What else can we do better next time? What did we do great this time?
1. Think about the benefits for the people you release it too and emphasize that in the announcement. You're trying to sell something here :) No one is interested in OBS, everybody is interested in what it can do for them. You need to explain this in simple, short sentences without too many details. The hanky is not squishy. The hanky protects your nose. The Ferrari is not fast, the Ferrari is freedom on wheels.
2. Have less paragraphs and use more connecting text. We are trained to stop reading if there is a paragraph. They are a very powerful thing in text and you should use them sparsely. You have around 500 words and 10 paragraphs.
3. Screenshots, Buttons, Banners. Humans are visual animals. Jonna learns shapes and colors before reading right? We need to see things to believe (buy) them.

One more thing I want to add... In the great words of Henne who says "Just do it!" and "It's okay to fail." I think we achieved something significant in the OBS strategy planning which is significant for the marketing team as a whole. We actually worked on and developed a campaign strategy. While the strategy may not have been perfect, it was a positive thing that we actually attempted to make such a plan and it moved our team forward overall as a more educated marketing team. For that.... WAY TO GO GUYS!! Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
