Customer Spotlight
Stu Heinecke, CartoonLink
Stu Heinecke, President of Cartoon Link, recently started using SimplyCast 360 to nurture leads that sign up for a copy of his free eBook, an exerpt from his book Drawing Attention. Stu's cleverly built seven-step nurturing program engages with leads based on how they have interacted with past communications, and prompts them to try his cartoons in their own sales and marketing campaigns.
In this free eBook, Stu shares proof that personalized cartoons are one of the most powerful engagement devices ever invented. In a recent interview with the SimplyCast Team, Stu revealed the three-pronged "unfair advantage" that cartoons provide. First, cartoons are extremely memorable; in fact, in a recent survey of the most well-remembered parts of magazines and newspapers, cartoons and editorials came out on top. Second, the humorous, almost subliminal nature of cartoons creates a point of agreement between sender and recipient by revealing the truth in a funny twist. Third, cartoons make people laugh, which has a very disarming effect and creates a connection between sender and recipient. Stu has used his cartoons to reach past presidents, prime ministers, and the editor of the Wall Street Journal.
Stu invites all of you to test one of his "cartoon devices" in your email or SimplyCast 360 automation sequences. Additionally, he'd like to offer you all a copy of his free eBook. Click the link below to download the book and be added to the CartoonLink 360 Flow.

SimplyCast Community
The "Ride On" Project
With marketing automation, you can solve many of the day-to-day challenges that people face. The "Ride On" project was created by one of our Star Employees using the SimplyCast 360 because she got sick and tired of missing her bus (and being late for work). This free community initiative now helps spread awareness for the local chapter of the Make a Wish Foundation.
