🎯 Playful Newsletters

Gamification is a strategy used to make content more interactive and enjoyable for subscribers, potentially leading to higher retention rates.

The most prominent example was the acquisition of Wordle by The New York Times for a few million dollars (with no revenues) in 2021.

The Newsletter Newsletter takes us on a deep dive in the strategy behind it.

This approach can be a creative way for newsletter creators to connect with their audience and keep them actively involved in the content.

Kevin Jourdan applauds the genius move by the New York Times.

Many other media like Morning Brew and Vox have similar games, whether it’s a strategy or they just like to play. It would be nice to see more fun games in a bunch of newsletters!

Maybe we will start our own…
