Release-notes email cadence between major launches
Send a recurring product release email between big launches so smaller improvements keep earning attention instead of disappearing into the app.
Why this can grow a startup
A big launch spike fades quickly, but product value usually accumulates in smaller fixes and follow-on improvements. A steady release-notes cadence gives those changes a route to customers without pretending each one deserves a keynote. It keeps the product top of mind, gives dormant users a reason to revisit, and trains the market to expect steady motion instead of occasional theatrics.
Company example
Buffer described using a regularly occurring product release-notes email, sent every eight weeks at the time, as part of its continuous-improvement marketing system.

When to use it
Use this when Email, Lifecycle, Product Marketing is relevant to post-launch, retention, re-engagement and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
