If you are in the Retail / Clothing business, you know how important it is to have a good newsletter.  Owners and employees need an effective and timely manner of communication in order to keep their customers in touch with the business (announcements, events, news, customer reviews, special deals, future plans).

Newsletters are an amazing way to get your message out.  Thanks to content curation, it’s easier than ever to send newsletters through Gmail without a lot of work.  Content curation is the act of discovering, gathering, and presenting digital content that surrounds specific subject matter.
