Hello everyone!
The wonderful Stephanie Fuccio of Coffeelike Media and I came up with an idea for an experiment:
I’m sending two Substack posts out with basically the exact same information today - I apologize for that, but I promise it’s for a good reason:
The idea is to provide a deeper look into a topic of Door Key. I’m curious which version you prefer: this version with all the information here linked to Instagram, or the other version I sent out, which has all the same information laid out here on Substack … or if you don’t like either one (that’s a valid choice too!).
I’m asking you to please let me know what you prefer via comments, dm, or email me here to let me know.
Thank you so much for indulging me in this experiment today! Depending on the answers I get, I will only be sending one version of this type of post out next time (or, depending on your feedback, no post at all!).
xoxo, April
