GLOBAL GROWTH REMAINS SLUGGISH AS TARIFF THREATS LOOM

Global economic growth is expected to slow as trade tensions and protectionist policies weigh on output. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects global growth will fall to 3.2% in 2025 and 3.1% in 2026, down from 3.3% last year. The US is forecast to slow to 2% growth this year from 2.8% in 2024, while China's growth is expected to drop to 4.8% and continue falling to 4.2% in 2026. The IMF warned that rising tariffs could fuel inflation in the US as higher import costs begin to reach consumers.

THE OPTIMAL EMAIL MARKETING FREQUENCY

Sending 7 emails monthly is the optimal frequency for maximizing customer lifetime value. Reducing this to 4 emails cut lifetime profit by 32%, while increasing it to 10 emails reduced profit by 16%. The best results come from tailoring email frequency by purchase behavior, sending 5-7 emails to frequent buyers, 6-10 to medium buyers, and 12-14 to infrequent buyers. Frequent buyers tend to ignore more emails, while occasional buyers engage more when they receive additional messages.

Trial Reels allow safe testing, scheduling maintains consistency, and influencer collaborations generate three times more engagement than brand posts.

CORPORATE PRESSURE KILLED LULULEMON'S CREATIVE SOUL

Lululemon's founder, Chip Wilson, used a full-page Wall Street Journal ad to call out the company's current marketing strategy. In his critique, Wilson blamed the board for dismantling the company's creative DNA and diluting what made the brand distinctive. He cited a loss of product focus, brand differentiation, entrepreneurial drive, and creative leadership. When growth outpaces brand identity, companies lose pricing power and relevance. Wilson's call to reverse what he calls “GAP-ivization” is a reminder to protect what made a brand valuable in the first place.
