How email marketing helps plant trees in Oregon.
Every time a new customer joins the Emma community, Emma plants 5 trees. Our tree-planting parter, Plant-It 2020, does the actual planting. And usually you, blog reader, do the actual deciding where the trees should go. But this this time around, we’re taking matters into our own hands. Somehow or another, March zipped right past us, before we had a chance to ask folks to vote on where that month’s trees should go. So we’re just going to award the trees to Oregon.
Why Oregon? Well, we like Oregon. We like it so much we have a 4-person office in Portland, all of them working hard for the Emma community on the West Coast.
There were 431 new customers who joined Emma in March, so that means 2,155 new trees to plant. Half will go to Oregon, while the rest go to an equatorial region.
Plant-It 2020 keeps a list of states where they plant, and the only ones that haven’t gotten trees from Emma are Rhode Island and Vermont. This month, something’s gotta give.

Thanks for the Trees. Even though we already have hundreds of millions of them here in Oregon we can always use more. Welcome to PDX and let your team here not to be a stranger to us. We also are proud to have Yesmail and other regional representatives in the Portland Metro area.
Cheers.
We appreciate the kind welcome, Dylan. And you’re right, our teams should definitely connect in PDX. Look for an email from me (or Kris) to help make it happen!
I vote for trees in South Carolina! We love Emma (and trees!) here, too!
Maybe not the creepy Hackberry, but something fun and heat-lovin’. :)
Thanks for the sweet note, Beth, and perhaps we can get South Carolina on Plant-It 2020′s list of approved states for planting (sadly, the palmetto state isn’t on there: http://www.plantit2020.org/locations.html). In the meantime, at least you don’t have to deal with a bunch of snarky hackberries. Thanks again, and happy arbor day!
