Buffer journey
Why this works
**Why this works.** The subject line "Buffer changed a lot last year..." names the transformation, not the features, so readers open to see what's different about the product they already use rather than tuning out another feature dump. The pattern here is "lead with change, not capability"; you can lift it for any product update email where you want existing users to re-engage with familiar tools by signaling that the product has evolved, not just accumulated features.
