New Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class Posts Impressive Number Of Incoming Orders

The exclusive GLK 鈥淓dition 1鈥?variant has already attracted a lot of interest even before its official introduction to the market, as Mercedes-Benz has received 1,000 orders for the special model to date. In Germany, every fourth GLK order is an 鈥淓dition 1鈥?vehicle. The special model will only be available for the launch of the GLK-Class. Among other things, the high-end model will feature a specially designed exterior and interior with a sports package as well as an AMG multifunction leather steering wheel. 鈥淎pparently the GLK-Class perfectly meets the current trends,鈥?says Dr. Klaus Maier, head of Sales and Marketing at Mercedes-Benz Cars. 鈥淭he GLK is a compact SUV that has everything that is typical for a Mercedes-Benz: an expressive design, extensive safety features, and the typical Mercedes-Benz driving comfort. The media response to initial GLK-Class test drives was also very positive. During a three-week driving presentation on all types of terrain in July, a total of 600 international media representatives were able to experience for themselves the superior driving quality offered by the model series. Thanks to its AGILITY CONTROL chassis, the GLK boasts excellent handling and safety combined with outstanding driving comfort. In addition, the model鈥檚 variable 4MATIC all-wheel drive system and electronic stability control ensure perfect on-road performance, and reliability in off-road applications. Mercedes-Benz offers four and six-cylinder engines for the GLK that are both powerful and economical. The brand will also begin offering a BlueEFFICIENCY model in the spring of 2009 in the form of the GLK 220 CDI featuring a new four-cylinder diesel engine. The GLK-Class boasts pioneering passive safety systems, excellent interior comfort and low noise, and a high level of value retention. Mercedes-Benz is also making available for the first time in this vehicle class state-of-the-art systems such as the PRE-SAFE safety package and the ILS intelligent light system.

For your own email marketing, TheSkimm is the place to go if you're looking for writing inspiration or for emails without much visual content. Of course, that means there's a lot of content for the average person to filter through. To help bring great content to the surface, Medium uses email newsletters. And after I open this newsletter every day, I end up going to visit several Medium posts without fail. Mission accomplished for Medium, right? Here's why: The newsletter feels pretty minimal. Because of the way that Medium uses colors and section dividers, they're able to give you a ton of content in one email without it feeling overwhelming. Plus, they offer both a daily and a weekly version of the digest, allowing users to opt in for the email frequency they feel most comfortable with. BrainPickings is one of the most interesting newsletters out there. This is one of the longest newsletters I've ever read, but what makes it still work well is how high quality and well packaged the content is. Litmus definitely does. While the content of the emails is certainly interesting, I'm especially digging the design.

The blocks of color help break up the newsletter into sections that are easy to differentiate. There are a lot of creative things you can do with images in your emails, from designing your own custom graphics to creating animated GIFs. General Assembly, an organization that helps expand professionals' skill sets, likes to employ tactics like these in their newsletter. From their attractive and minimal layout to their concise copy and helpful information, this is a great example of a newsletter that gives subscribers quick information in an easily scannable format. This. (yes, the full stop is part of the brand name) is another great newsletter for finding -- and sharing -- the best and most entertaining content on the web. What makes their newsletter unique is that it isn't just content curated by one person or one team; it's content curated by a community of people on the internet. Members are allowed to share one, single link every day -- presumably the best content they find the entire day.

The newsletter consists of the editor's picks from all the amazing content their community members have shared. Subscribers also have the option of signing up for a custom newsletter, which includes the editor's picks and a custom feed from curators they can pick and choose. That's some pretty cool personalization. This is the ultimate SaaS newsletter, from a guy that kind of knows a thing or two about SaaS. While his approach is simple, this roundup is packed with value and organized in a way that makes it easy to discover content around your specific interests. Shah does this by breaking the list of curated posts into different sections -- Business, Product, Marketing Growth, Tip of the Week, etc. -- which makes it easily scannable. Remember Grantland, the sports and pop culture blog owned by ESPN that was started by sports journalist Bill Simmons? In October 2015, ESPN announced it would be ending the publication of Grantland. Shortly thereafter, Simmons formed Bill Simmon Media Group and recruited a whole bunch of former Grantland staffers to launch a brand new newsletter in March 2016 called The Ringer.
