The Friday memo hits 1,800 inboxes. 1,800 readers, or 3?

PowerPoint to PDF to screenshot to email, links pasted at the bottom like it's 2009. Half the list reads the screenshot. The other half reads nothing.


Your designer worked hard. Send the real thing.

Upload the designed PDF as is. Every show's look stays put, links still work, any device. And yes, the EA can still print it for the exec who reads on paper.

Sound familiar?

  • You build the memo in PowerPoint, export to PDF so the links survive, then screenshot it into an email and paste a link list at the bottom.
  • The wide list is 1,500 to 1,800 people and nobody can say whether it's 1,800 readers or three.
  • Friday night is spent babysitting a staged release: small group, then EPs, then the wide list, canceling by hand if the early numbers look bad.
  • An EA prints it for an exec who reads on paper, so a native newsletter would just mean building the thing twice.

Presitt takes the file you already made, sends it with live links and a receipt, and keeps the print version for the people who want paper. DocSend-style page analytics on a 1,800-person list—readers free, no per-view fees. The staged-release part is on the roadmap, below.

Sample receipt. Roles only. We made everyone up.

Shrink the list. Or don't. But know.

83 people never open it? Maybe they don't need it. Campaign team keeps forwarding it? Put them on it. Either way, stop guessing at 9 pm on a Friday.

Staged sends On the roadmap

Small group approves, EPs an hour later, the wide list the next day. Any "no" pauses the chain. Not built yet. We want your Friday nights back too.
