Follow Your Favorite Stores & Get Weekly Event Digests

We're excited to announce a feature many of you have been asking for: the ability to follow your favorite stores and receive personalized weekly event digests!

Follow Your Favorite Stores

Finding and keeping track of events from stores and organizers you love is now easier than ever:

• Follow Button: Visit any store hub page and click the "Follow" button to stay updated
• Personalized Discovery: Build your own network of stores you care about
• Quick Access: Easily find your followed stores in your account settings
• Stay Connected: Support your local game stores by keeping up with their events

Weekly Event Digest Emails

Never miss an event from stores you care about:

• Customized Digests: Receive emails with upcoming events only from stores you follow
• Convenient Schedule: Digests are sent twice weekly (Sundays and Thursdays)
• Personalized Settings: Control your digest frequency in your account settings
• At-a-Glance Format: Quick overview of events with all the essential details
• Forward Planning: See events up to 30 days ahead

This feature helps both players and stores. Players can easily discover and track events at their favorite venues, while stores benefit from improved visibility and attendance at their events.

To get started, simply visit your favorite store's hub page and hit the "Follow" button. Your first digest will arrive in your inbox on the next scheduled delivery day.

For Store Owners & Tournament Organizers

Refreshed Store Hub Design

We've updated the store hub pages with a more modern, engaging design:

• Cleaner Layout: Improved visual organization makes your information easier to find
• Follow Button: Prominently displayed so players can easily follow your store
• Mobile-Optimized: Better experience for players browsing on their phones
• Enhanced Event Display: Your upcoming events are showcased more effectively

Weekly Digest System

This new system is designed to help promote your events to players who have specifically chosen to follow your store:

• Automatic Promotion: Every Sunday and Thursday, we'll send digest emails featuring your upcoming events
• Smart Selection: We include up to 4 of your closest upcoming events in each digest
• Expanded Reach: Your events are showcased directly in players' inboxes
• No Extra Work: Once set up, the system runs automatically

How to Maximize This Feature:

1. Encourage Players to Follow Your Hub: Ask your regular players to follow your store hub for updates
2. Create a Hub if You Don't Have One: Don't have a store hub yet? Create one now so players can follow you
3. Keep Your Event Calendar Updated: The more events you have scheduled, the more visibility you'll get in digests
4. Schedule Events in Advance: Events up to 30 days out are included in the digests

Having players follow your store creates a direct communication channel to your most engaged customers. Each time they receive a digest with your events, it's a reminder of your upcoming tournaments and a prompt to register.

As always, we're eager to hear your feedback on this new feature. Let us know your thoughts through our Discord community.
