In this short, Ryan Dohrn outlines a practical email‑marketing framework built around the number three. He advises marketers to pre‑write a six‑email sequence and schedule automatic delivery every three business days, which spreads sends across the week and avoids repeating the same weekday for about a month, improving deliverability. He then expands the "Power of 3" principle: use three‑word subject lines, keep each email to three sentences, present three pricing options, and generally structure messaging around triads. He illustrates the concept with cultural references (Three Little Pigs, Three Musketeers, etc.) to reinforce its psychological resonance.

What you can do then is you can set up those 6 emails, pre-build them in advance, and then you can set them up that the system will automatically deliver those emails every 3 business days. Now, why every 3 business days? Well, there's 5 business days in a week. If you use every 3 business days as a general rule, then you're typically not going to be sending an email on the exact same day of the week Until about 4 weeks have gone through the process. So after your 4th or 5th email, that's when you're finally getting back on the same day. I just like the 3 on 5, a little bit of deliverability there. But then also, I'm real big on the power of 3, as you know. 3 words in my subject line, 3 sentences max. I'm gonna follow up every 3 business days. I send my sequence every 3 business days. I give 3 pricing options. I'm the oldest of 3 kids. Father, Son, Holy Ghost. I mean, we could go on and on about the power of 3. 3 Little Pigs, 3 Musketeers, 3 Blind Mice, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. I mean, the power of 3 is real, right? So that's why I tend to use it that way.
