Appointment Reminder Annual Pre-pay copy (2014)

Notes

This is the latest version of an email which I send periodically, offering customers the opportunity to pre-pay for SaaS in return for a discount. The benefits to the SaaS company are better cash flow and reduced churn rate. The benefits to the customer are, well, in the email. This genre of email has produced hundreds of thousands of dollars in pre-pays for some companies I work with, and it rarely requires any more work than this example.

I've put $79 is as a placeholder for the cost of the user's plan. We calculate that for each account, naturally, along with the billing contact's name.

Subject: Save $79 on Appointment Reminder (and get a tax write-off) Formatting: 100% plain text. Gmail automatically links up the central link. From: Patrick McKenzie (Appointment Reminder) [email protected]

Code for getting compiler check on key paths, more accurate than using NSStringFromSelector(@selector(foo)).
// See http://nshipster.com/key-value-observing/
// Put this code a common utilities header, and use it to have the compiler help check correctness of key paths.
// Uses macro stringification to create an Obj-C string literal, plus validation code that the compiler optimizes out.

About iOS 7 Status Bar Style

UIStatusBarStyle in iOS 7

  • The status bar in iOS 7 is transparent, the view behind it shows through.

  • The style of the status bar refers to the appearances of its content. In iOS 7, the status bar content is either dark (UIStatusBarStyleDefault) or light (UIStatusBarStyleLightContent). Both UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent and UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque are deprecated in iOS 7.0. Use UIStatusBarStyleLightContent instead.

How to change UIStatusBarStyle

  • If below the status bar is a navigation bar, the status bar style will be adjusted to match the navigation bar style (UINavigationBar.barStyle):
