- Economic aftershocks: Consumers are ready to spend, but the supply isn't there to meet demand

At the behest (see: "badgering") of IMPACT partnerships and events steward Nick Bennett, I ordered Chinese takeout earlier, and I got this as my fortune:
I guess... I won't wear ties going forward?
I was going to connect this odd, nonsensical brain-breaker of a fortune back to the fact that, like, the golden rule of websites โ from UX to copy โ is to never make a visitor think in any way. (They should know exactly what actions to take without thinking and should understand what all of your copy and messaging means without thinking, and blah, blah, blah.)
But, truthfully... it's the day before vacation. And I'm just confused.
So, no big lessons in this issue. No wild, hard-hitting truths. Tonight, I'm just a girl standing in front of a fortune cookie, asking it to make some freaking sense.
And now, here's THE LATEST...
The coronavirus pandemic has hit the supply chain hard for businesses across the board. According to INC, while consumers might be ready to buy, many are being met those same four words: Currently out of stock. The reality is that this level of demand wasnโt anticipated by retailers. In this article from IMPACT Director of Demand Generation Kristen Harold, get the inside scoop on how coronavirus has impacted the supply chain and other areas of the economy, resulting in consumers unable to get the products they're looking for.

Basecamp just introduced a new way to email called HEY, and for once, it really is different. Really different. The overall philosophy of HEY is that we should not be getting as many emails as we currently do and HEY makes it easy to have full control over that. Control is what sets HEY apart from other email services. In this article, IMPACT UX Designer Joel Waggener dishes out everything you need to know about HEY, Basecamp's game-changing email service.
