WonderDads is a monthly subscription box filled with family activity ideas for fathers. It’s like Birchbox for dad bonding, and it seems to be doing pretty well. I’m glad—this is a great idea.

When I subscribed to their newsletter a few weeks back, it felt a little flat. Like there was room to play up the father/child superhero theme. This could be so much more fun. So I gave it a shot.

The tone is friendly, genuine and a little quirky. Some lines are a little off-brand, but I’m not being paid by them, sooo… Anyway, maybe there’s some usable stuff here.

Overall: Meh+. It’s getting better but still lots of room for growth.

Learning: I ditched some of the general blog formulas and started with a brain dump of creative lines and themes. Then I worked those into the templates and mixed & matched until I felt like I had something decent. There are some good lines here but not as many as I’d like. Keep doing what you do, Wonderdads

I’ll keep pairing down formulas and fascinations until I find my favorites. Lots of time left to get ’em right.

Overall time: 1 hour, 12 minutes.
