Hi,
I had asked this in the past but I was wondering about what your dates signify when it goes into the “Coming Soon” section of the email. Coming soon would signify ‘in the future’ yet there are 2018 and 2019 dates and it just gets confusing as a result.
Thanks (in advance) for the explanation
-Juan Bilderain
