I just circled back because I realized I never answered your question clearly.

I would go with the earlier option, mostly because it feels easier to live with day to day.

The other one sounds exciting at first, but I think I would get tired of managing all the little parts after a week or two.

I usually notice that the simplest choice ends up fitting into my routine better.

If you want, I can help compare them side by side in a more practical way.

I tend to make a quick list of what feels effortless, what causes friction, and what still seems appealing after sleeping on it.

That usually reveals the answer without forcing it.

Also, I would not worry too much about making the perfect call right away.

Most decisions become clearer once you try the version that feels least complicated first.

If that does not click, adjusting later is usually much easier than expected.

Account-based notice for Ace Hardware loyalty members.

I meant to get back to you earlier, and yes, I tried your idea this morning.

It actually worked better than I expected once I stopped overthinking it.

The hardest part was just getting started, because I kept imagining I needed a perfect plan first.

After ten minutes, it started to feel natural and a lot less intimidating.

I think that is usually how it goes for me when I postpone something small for too long.

If you are still undecided, I would say begin with the version that takes the least setup.

That makes it easier to keep going without turning it into a whole project.

I also learned that doing a rough first pass gives me better information than sitting around trying to predict the result.

If you want, send me what you end up with and I can look it over later tonight.

I am around and happy to help sort through the details with fresh eyes.
