Email Best Practices

Short is Sweet
People are busy. Subject line should tell readers what they'll get when they open the email. Keep your subject line to 50 characters or less to be readable in the email pane.
Consider all Screens
Use Litmus.com to see how your email appears across a wide variety of platforms
A/B Test
Test subject lines, colors, timing of messages. Split your list in half alphabetically for easy identification. Don’t test more than one thing at a time.
Record & Measure
Keep meticulous records of who received a message lately, who clicked, what worked, day/time, open and click-through rate
Want to Know What to Include in Your Email?
