What Your clients shan’t get?• Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE)=Spam• Typical spam has a bogus sender address & bogus offers• Ensure recipients don’t misconstrue your message as spam

E-mail Marketing

- In general, keep it short and sweet. Use links.

- Weekly newsletter should be no more than 5 sections, with 3 or fewer paragraphs each,

- Monthly newsletter can be double or triple that.

- Promotional messages should be significantly shorter than a newsletter.

- Include whole articles or just abstracts with links to the rest?

22 E-mail Marketing

Provide numerous opt-in opportunities all with low barriers to entry…- Make sure the amount of work required to sign up is minimal

- Many sites only require the email address and all other personal information is optional

- Place the email list sign-up on all forms on your site, including inquiry, order, and feedback forms

- Ok to have the sign-up checkbox ticked in advance!!!!

- Let the recipient control the contact frequency
