Welcome to Email-Worx
Get a rolling view of what really matters in email marketing with a regular poll of your peers

Each month, we'll be putting the spotlight on a topical email issue, and giving you the chance to share your views and find out what others are thinking.

Welcome to the digital publication that walks the walk
Thank you for subscribing to Email-Worx - your definitive guide to planning, designing and delivering email newsletters.

This is Issue 0, our way of saying welcome. We think a welcome email is a great way to reinforce your relationship with new subscribers while your brand is fresh in their minds. Visit our archive to see issues of Email-Worx that you may have missed.

Every issue of Email-Worx will be packed with expert advice and inspirational ideas to help you deliver better email marketing campaigns.

Everyone who participates in the poll will be entered into a draw with a chance to win a great prize every month.

To make sure you have a chance of winning what you really want, let us know which of these fantastic prizes you'd prefer:

a. Nintendo Wii
b. £200 donation to your favourite charity
c. Apple iPhone
d. ASUS Eee PC Netbook
e. Amazon Kindle

It's also a live experiment - we'll share our key performance stats with you, good or bad and demonstrate how we respond to your interactions.

There will be two issues of Email-Worx a month. The first issue, fuel for the Right Brain, will lead on views and opinions, the second will satisfy the Left Brain, and will focus more on hard stats and metrics.

We'll be refining Email-Worx along the way, so don't hesitate to email me your thoughts

Talking Email
Subscription
Boot Camp
Email by Design*
Challenging your thinking and promoting discussion about the email channel.

Talking Email is a chance to take a step back and look at the bigger picture of email marketing strategy with Dela Quist, founder and CEO of Alchemy Worx.

To kick us off, Dela introduces his First Law of Email Marketing: how a shift in the way you view email marketing can transform your campaigns and deliver huge benefits - both directly and indirectly.

Talking Email
Subscription Boot Camp
Take a fresh look at your entire subscription process and maximise your email ROI
Here at Alchemy Worx, we believe email should be the main way that people you know visit your website and interact with your brand online. To meet this email marketing objective your entire subscription process needs to be optimised and fully integrated with your overall strategy.

So, to inspire you to look at your own subscription processes in a new light, each month we'll be looking at a different aspect of subscription and sharing our insights.

Email by Design
Top tips to keep your emails looking good - and working hard.

Every month, we'll be sharing our top HTML and design tips on a different aspect of email build and design - from pre-headers to footers via functional and emotional links.
We'll look at how to use design to gather detailed information about all of your subscribers, and how to make sure your emails arrive in your subscribers' inboxes looking just as you intended.

Naked email
Going where no email newsletter has gone before, we'll share the metrics of this newsletter with you, every issue

Every month we'll update you on the campaign and behavioural metrics for this very email newsletter - opens, clicks, delivery rates and more. After we've collected enough data, we'll also start reporting on reach, recency and frequency.

These stats will form an ongoing case study and real life example of how we interpret and use the metrics to improve the performance of Email-Worx, and giving our readers more value.
