In this issue of Email Worx we'll be talking about how to go about growing your list, how to make the most of your welcome messages and why optimising for blocked images might not be a good thing after all.
Remember: we're always looking to refine Email-Worx as we go, so do
email us your feedback.

List growth: Don't buy a list - build one
|
|
|
"Today I'm going to talk about list building and it's very hard for me to do this without getting cross..."
Dela wonders aloud why businesses are prepared to spend so much buying data and so little on organic growth.

Welcome messages: Make a lasting first impression
|
|
|
Welcome messages arrive in subscribers' inboxes at the very moment they are most engaged with your email program.
Done right, they're a great chance to cement your relationship with new names, encourage image downloading and improve inbox delivery.

Using Images: Opportunity or threat? |
|
|
Best practice advice for the use of images in email is usually to avoid them where possible. So why do so many well known brands (including some of our own clients) do the exact opposite?
Could they be on to something?
