Issue 7 List growth
List building

This month we're wondering what priority you give to building your list.

What percentage of your email marketing budget do you allocate to list growth?

Take part in our monthly poll and Alchemy Worx might buy you a Wii...

This Issue:
Talking email: List growth - success begins at home
Welcome Messages: Make a lasting first impression
Using Images: Opportunity or threat
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.

Could they be on to something?
