Just how much email is too much?

Dela argues that there's no single answer to this frequently asked question. Different people on your list want different frequencies - your job is to target them accordingly. For some subscribers, you simply cannot send out too many emails...
Subscription Boot Camp
Legal Briefing


When developing your subscription process, the law will govern whether you need consent, what information you ask for, and your unsubscription process.

But be careful, there's more than the law to consider.

Email by Design
Do transactional messages have to be dull?

Many transactional messages are sent as text only - is this a missed opportunity, or are they a necessary evil to ensure all legal concerns are covered and guarantee deliverability?

Despite the limitations, there are still opportunities to be creative.
Is there an ideal frequency for sending out email?

Make sure you stay on the right side of the law

Should you enhance your transactional messages?

Required Reading
Events
Mark Brownlow has written a great review of the book "Successful e-mail marketing strategies: from hunting to farming" by Arthur Middleton Hughes and Arthur Sweetser. His summary made us buy the book!

Lisa Harmon questions the value of a transactional message from JetBlue on the Smith-Harmon blog and asks for feedback. Dela responded - what do you think?

While we are on the subject of transactional messages Loren McDonald posted a great article on Transactional Emails. It's a good summary of US legal requirements gives practical advice on how to optimise your program. Great minds think alike!
