“Best practices are
those practices that
generally produce
the best results or
minimize risk.”
@chadswhite #ET13
“Following best
practices doesn’t
make you mediocre,
unimaginative or a
conformist.”
@chadswhite #ET13
Adopting best practices isn’t
about ticking boxes.
It’s about execution.
@chadswhite #ET13

the BAD, and the BEST of

The Good, the Bad, and the Best: Practices for a Post “Wild West” Email Marketing World

Notas del editor

  1. A little background on me: I founded the Retail Email Blog and authored it for 6.5 years, worked at email marketing agency Smith-Harmon (acquired by Responsys) and at the Direct Marketing Association’s Email Experience Council, and started by career in journalism at Dow Jones and Conde Nast.
  2. Best practices are often misunderstood, with some people confusing best practices with common practices.
  3. Some take a simplistic tick-the-box view of best practices and claim that if everyone is doing the same thing it leads to mediocrity.
  4. Even Dilbert takes shots at best practices!
  5. In my book I compare best practices to a sheet a paper. It is confining to the degree that you have to stay on the paper and not be drawing on the table and floor and walls, but a sheet of paper also gives you lots of freedom for unique executions.
  6. Your most valuable subscribers always come from your website, making it a critical email acquisition to optimize.
  7. Southwest Airlines present two clear engagement options: email and an app.
  8. The email signup form is direct, showing you a sample email, outlining benefits, and asking for just 4 pieces of information in order to sign up.
  9. Meineke asks for lots of contact information—email, phone numbers, mailing address—making it clear that they’re going to send you direct mail and call you as well as email you. They also want car information that they could get themselves if they focused more on just getting you signed up and encouraging you to redeem your signup incentive coupon.
  10. EBags has a prominent and simple signup form.
  11. During early November, eBags added a seasonal appeal to their signup language to boost optins.
  12. Welcome emails are becoming fairly common, but welcome email series are the new differientiator.
  13. Threadless uses on brand imagery in their welcome email…
  14. … and includes four calls-to-action to deepen their relationship with the new subscriber.
  15. Tide doesn’t try to engage new subscribers at all, is vague about what they’ll be delivering, and their logo suffers rendering problems.
  16. Zulily sends a series of welcome emails, with the first focused on referrals,…
  17. … the second on getting to know the new subscriber’s brand preferences so they can send relevant emails in the future,…
  18. … the third focused on getting them to download their mobile app,…
  19. … the fourth focused on engaging them on social media, and…
  20. … the fifth asking for friend referral again. These welcome emails are interspersed with the promotional emails.
  21. Preheader text often appears as snippet text following a subject line on the iPhone, in Gmail and in Outlook new email notifications.
  22. The email clients that block images by default have been struck through, but it’s changing all the time.
