Email Newsletters: best practice

 

Hello everyone

As part of the forthcoming NEPA (Newsletter and Electric Publishers Association) event, I'll be doing a presentation on "A checklist for launching or improving an email newsletter program".  I'm keen to get some feedback on my intended plan, as I am sure everyone else will be able to suggest and discuss 'hot issues' that I should be considering.

The provisional plan is to cover the following:

  • Data Management:
    • Capturing data legally and compliantly
    • Beyond the demographics: What information can you capture on recipients?
  • Message Design:
    • Practical advice when formatting layout and design
    • Format: Html and Text explained
    • Attachments
    • Sender addresses
  • Getting them delivered to the inbox. Publishers guide to ‘deliverability’:
    • Spam filters
    • Sender Certificates, White Lists & Black lists explained
  • Reporting & Refinement:
    • What reporting possible and how is this information being used by publishers
The audience is a mixture of senior publishers and marketers so I need to blend in strategic research with practical lessons.Have I missed any key issues?

Thanks in advance
