Your email campaigns are important to the success of your marketing efforts, but even the most well-intentioned message can hit a nerve with a recipient. In order to avoid having your subscribers click the “Spam” button, take the following precautions with your campaigns.

  • Enrolling Site (website name and/or url) they opted in from
  • Name of the subscribed communication
  • Frequency of communication delivery
  • Benefits of communication
  • Learn more link (if there is a related communication or information of value to your subscriber)
