The State of Transactional Email 
New Challenges for Transactional Email A few new problems have risen with the changing landscape of transactional email. While there is less “spam” in the traditional sense, users today are overburdened with email. They’re quick to call an email message “spam” if it feels irrelevant, too frequent, or otherwise annoying. This behavior is a major consequence of a pushy, salesy approach to transactional email. Additionally, users are quick to report email as spam through their email client if there [...]

Pitfalls of coding emails — lessons learned (part 1) 
I already had some experience involving the creation of (responsive) emails, but as it turns out with my latest project, there is still much to learn. You always keep your fingers crossed when you put your HTML to the test on whatever email testing platform you use, hoping the result isn’t too bad. You’d expect, being 2018, that email design would evolve over time like web design did, but no, it didn’t… If you ask me, it became even worse, looking back on the last decade. [...]

Die größten DSGVO-Mythen: die Einwilligung - Was stimmt? 
Die DSGVO ist seit dem 25.05.2018 wirksam. Davor und danach war einiges los. Über kaum ein anderes Thema wurde so viel geredet und publiziert. Leider haben die zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen mit den angeblich „besten“ Hinweisen und Empfehlungen nicht dazu geführt, dass alle „Verantwortlichen“ verstanden haben, worum es geht. Im Gegenteil, es herrscht noch immer allgemeine Verwirrung über die Umsetzung der DSGVO. Bestes Beispiel: Die Flut von Newsletter-Mails vor und nach dem 25.05.2018, mit der [...]

Who are mimecast? 
Mimecast is a filter primarily used by businesses. They’re fairly widely used. In some of the data analysis I’ve done for clients, they’re a top 10 or top 20 filter. Earlier today someone asked on Facebook if mimecast may be blocking emails based on the TLD. The short answer is it’s unlikely. I’ve not seen huge issues with them blocking based on TLD of the domain. They’re generally more selective than that. [...]

7 brands that mastered the welcome email [GFX]
If you've been doing this whole marketing thing for a while, you know that welcome emails are important. Your subscribers expect to receive one, it's one of the most-opened emails you'll ever send, it helps boost long-term brand loyalty... the list goes on. But one thing that continually surprises me is how few brands try to actually accomplish anything with their welcome email. [...]

3 Tips for Designing the Best Brand Collaboration Emails [GFX]
Collaboration is a good thing. When two brands come together, they each benefit in plenty of ways. There’s the synergy of working together, the fun of creating something you couldn’t or wouldn’t have alone, and the added exposure of accessing each other’s audiences. Hopefully, a bump in sales is a benefit, too. Working together = good for everyone. So it’s no surprise we see tons of brand collaboration emails in our inbox. Today, we’ll look at some stellar examples and offer design tips for how to [...]

The agony of trying to unsubscribe [VID]
It happens to all of us: you unsubscribe from an unwanted marketing email, and a few days later another message from the same company pops up in your inbox. Comedian James Veitch turned this frustration into whimsy when a local supermarket refused to take no for an answer. Hijinks ensued. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on [...]
