101 Email Marketing Pieces You Could Be (Should Be?) Testing

One of the advantages to working with so many email marketing companies and getting so much email is being inundated with so many emails. OK, that might not sound like an advantage. But from an educational and best practices standpoint, it is! That’s because there is always a great history of best practices advice,  comparative analyses, and other information in our inbox, making the inbox a fantastically simple resource in an extremely complex industry.

This morning here at ClickMail Marketing,  we scrolled down and came across this gem of email marketing advice from way back in July. Yes, that’s eons ago in technology time, but true wisdom stands the test of time…and this email is true wisdom. This is a list of 101 email marketing pieces you (and we!) could be testing.

Definitely check out the list to see which factors jump out at you as new but possible. For example, consider the subtlety of numbers 27 and 28 on the list:

These are the types of email marketing elements you might not even consider testing if it weren’t for this list. And there are plenty more to consider…almost 100 in fact!
