3. E-Mail marketing:the possibilities are endless! Always have various links to different pages of your website Why not add the personal touch . Add in 1st names or salutations to grab the readers eye! Use plenty of colour and images. Put links on the images or important highlighted words Now you ask…. Why so many links???

4. Why track clicks?? • The importance of having different links is you can begin to build a better picture of what interests your prospects so you can begin targeting them more specifically. • We can identify who has clicked on which links more often and therefore we can design the next mailshot based on the results.

5. Good and Bad examples Remember its not just the overall look of the e-mail think about the 1st thing we see in the preview box, this will determine whether or not they open it!

6. Why use a host to send your E-Mails? • How up to date is your database? If you send e-mails off to incorrect e-mail addresses often there is a chance the server will recognise this as spam, this will then begin to block your e-mails • NRG use a white listed IP address so your e-mails have a guaranteed delivery. • We also include all of the legal opt out bits so we can tell you if anyone doesn’t want to receive your offers anymore
