Here's another note for that work-related project mentioned in my previous post:
Keep email templates out of the B2B realm, please..

I pretty much disagree with almost every point in Brand-Aid for Everyday Email, by Barry Stamos, especially for B2B communications.

I deal with about 100 clients on a weekly basis, and get probably 1,000 emails on average each week. Only one of them sends me email in a branded HTML form. You know which client I hate to receive email from? Yep, you guess it, that one.

[snip]

Also, I personally use two or three email clients, and some support HTML and others don't. Why risk the chance of having your message displayed horribly to me, if you don't know what kind of email client I'm using? Isn't the real message more important than your damn logo? I mean really? If you're emailing me for a reason, then it's probably important to you that I get the message quickly and easily, right?

Question for the author (inluminent): newsletters can contain multiple bodies, enabling the client's email program to choose which format to render to the user. If your email client chooses to render the html version, does it still bother you?

I am jotting this down because of a work-related project:
UseIt: Great points about Email Newsletters.

Do you publish a newsletter? Are you thinking about it?

If so, read this article from UseIt: Email Newsletters Pick Up Where Websites Leave Off

You'll find some great information, and gain a better understanding of what's important in a newsletter by today's standards.

When you're done with that one, go read this one about writing headlines.
