Why Email?
Email lists are opt-in and permission based.
Allows you to engage with your exact
(or even segments of) your exact target audience.
Significantly lower production and delivery costs than other
forms of marketing.
No delay between distribution and delivery means your content
is as fresh as a hot Krispy Kreme.
Results are fast and extremely measurable.
In Summary: Pick 3


    Good        Fast

        Cheap

WHY HTML EMAIL?
 You can still deliver a plain-text alternative.
 Makes tracking open rates possible - well, easier.
 Don’t have to use ALL CAPS or punctuation ascii art to
 denote headlines or -=important=- text.
 Hooray for hyperlinks!
 Because your client wants their logo on it.
 (...and you can make it bigger.)

         It looks like you're trying
         to design an “HTML” Email.
         Would you like me to make
         some suggestions?
           Lose the background images.
           I hate forms. They are stupid.
           Floats? I'll take root beer!
           Nobody hovers links anyway...
           CSS3? I'm still learning about
           the width property!
