You can test items such as the Subject, images, template, and format. All factors that may or may not hinder your email&#8217;s reception.<\/p>\n\n<p>Your best time of day may also depend on your industry, audience, and message content: remember you want to send the right message at the right time.

But is HTML emails really the preferred format?\u00a0 If you test that theory on your email subscribers, you may find the email you send with the least number of images is the most preferred.<\/p>\n\n<p>And some prefer plain text. Plain text is so much easier for the marketer. There are no concerns with colors, pictures, and layouts. Sometimes the message is just too important to leave it up to an image.

A good Subject Line should be an integral part of your email campaign strategy driving your subscriber to take action. Whether your goal is to distribute coupons or share a written article. The bottom line; a Subject Line should describe the subject of the newsletter or promotion, nothing different from the expectations you set by your Welcome or Hello letter when your subscribers first opted-in.

Or, on the other hand, do you value the open rates of your emails to gauge your success?\u00a0 Are there other reports that are more significant; reports that will consider all the important statistics needed by the email marketer? \u00a0Or are you limited by a few choices between one analytical reporting tool or another? \u00a0With email marketing, someone always seems to have a better tool to analyze email-marketing campaigns and then another tool comes along.\u00a0 How many reporting tools should you use and what are the results really telling you?<\/p>\n\n<p>Who opened your email is an important metric. However, email reporting tools are not 100% accurate and for that reason, you should always look at the bigger picture.\u00a0 There\u2019s a lot of analyzing going on; Best days to email, message size, color preferences,\u00a0subject lines, which From address to use and so forth.\u00a0 For example, competitors in the same industry releasing a similar email campaign will get different results, as there are many variations and factors beyond control: i.e. when a major ISP goes offline.

Even if delivered, the messages may not pass the recipient&#8217;s filter settings in their email client. Both indicate that you do not have total control over your deliverability, so what can you do?<\/p>\n\n<p>Deliverability depends on your email practices.
