6 tips for newsletter publishers

Here are six great tips for newsletter publishers courtesy of the legendary Reggie Brady (www.reggiebrady.com) @rbinCT from the most recent Target Marketing magazine www.targetmarketing.com @TargetMktg:


• Use a snippet at the top of your emails to highlight additional topics not covered in the subject line.

• If you have a table of contents, use anchor links so readers can easily click to the article of interest.

• Check your width. With so many people reading emails on a mobile device, you want your content to be accessible. Keep your width as close as 500 pixels as possible.

• If you use columns, make sure the important information is in the larger left-hand column. Some mobile devices will only show the upper right-hand part of the screen.

• More than 40 percent of emails are read on a mobile device; therefore, you need to rethink font sizes. Headlines should be a font size of 22 and body copy should have a minimum font size of 13 to ensure certain browsers will not resize your copy. Any call-to-action buttons should be 29 x 44 pixels with 10-pixel padding.

• Sharing is important! Friends and colleagues are influencers. With newsletters, it is likely that you want to include sharing icons after each article to maximize exposure
