Good Causes And Email Marketing

I have recently subscribed to an e-newsletter which focuses on a hobby of mine. It is produced by a small company, consisting of just three permanent staff, none of whom have any graphics training, although the copy is gratifyingly grammatically accurate. They know email marketing though. The company supports a charity, one unknown to me … READ MORE »

Write Copy Your Subscribers Want To Read

Some years ago, when history was my main pastime, I belonged to a group which rented a rather well-known TV historian for a talk on the British Civil Wars. It was fascinating. However, the most memorable part was the post wine and finger buffet Q&A where, loosened by the rather decent vintage, the speaker wandered … READ MORE »

Improve Your Email Marketing Performance

Writers block is when you look at an empty document and have no idea what you are going to write. Nothing comes to you.
