好色先生TV/BD/Housing Today Solus email specifications
Please supply an email using the styles laid out in our template example at least five working days in advance of the planned send date.
An html file with the images already hosted is our preferred method. We鈥檙e not able to input code in Campaign Monitor due to our templates so we have to build the emails from scratch.
This means there are some design limitations as listed below:
鈥� We can鈥檛 have any more than three columns in a row
鈥� We can only create square images
鈥� We鈥檙e unable to wrap text
Some clients choose to send us their email broken up into images for us to piece together to present a more complex design.
SPECIFICATIONS
鈥� Please remember to supply a subject line
鈥� Supply all your colour codes and images
鈥� Supply an email using our style template below that contains a good balance of both text and images 鈥� this ensures the email is still readable for recipients with image blocking. (such as anyone using Hotmail, Gmail or Outlook). As a general guide, at least 50% of the email should be made up of text with an absolute minimum of 35% text in order to get through the spam filters
鈥� Don鈥檛 supply an email with no call to action within the text. This will limit the number of click-throughs due to image deliverability
鈥� Don鈥檛 include any unsubscribe links
鈥� Avoid using background images 鈥� they are not supported by Outlook 2007 or 2010
鈥� Don鈥檛 supply an email composed of only images because they have a very high spam rating and are unlikely to be received by most recipients
Please note our 鈥満蒙壬鶷V/BD/Housing Today鈥� header will feature at the top of your email 鈥� this will help your response by connecting your message with our brand.
