From newsletters to order confirmations, e-mail is an increasingly important aspect of the customer experience. There is much more to say about effective e-mail than we can fit into a brief column, but the tips below are a good start. The e-business industry is still so inexperienced about e-mail that even following these basic tips will put any dotcom ahead of most of the industry.

Use a "hook"
Support the hook
Be succinct
State the most Important things first
Write for Scan Ability
Use the active voice
Use the right tone for your audience
Use language that counts
Avoid URLs that wrap
Wrap text at 68 character per line
Avoid excessive use of ALL CAPS, ****, you knows.
Spacing and Space
Always offer an option to unsubscribe

The three most important pieces of real estate in an email

There are three key opportunities to get your message across to your customer. Failing to optimize these three opportunities will likely result in a large number of deleted e-mails.

The subject line, first line of the e-mail, and the P.S. at the end can hold the customer's interest. These three elements get more attention than any other section of an e-mail. If a customer is scanning the e-mail, as most customers do, those three may be the only elements read at all.
