September 24, 2009: A Newsletter Inspiration


From: Shutterfly
Subject Line: Get bright ideas for the holidays and more
Date: Thursday, September 24, 2009

I have to say I love this newsletter from Shutterly.

Visually:
It has a light & airy feel (which can be difficult with the amount of information packed into this email) with a punch of well-chosen colors. The imagery is well placed to draw the eye across and down the page. The content is engaging with a variety of topics from video and iphone apps to holiday reminders and coupons.

Best Standards:
It also hits the mark for email best standards with...
-- A full preheader of standard options
   (See Chad White's reportlet on popular preheader elements)
-- HTML body text
-- Alt tags on graphic headlines & images
--Standard newsletter "In this Issue" (table of contents) located above-the-fold
--Website navigation in the header
--Legal footer & opt out information

My Suggestions:
--Try the navigation in HTML text
--Use a standard button treatment throughout
--Try using the space at the bottom (where the header is repeated)
   as a recovery module with additional link options.

I give this email 5 hearts!
