From: The Container Store
Subject Line: Could the store you love get any better?
Date: September 28, 2009

The Container Store recently sent out this email giving some insight into their company's "Foundation Principles" and inviting subscribers to learn more on a new special section of their website. The copy may be a tad bit on the long side, but it's sincere and inviting, and I love that there's nothing directly promotional in the hero. It really focuses on making subscribers feel good about the values they support when shopping at The Container Store. The design is clean and simple, and the images bring employees into the email to further put a face (well, faces) on the company. My only complaint is that nothing on the bottom half of the hero is clickable, which is a missed opportunity (I may be one of few subscribers who read through the whole thing, but there was nowhere for me to go without returning to the top of the message).
