Email Marketing Mastery
Everything between deciding to send email and knowing whether it worked: strategy, copy, design, deliverability and the numbers that tell you which of those four is broken.
Most email programmes are not failing for the reason their owner thinks. A campaign with a 12% open rate might have a subject line problem, or it might have a deliverability problem, and those two lead to opposite fixes. Rewriting subject lines when the real issue is a missing DKIM record burns weeks and moves nothing.
This hub is organised so you can work out which layer is actually broken before you start fixing things. Strategy sets what you send and to whom. Copy and design decide whether the message earns a click once it is in front of someone. Deliverability decides whether it gets in front of them at all. Analytics is how you tell those apart.
The order matters more than it looks. Deliverability problems make copy problems invisible, because a message nobody receives cannot be tested. If your open rates fell off a cliff rather than drifting, start with the deliverability guides and come back to copy afterwards.
