1: Love at first sight

The subject line generates attention and shows at a glance what the reader can expect. The text should be short, humorous and appealing to the reader.

2: And every day the marmot greets you

Humans are creatures of habit. Use that and send your newsletter regularly and always at the same time.

3: Know your audience

The Human Centered Design approach also applies to the newsletter – so create added value for your readers. Ask yourself questions like: Who are they? What do they want to read?

4: Role model function

Think about which newsletters have made you laugh – or cry – lately. So get inspiration from people who do their thing well or badly.

5: The eye reads with

Use specific pictures and pay attention to enough whitespace – that means “air to breathe”. This makes your newsletter visually more appealing.

6: Mobile first

Newsletters are often read on the go – so they have to look good and be easy to read, especially on smartphones.

7: No-Go

Mistakes are an absolute no-go! Read your newsletter once too often, because spelling mistakes are embarrassing.
