How does email work?
› At first only in English as ASCII text
› Pictures, styles (font styles etc.) and attachments will be transferred into text and back to “readable” email again upon receiving (reading)
› Email is still being read by text-only email services such as one.lt, one.lv, Pine (in Linux) etc.

Email campaign planning
• What is the goal of the campaign?• Which offers/endorsements can be used?• How can we segment the list to send out an
offer that’s relevant?• Can we integrate the campaign with other
marketing channels?• How will we measure the results and how will it
improve the next campaigns?

Strategy
• One-off campaigns bring one-off results
• Think about long term goals – would it make sense to build your own email database?
• Use other channels to collect emails (example: feedback forms in hotels)
• Set concrete goals and measure them!
