There’s a lot more to consider about pop-up designs and strategy, but it all comes back to serving the end-user. One of our mantras at RGE is to build relationships, not lists. We chatted with Olivia Stapp, Customer Success Strategy Manager at Justuno, about some really good pop-up strategies. When thinking about why you want people to give you their information, thinking in this context should guide you better than anything else.
Do you map out every single step of a trip right down to the rest stops, or are you up for randomly stopping off at a local diner for some good and greasy food to pull an all-night drive? (Yeah, us too.) While emails should be more planned out than late-night road trip stops, you can easily customize your message by pulling in dynamic content. Andy McCutcheon, email marketing manager at Vacasa, walks us through some customized email templates with built-in styles, classes, and our favorite: live text.
If an email is sent and no one added alt text, does it reach the inbox? Descriptive alt text is just one thing to keep in mind to serve up accessible emails. We talk mixtapes and Macintosh with Avi Goldman, founder of Parcel and curator of Email Resources, putting these e-commerce emails to the accessibility test in Parcel’s interface.
When your newsletter isn't a top priority for your business, does that mean it isn't worth having one at all? We chatted with Aysha Marie Zouain, a senior email consultant specializing in Salesforce Marketing Cloud at Deloitte Digital, about why it's good to revisit older email strategies from time to time. Just like the housing market, a little remodeling can do wonders for your entire property value (even if all you remodel is your front door).
This week, we're diving into some entertainment emails from Disney+. Should you use side-by-side CTA buttons? GIFs in the header? What about a 50-year-old who’s a former Jedi youngling? Email marketing is a complicated profession. Disney+ simplifies how they promote their streaming services by highlighting titles to watch and balancing live text with images.
Do you remember your first letter? Maybe you found a pen pal across the world. Or you just got a letter from some guy in a green striped shirt with a bowl cut and wondered who it was from.

Customer retention and relationships are crucial for any business selling products or services. The best way to grow repeat customers is by creating really good retention emails, encouraging customers to come back and use your product again. In this episode, we dive into how Venmo builds loyalty by incentivizing customers and how you can apply this to your retention strategy.
What subscriber data should you include when sending personalized fitness emails? Remind your subscribers of their goals, like running 5 miles or drinking 8 glasses of water a day. Show their progress and how they measure up with the community by pulling data like calories burned, hours of sleep, and exercise activity. Personalized emails can inspire your audience to continue working toward their goals.
Email is the best way to talk one-on-one with anyone in the world. Well, maybe second to carrier pigeons and owls. As you grow the numbers of those you talk with, there will ultimately be more people who care about what you have to say. We sat down with Chase Dimond to chat about how email can be so much more than just a communication medium - it's your marketing platform.
What opportunities are there when sending survey emails? We sit down with the survey pro behind Would You Rather to look at the impact of the first question, the buttons, and ways to increase your participation and completion rates. The low friction action of making the selection in the email sets folks up to be more willing to make their first choice and, having already made their first choice, complete the rest of the survey.
