Content should either be entertaining, emotional, and/or educational.
From a design perspective, we want to keep our EDMs clean, simple, and professional.
Copy must be clear, concise, and cohesive - ideally a maximum of 200 words.
Remember, leaders are busy!
Put yourself in the shoe of the readers and ask yourself: What will I get from this? Does it pique my interest? Is it relevant and engaging?
The objectives of the campaign should be clear and be met your content. What specific actions do you want your readers (MAG Tribe) to take? Add a call-to-action (CTA).
The placement of the CTA button is important too, it must be clear.
