Best Practices

1. Personalization - Use recipient name, purchase history
2. Timing - Send during business hours (9-11 AM, 2-4 PM)
3. Frequency - Don't spam (1-2 emails/week max)
4. Mobile optimization - Keep subject < 40 chars
5. Clear CTA - One primary action per email
6. Unsubscribe - Always include unsubscribe link
7. Compliance - Follow anti-spam laws (CAN-SPAM, GDPR)

Compliance

• Include physical mailing address
• Provide clear unsubscribe option
• Honor unsubscribe within 10 days
• Don't use deceptive subject lines
• Keep records of consent

Troubleshooting

• Low open rates: Test different subject lines, send times
• High bounce rate: Clean email list, verify addresses
• Spam complaints: Review content, reduce frequency
• Low click rate: Improve CTA, make links prominent
