The Ultimate Pre-Deployment Email Checklist

Brands rely on email to constantly achieve increases in brand affinity, subscriber engagement and especially conversion. It’s only fitting that an audience-facing piece of communication be thoroughly reviewed prior to sending. That’s where our Ultimate Pre-Deployment Email Checklist comes in.

Here’s a scenario that might sound familiar to email marketers everywhere.

Picture This…

You’ve worked for days (perhaps even weeks) to create and finalize what you believe to be the perfect email. It’s in the queue for deployment and should be going out shortly. Within minutes (let’s be honest, seconds) after launching, you notice the mistake that slipped through the cracks.

Maybe you forgot to optimize for mobile. Maybe it doesn’t render on all email clients and devices. Calls-to-action (CTAs) are inaccessible, or you forgot to include alt text on one or more images. Any way you slice it, your subscribers are now having an odd, possibly unpleasant, experience with your brand’s email.

The sinking feeling sets in that whatever the mistake was could very well impact your brand’s reputation, ROI, or even your future deliverability rate. Ouch.

Alleviate Post-Send Panic

There is so much uncertainty and anxiety when it comes to sending an email. While Email on Acid’s tools mitigate the stress that comes with email content checking, there are additional steps you can take before pressing “send” to ensure you’re not forgetting anything in your QA process.

May we introduce, the Ultimate Pre-Deployment Email Checklist with Email on Acid’s stamp-of-approval. You can download, print or simply reference this checklist before every email you send as an extra safety net for your email marketing. Even our very own team uses this, because we’re human and not immune to mistakes either.
