Using a custom built template for your email campaigns has many benefits.  For a start, it reduces the creative building time process, and makes it possible for those without HTML knowledge and the necessary design skills to use a professional looking email template without having to know how to write HTML code.  Following on from that, optimal HTML code can mean the difference between inbox delivery success or  junk folder failure.  So why not use a custom built email template that has already been tested for optimal HTML structure?

Consistency is key. Using a custom email template will give your emails a familiar look and feel each time you send, helping your customers instantly recognise your brand. Using a custom built template for your company and brand is a great way to direct traffic straight to your website.  By providing links to key landing pages, you are making your products and services easily accessible to your recipients, as well as directing your customer to exactly where you want them go to.

In short, custom built email template designs at a minimum help improve delivery, promote brand exposure and increase traffic to your specific landing pages.  So, are you using a custom email template for your email marketing campaigns?

According to Econsultancy’s 2010 Annual Email Census, most companies still believe they receive a good return on investment from their email marketing.

The census revealed that the most valuable marketing tactic invested by companies online is search engine optimization, although closely followed by email marketing at 75%.

The report discovered that 11% of companies allocated at least £100,000 to their yearly email marketing budget. There was also a 5% increase in the amount of companies that found that investments in email marketing returned at a rate greater than 500%.

And yet only 4% of companies claimed that their returns on investment for email marketing were insignificant.

Hotmail are experiencing problems with their servers this afternoon which is causing a backlog of emails waiting to be sent to those addresses.    This problem is at the Hotmail end and is affecting many ISPs and mail providers globally.

Please rest assured that any mail to Hotmail addresses will be queued and delivered once the Hotmail servers are again accepting connections.

Update 18/03/10 16:45 GMT - Hotmail servers are now accepting connections once again and the mail backlog is starting to move.   We should expect delivery to be slightly slower than usual as the Hotmail servers try to catch up, but rest assured your mail will be queued and delivered over the coming hours.

Update 19/03/10 08:17 GMT - Hotmail service is now fully back to normal and all of our queues to Hotmail are clear.   You should see no delays in your email being delivered to these addresses.

We are now pleased to announce that the problem we were experiencing yesterday afternoon in generating screenshots of your email campaigns has been resolved.

We're currently experiencing some delays displaying screenshot previews of your email campaigns in the reports area.   We are working with our screenshot provider to try and get this resolved as soon as possible.

When creating your email campaigns you want to do everything you can to ensure that your mail reaches your recipient's inbox.  Whilst most spam filters keep tight lipped about what would cause a message to be marked as spam, Microsoft has released a short guide of things to avoid getting caught in the Outlook junk filter.

You'll find the guide here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA010450051033.aspx

Most points there are fairly obvious and would never be used by legitimate mailers, but a couple there may catch people out who use a term in a legitimate way.

The guide is not a complete list and there are many other factors that could still cause your email to get blocked.   It should also be noted that this guide is for the filter built into the Outlook client only.

Here at Suite26 we always advise you to test your email campaigns as much as possible in as many different email clients before sending.   It's easy to register a Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail account and just send a preview message to those accounts, but we would also recommend using an email testing service such as LitmusApp which will test your email in a number of different email clients and against lots of different spam filters.
