The Wrong Email Format Can Destroy Your Offer
by: Rich Hamilton, Jr
Which email format is more effective to use, Text or HTML?
A good question, many experts have been debating over for awhile now, is
which email format is more effective. It all depends on who you ask, many
people prefer the text format over the HTML format. There are also many
people who would rather use HTML over the text format. You can pretty much
draw a line right down the middle between the text users and the HTML users,
it's that close.
The truth of the matter is that the most effective format to use for your
email really depends on the offer you're presenting.
Both text and HTML email formats have their advantages and disadvantages.
In this article I am going to go over the advantages and disadvantages of
text and HTML email formats. Let's jump right in and start with the format
text.
Text
Obviously the real advantage to using a text format is that you have a
white background with black font making it very easy to read. The text
format loads fast, no matter what size the email is.
If the email loads fast and is easy to read how can text formats have a
disadvantage?
Easy!
The real disadvantage of using text format is when you are using email as
a source of marketing. To effectively use email marketing you need to use
some sort of tracking software. Without tracking you will never know if the
subject line and/or email offer needs work.
The point I am trying to make is that people are very cautious about
clicking on tracking and affiliate links. As soon as they see a lengthy url,
they get the impression that you are trying to sell them something and
immediately delete the email. With a text formatted email you cannot hide
long tracking urls from the recipient. With an HTML format you won't run
into this problem, which brings us to...
HTML
The biggest advantage of using HTML is that you can hide your tracking
urls from the viewer. Instead of having a long url in your email offer, you
can use a simple "click here". Not only can you hide your tracking url, but
you can also mask it from appearing in the browser window.
Moreover, HTML has a lot of disadvantages. For instance, some people
can't view HTML email, while others can view it with a limited amount of
space. HTML email files can be sizable and take up a lot of space. Most
people who use HTML formatted email use a lot of images and other graphics
to make their email have a professional appearence. But they don't stop and
think about the size of the email that they are sending, and whether or not
their recipients may have limited space.
Sending large email files is a sure way to get your recipients upset. You
don't want to strike out before you have the chance to swing!
You can see that both email formats have their advantages, as well as
their disadvantages. As for which format is the right one for you, it all
depends on your offer.
If you are sending an email offer that doesn't require any lengthy
tracking urls or has no affiliate urls, then text should be your format of
choice.
Moreover, if you do have tracking or affiliate urls in your email offer,
then HTML is the way to go. When using an HTML format be conservative, not
everyone has broadband, you'll find that a lot of people are still using
28.8k modems for their Internet connection.
When sending out an HTML email offer it should have a solid white
background with black text, and absolutely no images or graphics. This way
the email offer appears to be text and loads fast, when it's actually HTML.
Your viewer won't be able to see your long tracking or affiliate url which
will increase your click through ratio and that means more sales.
Most autoresponders and email softwares have the ability to send email in
both formats, but not all of them. There are still some that don't.
