We’re using CM for quite a long time, mind-blowing just like we want our template designs, we want to blow people out of their seats when delivering an email-campaign. We have a lot of tips and tricks ourselves, but every little extra tip would result in pushing boundaries even further.

It will help me, because I have some upcoming projects that require some serious html email styling.
And it scares me.
I am just not comfortable with table layouts, inline styles and other things I have heard you’ll need for html email.
I was thinking of outsourcing those parts, but would love to learn more about it, so I can add html emails to my skill set.

I have several nonprofit, “good works”-type community projects on my plate that would benefit tremendously from more effectively designed emails. “Create Stunning HTML Email That Just Works!” would be a boost in the right direction… and could help turn the corner in the effectiveness of these campaigns. I look forward to reading it whether or not I win the drawing. Thanks for sharing this!
Chris

This book would help me expand HTML email services and break away from the norm of simplistic designs that I rely on to ensure e-mail client compatibility. Client requests for non-text, html-based e-mails are on the rise as it results in a more engaging experience for the recipient and demonstrates increased opportunities for achieving client objectives in their campaign. I also hope it will better teach me how to analyze e-mail campaign results (i.e. opens, click-thrus, etc.).

With Social Media gaining more and more space every day, everyone says email is dead. I don’t believe it, though. At my organization, we send about 3 mil emails a year, and we see t he results coming in every day: website visits increase, sign up for events happen, more people connect with us on Facebook, and our recruiters receive several leads from those blasts. Winning this book would help us create even more stunning emails, and it will help our office reach the full potential, besides being a great resource to justify us to continue our work. Email is not dead!

We do a lot of email marketing here in house. Not enough to be pro’s or even have a dedicated team member that works on email marketing and design. But, just enough to get annoyed with the fact that our pretty web stuff will not work in email. This book would help us step up the email marketing game and learn how to do some of the prettier web instances in email. Also, how to combat against clients that “want it all” in email.

How would Create Stunning HTML Email That Just Works! help you if you win?
Winning this book would help me to build emails that help our students and prospective students reach their dreams.
I work at the University of Minnesota, with a team of marketers to create emails. Our audience consists of working adults, unemployed job seekers, retired learners, and even high school students. We produce email to recruit, to inform, and to inspire. I would use this book to help create more effective email, more compatible email, more stylish email. I have worked to stay current with HTML email best practices, and while I still have much to learn, I think I’ve done OK. A copy of this book would really help me do better.
I work for the University of Minnesota, in the College of Continuing Education. We help adult students achieve their dreams, maintain their skills, and learn more about the world. We host conferences and lectures, offer full undergraduate and graduate level degrees, and do all this on limited budgets.
I would love to win this book. Thanks for the chance to win!

Currently a hybrid designer, I started out in print and crossed over into web – but I am still learning and in our company we create best practices for html emails testing them for each email client and cross browser, there are so many rules to adhere to. I think this would help me up my skill set and be more helpful to carry more of the web production load at my work and expand my marketability as a designer. As well as understanding more about email design and layout.
Glupus
November 24th, 2010
This book would be an excellent addition to our department library as we are looking to moving heavily into the email marketing realm and have some very inexperienced, when it comes to the web, old school marketers on our team that would benefit greatly from such a resource.
Ed Perez

I think this would be a great resource while I’m “on the road”! I fly a LOT back and forth from Venezuela to NYC (Sometimes 10 hours w/stops) and I try to build websites in the meantime but I’m not always able to
connect to a wireless network for references… You know the kind of questions that you may already know the answer (or may not) but you just forgot for a moment and nobody at the airport can help you =P Something like: “Excuse me sir, what was the code to align a tag to the center of the webpage?” hehe

To answer the question: such a book would definitely help me fulfill a professional need to produce content-rich, well-designed e-mails that actually work as intended when the recipient reads them. There is more involved than simply pasting RTF into an e-mail program and pressing the “send” button.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Well, to not sound like a muppet, I am crap at HTML emails. It’s like coding a web page for 1995. We have been so influenced by good practices in regards to web design and coding that for many of us, HTML emails are a nightmare. So this would help me because, basically I haven’t a clue. I’ve been coding for many years now and for the last four or so, it’s all been about clean semantic and CSS layouts.

“HTML email that just works” will provide a platform that will help force my company to acknowledge email non standardization. They simply have no clue, and the web isn’t really a good place to direct senior “non-designer/developers” to read more about what email can and can’t do.
James
November 24th, 2010

I regularly create HTML emails for the company I work for, and it’s never something I look forward to! I’m currently limited to using a dated, custom CMS with an ancient version of FCKeditor to create them – a nightmare! I’ve been meaning to learn much more about creating good HTML emails, and plan to discuss the advantages of moving us over to Campaign Monitor once I know more. I’d love to win a copy of this book, to aid my own development and move my company forward.

Web design is quickly becoming (has become?) a commodity. Selling a website package based on price tends to attract low quality customers. I am looking to revamp my service and sell based on the value that I am providing to the customer. By providing a complete solution (design + email marketing) I can offer value to customers by demonstrating how email marketing has the best ROI of any marketing activity. There is no better way to get repeat business. I would love this book to help steer me in the right direction.

I hate e-mail marketing and creating html newsletters.

It would help me immensely as I currently maintain a website that sends an HTML newsletter to 23,800+ (and counting) subscribers each month. Every time I send out one, I feel so dirty after coding all those font tags and table td widths and background colors. (Perhaps there is a better way?) It might also help me (and convince me to) test on several email clients. Right now I usually just test on Yahoo! and Gmail among other web-based clients.
I would also like to know how I could have done better job at a past project that blasted a daily newsletter to subscribers using mainly Lotus Notes. That was just plain nightmare!
