I am not new to affiliate marketing but I am to doing it via email. I have built my list and now im ready to start using it? What email services allow you to use html? I have tried inserting the code into gmail, but when i send it all you see is the code and not the output you should. Any help?
The best thing to do is doing a newsletter with both of the HTML and non-HTML crowd around. Unfortunately, there's no way to figure out and serve the HTML/non-HTML e-mail version according to the user preferences, unless asked before when subscribing. Then again, that's not very efficient.
In my experience TEXT only creatives convert much better than HTML creatives. If you can write the right creative it will definitely convert much better. At least in my personal opinion and experience. I could give you some quick tips on writing an effective TEXT only creative. Just send me a PM. I'd love to help!
