Email content management checklist

An excellent piece from Georgy Cohen for higher ed content strategy website meetcontent.com. If you're involved in regular email communications you should check your activity against her sound advice.

  2. Maintain a content calendar
  3. Draft your content
  4. Create your subject line
  5. Use best practices for images
  6. Craft your calls to action
  7. Determine a consistent schedule
  8. Measurement
