It has always been a trend of writing less but writing effective .No matter if you are writing a notice or viewing a Menu Book in a hotel or perhaps making an advertising .
I personally prefer it all the way .Sending newsletters or other announcements are easier if they are less in size otherwise there are always a sign of irritation for the reader .

I agree with that Megan – and those that like it will stay on the list, those that don’t will filter it out or unsubscribe. Which is ultimately what you want anyway.

With the longer emails that I get, I generally just scan thru them. I always seem to be in a hurry when I’m in my inbox LOL. It’s that personal frame of reference that has conditioned me to keep my own emails short when sending something out to my readers…

Hey Randy,

HTML is great for using advanced tracking and split-testing features. It allows you to see stats on CTR (click through rate) etc. Aweber allows you to create two versions of each email message – one HTML and one plain text for those who can’t receive HTML formatted emails. That’s helpful. I actually prefer to send in plain text, so when I create an HTML formatted message I create it so that it still looks like plain text.

I receive some nice HTML formatted emails through lists I’m on – from Staples, for example and some from online marketers. My security settings dont allow the images to show up automatically so I have to go through an extra step to load the images so that those display correctly.

That’s one of the reasons I keep my own emails simple, even if I do use HTML for the tracking & testing features.

Lynn, I prefer short emails too, but sometimes long email newsletters work also very well. Matt Furey for example, writes often long emails and he has a good success with this format. He also mails his list sometimes twice a day. I think you could train your subscribers to a certain format (short or long) and a certain schedule.

Terry, what are your thoughts on HTML vs. TEXT?
