Optimize an unread marketing email in your inbox.
Go into your email inbox, find a marketing email that remains unread, and figure out a way the sender could have done it better. Put yourself in the shoes of that business.
How could the sender have tested or changed the email to catch the eyes and attention of you, the recipient?
Consider all the elements that comprise an email newsletter, from send time and the "from" address to the subject line and content. This is a valuable exercise because it emphasizes that the audience for your emails is likely a lot like you. Your audience is full of people!
By looking at the promotional email that you receive, and thinking about what it takes to engage someone like you, you'll gain insight into how to better engage with your own email marketing audience.
