Do you send out an e-newsletter? If so, here’s the second half of MarketingSherpa‘s “Dirty Dozen: Email Newsletter Mistakes Nearly Everyone Makes.”

7. Deliverability, content, formatting and lack of self-advocacy. If anything, deliverability is even a bigger issue than it was two years ago.

8. Designing images that appear as red Xs. Getting HTML images to appear for those who have images turned off still requires that they turn the images on. It’s the text vs. HTML debate.

10. Repeating ad types. Banner blindness in email newsletters is more prevalent than ever.

11. Collecting bad response rates. You need good analysis to determine the effectiveness of your email. That’s always been the case.
