This Week:

* Custom Printed Clothing and Products – https://www.customshirtsandmore.co.uk* I made an error with my Airtable automation – https://airtable.com* Google’s Airtable replacement – https://tables.area120.google.com/about* Education – Learning GSAP – animation for websites – https://greensock.com/gsap/* Using animation in moderation to enhance* Increase your chances of getting emails opened* Tip: Include the name of the person you are writing to in the subject title* Tip: Make your preview text count* Tip: Have the important information “above the fold”* Tip: Use images in your email if the subject requires them* Tip: Don’t “attach” images, host them elsewhere and link to display them* Tip: Make the link specific so you can “update” that image whenever the information changes. All previous emails will also show the new information if they are reopened.* Tip: If you have a video, take a screenshot of the player, so it has a play button on it. Use this image in your email and link it to the video, or a page that has the video embedded, so when people click on it, they will be taken to the page to watch the video.* Tip: Don’t attach pdf files, put links to the pdf and you can update the file whenever you need to, just make sure the filename doesn’t change. All old emails will link to the latest version of the file.* Tip: Signatures are important – add links to your social media and website. Add your email address in case your emails are shared or printed which could lose your email from the header.
