Hi there,

a couple of quick questions for users that used SES and MailChimp:

1. where did you get better result in landing in inbox? with SES or MailChimp?
- HTML emails.
- approx. 9 images - 24 links. 50% text ratio.
- at: gmail, yahoo, hotmail, aol and comcast.

2. do you know/use a desktop/online software with support in SES that have a feature of nice, fast, email designer builder like MailChimp have?


thank you
Matan

    It's likely doesn't matter what email service you will be using.

    With 9 images and 24 links your emails is likely to be tagged as spam no matter where they come from.

    5-6 years ago you could send emails in that format and do fine, but today it is pretty much impossible.

      so how now days you can send e-commerce newsletter, promoting a 9 products?

      - each product have a photo, each product have a button "shop now".. hmm.. removing the buttons? removing the links from the photos?

        You don't.

        Nowadays, spam filters are very strict and with so many images and links the email will be seen for what it is, promotion email. So those emails either will end up in promotion tab in gmail or spam folder in other providers.

        I know its not what you want, but it is what it is.

        The way around it, it to simply keep email as an email.

        Use it to have a personalized message to your subs to create an interest and desire in your products.
        Then when they already interested provide a link at the end of email to a web page where they can go and see your products with all the images, demonstrations and buy buttons.
