Home Depot, 1/24 — New Years Resolutions For Your Home
With January drawing to a close, this will probably be one of the last New Year’s emails. This email does a few things well: (1) it optimized for preview panes, with the headline up top and the to-do list functioning as a mini table of contents; (2) It gives you a few entry points into each item; (3) it taps the green trend, which I’ve harped on several times; (4) it includes video, giving people another way to interact with Home Depot; and (5) it includes a project, which gives context to Home Depot’s products and establishes them as an expert and a helpful advice-giver.

 I love Smith-Harmon's enthusiasm. It's so great to have a connection with people who really "get" and get excited by email marketing. (Truly, there are not that many of us out there!) I count myself very lucky to have found such accomplished enthusiasts to collaborate with on the REI program. They are helping to bring amazing opportunities to fruition with panache.
