AM Inbox: Quick additions in the preheader space
The Retail Email Blog monitors the email marketing campaigns of more than 100 top online retailers. Here are highlights from my inbox this morning:
Art.com, 7/22 — Choose your reward + Trend Alert!
In this email, Art.com uses their preheader text to slip in an announcement about their home decor expert being on The Today Show on Monday. This is a quick alternative to creating a banner to promote the appearance and a novel way of using the preheader space.
Bass Pro Shops, 7/22 — Big Savings with Fishing Clearance at Basspro.com
Bass Pro Shops announces the launch of an online forum, Outdoor Answers, where you can ask and answer questions about fishing, hunting, camping and other areas that Bass Pro serves. I clicked through on a couple of topics and there weren’t any questions or answers yet. Bass Pro probably should have spent a little time seeding the discussion boards with some material to get things rolling.
Orvis, 7/22 — 3 great reasons to use your Orvis Rewards Visa today.
This is one of the best credit card pitching emails that I’ve seen. It very succinctly lays out the reasons to use your card, tells you how to get one, and the icing is that they include four products that you can use your points on. That last element is what I haven’t seen in past credit card pitches.

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.
