CUST OM e BL AST SP E C I F I C AT I O N S & B E S T P R A C T I C E S
Advertisers should provide broadcast-ready HTML, a subject line, (If A/B subject testing was purchased, please supply 2 subject lines) and a
preheader. If you prefer, we will build your html (a $150 setup fee applies) from a variety of document types.
1. PROVIDING BROADCAST-READY HTML: Emails are not like print advertising,
or even like website advertising/design. Be sure your email has a clear call to
action. Email software, Internet Service Providers and various anti-spam filters have
made even legitimate email broadcasting a challenge. We check and optimize HTML
for viewing in Microsoft Outlook; web-based email programs have many different
standards and therefore we cannot guarantee HTML will be viewed correctly on
web-based email. The following points are designed to help you get your message
delivered and read:
• All-image emails trigger spam filters. Body copy MUST be html text. HTML should
be at least 50% text-based/50% image-based.
• Total width of HTML display should be 600 pixels or less.
• You have only a few seconds to grab the recipient’s attention - don’t waste it with
large images that take too long to load. File size for complete mailing (including
images) must be less than 1MB. Preferred total file size is under 100KB (to load
within 3.2 seconds on a 256 Kbps DSL line and have a better chance of being
read).
• Please designate a single individual to receive and approve test emails. Your
broadcast cannot proceed without a signoff from this individual.
• To comply with U.S. CANSPAM regulations, we require a valid physical postal
address of the advertiser. Please provide address when sending materials to avoid
delays.
• CSS style tags are permitted, if embedded within the email (cannot LINK or
IMPORT a stylesheet). Do NOT use CSS for absolute positioning.
• Because some email browsers (especially web-based) remove the <HEAD></
HEAD> section of html, CSS should be embedded (in-line) with each tag or, as a
work-around, the <style></style> section can be moved to the very top of the
<BODY></BODY> section.
3. PREHEADER: A preheader is the text following the subject line when an email
is previewed before opening it. It is mainly used as a call to action to help grab a
reader’s attention on a mobile device, the new Gmail layout, and in Outlook (with
certain notification settings).
• Preheader should be 85 characters or less.
• Use the preheader to compliment the subject line. It’s another opportunity to
entice the viewer to open the email. It is commonly used as a short summary or
an opportunity to flag the message type (i.e. “Account Notice” or “Status Alert”).
4. PROVIDING ALTERNATE FORMATS FOR CONVERSION: If you prefer, we will build
your HTML for you (a $150 setup fee applies) from a wide variety of document types.
You will need to provide the text, images and basic layout instructions.
Acceptable formats:
• Microsoft Word (.doc) documents, including embedded images and colors
• PowerPoint (.ppt) slides
• Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (.pdf)
• Adobe Photoshop format (.psd)
• Non-compliant HTML (HTML that violates any of the “Broadcast-Ready”
specifications above)
Acceptable image formats:
• .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .tiff, .eps, .psd, .png
Conversion limitations:
• Do not use FORM or SCRIPT tags.
• Limit use of special fonts. If you have to use a particular typeface, that text must
be converted to an image, which will increase the email’s download time.
• If images are hosted on your web servers, use absolute URLs in the image tages
(e.g., <IMG SRC=”http://www.website.com/images/image3.gif”>). Be aware that
a large email broadcast can result in a concentrated heavy load on your server.
• Keep layouts simple. Complicated designs may be difficult or impossible to
attain within the limits of email compliant html. Your headlines/text may break
unpredictably or not align as you expected.
• If we host your images (there is no extra charge) use relative URLs as
placeholders (e.g., <IMG SRC=”image3.gif”>). Please send a ZIP file with all
images, HTML, and TXT files in a single directory.
• Provide complete instructions. Please specify all colors that you want for
headlines, text, backgrounds, borders, etc., and important positioning information.
• Use only .gif and .jpg formats — no .bmp, .png or flash files.
• All emails are broadcast with an OPT-OUT MESSAGE and link. We append this to
your email, so do not include any op-out links within your email. Our opt-out will
appear at the bottom, centered under your email.
• Text-only versions may be used.
• We support styles as in-line styles.
• Questex reserves the right to edit images and HTML to fit within accepted best
practices in email marketing.
• Provide a plain text file of the email (don’t forget to include any text that might
be contained in your images). We broadcast multipart alternative format emails,
which include an html version and a text version of your message; recipients who
can view html see the graphic version and all others see the plain text version.
2. SUBJECT LINE: A good subject line should be short, descriptive and entice a
reader to explore your message further.
• Please test all links beforehand, to avoid production delays.
• Please designate a single individual to receive and approve test emails. Your
broadcast cannot proceed without a signoff from this individual.
5. THE FOLLOWING ARE ADVISED AGAINST:
• Linked CSS
• Any scripting
• URLs that are IP numeric addresses
• Any images other than .jpg or .gif
• Flash or other rich media to be embedded in the e-mail
• Absolute positioning definitions in CSS
• Nested tables
• Color specs that may hinder readability
• Subject line should be 50 characters or less. It should start with an action verb
such as learn, download, etc.
• Please be mindful to stay away from overused, spam triggering words: Free, Help,
Offer, Percent off, Reminder, Guaranteed and punctuation marks such as “!” and
“?” should be avoided.
12.15.14_01
• Providing localization, such as including a city name, can assist in achieving
higher open rates.
