 It's important to check your email before clicking send. For this reason we suggest you create an email checklist, which you can refer to before sending your campaigns.
To help you get this started we've identified a number of questions you should answer before sending your campaign. Each area has further detail. To view this simply follow the "read more" link at the end of each section. You can also print a PDF version of this checklist (40K)
