We broke-up the eNewsletter into 3 simple sections – so that it’s not overwhelming to the reader. The first section is a personal note from Chrissy, the second portion is an article on planning your vacation – in other words the article that is interesting and informative - and the third section is her call to action in which she asks her readers to use her website to book their next travel. She had over 20% click the link – all because the entire eNewsletter was focused and not overwhelming and ended with a call to action. http://blazeinteractive.com/clients/chrissy/newsletter/jun08_02.html
