Different platforms (i.e. Mac, PC) can display them differently. I definitely agree that testing the way your emails look is important.

I guess testing is truly key, but thanks for giving me more to think about, as far as, all of the things I need to test for are, in fact, tested.

]]> Comment on Does stock photography help…or hurt? by Bob Williams http://blog.subscribermail.com/2012/03/14/does-stock-photography-help-or-hurt/comment-page-1/#comment-130112 Bob Williams Mon, 26 Mar 2012 11:27:26 +0000 http://blog.subscribermail.com/?p=3046#comment-130112 I'm not a big a fan of stock photos with people. I always ask myself "who are these people? If I were to buy from this company are they the people that would work with me?" If you choose to show people as the image subject why not use the actual people that deliver your products and services? In the comment above mine, Drayton Bird says people like "genuine" and I agree. Let's see the actual people that do the work. In the image caption list a quick profile blurb of who the person is and how they produce services for the customer. I’m not a big a fan of stock photos with people.

]]> Comment on Reading between the lines of QR codes by Jared Kimball http://blog.subscribermail.com/2011/08/02/reading-between-the-lines-of-qr-codes/comment-page-1/#comment-68085 Jared Kimball Fri, 05 Aug 2011 21:22:28 +0000 http://blog.subscribermail.com/?p=2848#comment-68085 I did work for a company last year that went QR code crazy, but they didn't fully utilize it in my opinion. All they did was intrigue people to scan the code and then it would take them to their normal membership sign up page. Nothing spectacular, not mobile friendly, nothing really stood out, and sign ups were dismal. I couldn't agree with you more, marketers need to test their efforts and see how the user would interpret their efforts. But sometimes marketers forget to follow through and get enticed by the latest fads and trends like their new toys.
