Email campaigns—sometimes called email blasts, newsletters, or “carefully targeted digital carrier pigeons”—are very much part of the digital advertising constellation. For large-scale outreach I use MailChimp, working within its templates while taking full responsibility for the parts humans can actually perceive: product photography, typography, layout, and color harmony. And because no one enjoys being spammed (including our future customers), I deploy these campaigns sparingly and intentionally. Below are four recent examples from the past two years.
