Tips & Tricks
1
Keep it educational.
Try not to conduct a sales pitch. Use case studies when applicable.
2
Less is more.
Limit text. Your audience should be focused on you and what you’re saying.
3
Use graphics.
Imagery should add to the conversation, not detract from it.
4
Avoid animations.
They can be a distraction or run the risk of not working live.
5
Prepare.
Make good notes, know your key points and practice.

Dedicated E-mails and HTML Guidelines
If you’ve got a message to get out, a dedicated email to our engaged audience of commercial marine industry professionals may be your answer. But in order to successfully reach your audience, you need to ensure that your email bypasses their spam filters. Follow these 5 tactics to transform your email from spam into a value-add that your prospects will appreciate reading. Note - all dedicated e-mails must be reserved at least three weeks in advance.
1
Catchy subject line.
A subject line is your first, and often only, chance to grab your audience’s attention.
2
Personalization.
Personalizing your email will help garner the reader’s attention while sidestepping spam filters.
3
“Spammy” language.
Be creative with your email copy and avoid the kind of language that you would avoid as a reader.
4
Imagery.
Images should support your message, not be the message.
