Relevance is Rewarded: The Priority Inbox in Gmail14.09.2010
Who has never suffered from a clogged-up email inbox? Not for much longer; email service providers such as Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo are now helping users to tidy up their inboxes. Important emails can be filtered out from the vast quantity of post received and displayed to the reader at the top of their inbox. Messages that are less important are listed further down, and in the process the reader pays less attention to them. Is your newsletter relevant enough to overcome this new challenge? Learn more about the new prioritising processes in Gmail and ensure that your newsletter is placed at the top.

The email has proven to be one of the most important digital communication media

aims to confer the legal certainty associated with 'snail mail' onto electronic letters. Read more about the introduction of legally binding email in Germany in the current CEO blog article by Martin Bucher.

In the mobile environment in particular, this pre-header content provides an important incentive to open an email. In his CEO blog, Martin Bucher will fill you in on how you can use this content to your advantage.

However, many mailings are not being correctly displayed, which can sometimes severely restrict readability. The marketing effect goes to waste. For us marketers, this is reason enough to tackle this issue.
