“If you write an email like a human being would write an email, you're going to get a better response.”

I realize quoting a political organization of any kind is just asking for an incendiary response in today's political environment, but bear with me on this one.


Partisan or not, they have a very sophisticated email marketing department, especially for a non profit. And Ward's approach to email testing and messaging is critical for any organization to study and learn from.
