The Silent Saboteur of Your Campaign Metrics It is easy to forget how fragile email design can be. You spend hours creating a pixel-perfect layout, testing colours, and aligning every call to action.
Then your carefully crafted visuals vanish, blocked by a security setting, a privacy filter, or a cautious IT department. That is the reality of email image blocking, a quiet but persistent challenge that marketers often underestimate. At its simplest, it means the recipient’s email client does not display images automatically, which can distort how your message appears and how your performance is measured.

Email marketing still punches above its weight when it comes to conversions and customer retention. But if your emails aren’t reaching inboxes, none of that matters. One of the most overlooked steps in launching a successful campaign, especially from a new domain or IP address, is warming up your IP. It’s not just about sending. It’s about sending smart.

A behind-the-scenes look at tone of voice, brand risk and why the cat probably shouldn’t be allowed near the send button It started with a conversation about tone of voice and a question I’ve been asked often over the years:
“Who should write the newsletter?” For small businesses and personal brands, the answer is usually “the founder”. For larger companies, it’s often the most charismatic voice on the team, the one that audiences naturally gravitate toward. Neither is wrong. But leaning too heavily into a single person’s voice can shift the brand tone entirely. And while this might help with reach or resonance in the short term, it poses challenges in the long run. What happens when that person moves on? If they were ghostwritten, can the tone continue seamlessly? If they weren’t, can the marketing stand without them? Are your readers attached to the content, or just to the character? |
