August 2013 NEWSLETTER 
A smarter way to use lists and segments

Sending to List A, but don't want to contact anyone on List B? Now that you can exclude lists and segments, it's easier than ever to send more targeted campaigns.

Sounds good? We're glad we didn't exclude you from this newsletter, then!

Panic! It's CSS3 animation and web fonts in email

Just as you were starting to think that CSS 3 was off-limits, along comes Panic with an email campaign packed with curiosities. From SVG masks to animated images, here are the techniques that mesmirize in modern clients... But also degrade gracefully in others.


HTML 5 in email: Current conditions and caveats

Is it too soon to be using <audio>, <video> and <canvas> in email campaigns? We tested these HTML 5 elements in the most popular email clients to bring you our verdict on whether the inbox is ready for dynamic images and streaming media - view our latest results.


Add your Instagram happy snaps to campaigns

If you're into posting heavily-filtered pictures of your #favoritethings, then you've likely flirted with the idea of also sharing them via email. It can be done - using RSS-to-email and Instagram, you can automatically import photos by account and #hashtag.


Single vs. double opt-in lists: The pros and cons

With research showing that 61% of senders use single opt-in lists, a line has been drawn in the sand. Should we be using double opt-in to protect our lists, or is confirmation an unnecessary hurdle? We'd love to hear from you - is single, or double the way to go?


Invoice clients in Freshbooks, Xero and Harvest with imera

Good news for our agency friends who toggle between Campaign Monitor and their billing app to manage client charges - it's now easy to convert sent campaigns into invoices with imera, a simple app for email marketers. It's free while in beta, so do the math and check it out.
