*NOTE: Due to user privacy features in Apple’s iOS 15 launch, open rates for email newsletters have become inflated and are no longer reliable as an email marketing key performance indicator. While Petfood Industry will still provide “opens” in campaign reports, marketers should now treat the KPI as a directional metric rather than an exact measure. For more information, here is a document that explains impact of iOS 15 on performance-based email KPIs.

Custom Email Campaign Specifications

Petfood Industry email campaign materials should be submitted in finished HTML format.

The following criteria must be met to be considered as finished HTML format:

  • The HTML file must be submitted as an attachment with an .html extension.
  • The styles within the HTML must be applied as basic HTML
    in-line styles ; note that paragraph tags are not supported by
    Outlook, so use table formatting
  • Internal CSS style sheets are not universally rendered by email
    providers.
  • Our mailer system does not allow for use of CSS styles.
  • Any images not being hosted externally must be provided
    separately in an attached zip folder.
If completed HTML cannot be provided, we are able to create a basic HTML design. Creating finished HTML email campaign material will add additional fees to the cost of the send. We have standard guidelines to follow for creating the email design.

The following must be supplied before the basic HTML design can begin:

  • Header banner – approximately 600w x 200h pixels in .gif or .jpg web format.
  • Body of text – must be supplied in a selectable format.
  • Additional images – 2-3 small images may be supplied in .gif or .jpg web format to be included.

For multiple sends of a single email campaign, the following must be provided:

  • A few slight revisions to the body copy to avoid being labeled as spam.
  • An updated subject line for each email send.

Here are list of best practices to consider when preparing an eblast campaign:

  • Utilize a strong call to action within the subject line to entice a subscriber to open the email
  • Place significant text within the top 400 pixels of the layout and ensure that it is compelling enough to stand alone without the images
  • Tailor the message specifically to your audience
  • Limit the amount of imagery being used in the design
  • A 75% text to 25% image ratio is highly recommended
  • Many e-mail providers do not allow automatic image downloads
  • Lower image ratios help HTML emails avoid spam filters
