Should You Take an Email Test Before You Send?

Always test your email messages BEFORE you hit that send button.  Here are 6 areas to check:

  1. Appearance – Colors, graphics and formatting.
  2. Subject Line – Verify spelling, check for Spammy words.
  3. Links – Validate internal and external links. Do they go to the correct URL?
  4. Readability – Review spelling and grammar.  Consider the reading level of your audience.
  5. Content – Is your content interesting, relevant and factual?
  6. Correctness – Confirm your dynamic content elements, such as fill-ins from actual records.

In conclusion, always test your messages. Your newsletters represent you and the impression you make may be the difference between a loyal subscriber or a quick unsubscribe.

“As a customer for the past (several)  years, not only has Dundee Internet Services hosted our website with email services, they have saved us considerable money in the process.”     James  W.,  AK BSS

How Our Message Pricing Works

  1. Included Monthly Messages
    Each plan comes with a certain number of included messages at a standard size (up to 40K per email).
  2. Overage Rate
    After you’ve sent all your included messages, each additional 1,000 emails costs $0.90.
  3. What If an Email Is Larger Than 40K?
    • We measure every extra 1K of data beyond 40K as an extra fraction of a message.
    • Example: A 50K email counts as 1.25 messages (because 50K is 1.25 × 40K).
    • This prevents rounding up to a full extra 40K block when you only need 10K more.
  4. Covered by Your Monthly Fee
    • All administrative and automated list messages (welcome emails, unsubscribe confirmations, surveys, etc.)
    • Access to features like archives, refer-a-friend, click/open tracking, feedback loops, and more.
