by Justin Premick on April 2nd, 2008
After ripping apart some poor email examples, I think it’s high time we point out someone who’s doing an email newsletter right.
I’ve been getting emails from travel planning site Kayak.com for a couple weeks. In each issue I’m impressed by their email savvy, from content to design to the little extras that make me so likely to use them to plan my trips.
