> Email creative should be no wider than 700 pixels
> Flash should not be used within an email template
> 69% B2B email recipients are using preview panes, therefore featured content should also appear 'above-the-fold'
> Ten words not to use in a subject line: 100% free, amazing, buy, discount, hello, free, get, only, now only, winner
> Alt tagging your images confirm to W3C html 4.01 specs and increases deliverability
