Create Transactional Emails


When the US Federal Anti-Spam Legislation came out in 2003 they defined "transactional emails" very differently from "commercial emails". Transactional emails come in many shapes and forms and could be a very nice form of business for you, in many cases some of your best performing email.

Here are examples of transactional email:
  • Thank you emails after someone purchases from you.
  • Shipping notification of a product you sold.
  • Your confirmation email when a visitor signs up for your site.
  • Information about your customers rewards or points programs.
  • Your Privacy Policy changes.
  • Product feature changes or releases.
  • Warranty information, product recall information or safety or security information from a product or service you sell.
  • Any account balance...
