One of the most important points on writing a marketing email is to maintain the focus of the message. Keep in mind that yours is not the only e-mail that the recipient will receive. There’s a great chance that the recipient will be getting dozens of e-mails from different advertisers. Your recipient maybe subscribed to different marketers and if your message is poorly written, then it will not grab attention.
