MOBILE
---------------------
Initially email newsletters were unreadable on
mobile devices. Starting from scratch, they
rebuilt everything and the strategy paid off:
Now more than 80% of BuzzFeed readers are
accessing content from their phones.
TRAFFIC
---------------------
Email traffic emerged as one of the top five
referrers for the BuzzFeed website. While
they accumulated over 1 million email
subscribers in 2014 alone, they expect 2015 to
be far higher.
LOVE YOUR USERS
---------------------
People are protective over their in-boxes. Put
as much effort into your newsletter strategy
as you do designing your home page or
creating new business cards.
EXCELLENCE
---------------------
Focus on GREAT, not good content. It may be
the most important business decision you
ever make.
