• We’ll be sending out a survey after each HUG meeting to
get your feedback.
• If you have a job opening you’d like to share with the
HubSpot User Group, there’s a place on the HUG site for you
to share the information. We’ll send an email out to the
whole HUG list.

7. HUG is GROWING
We’ve had record numbers of RSVPs for the last few meetings!
Hooray!
In order for us to plan accurately and make sure we have
enough space, we’re going to start sending an email when
RSVPs have filled up for the month. If your plans change and
you’re unable to join us, please let us know so we can open up
your spot for someone else.

What was the last marketing email you read (not just
opened)?
Why?

23. ATTENTION RATIOThe ratio of links in email to the number of
conversion goals. Since almost every email
(excluding newsletters) should have one
goal, there should only have one call-to-
action.
One email, one purpose.

35. • Use headers and subheaders
• Use font, bolding, italics, numbers or colored text, but
not underline
• Be deliberate about the top 25% of your email
• If you are going to use multiple calls-to-action, stack
your content

44. The fewer the
columns, the
better.
Stick to one.
Remember the email’s
purpose when designing the
layout. A complex design
might be better suited as a
webpage.

45. • Use mobile-friendly templates
• Move your call-to-action above the fold
• Put the navigation in the footer
• Font should be minimum 14pt font
• Avoid the “wall-of-text” by using line breaks
• Your call-to-action should be at least 44 x 44 pixels
