•  The most important piece of your message --the call to action! •  Try not to give your users too many calls to action, remember your purpose. CTA Learn More About Email CTAs
•  Where your physical address goes (to be CAN-SPAM compliant) along with your unsubscribe. •  Make your unsubscribe as painless as possible. If users can’t find the unsubscribe, they can find the spam button! Footer
