Comments on: Should You Resend Your Emails to Subscribers Who Didn’t Open Them? http://www.bloggingteacher.com/should-you-resend-your-emails-to-subscribers-who-didnt-open-them Practical Blogging Tips You Can Use Today Thu, 08 Sep 2011 06:08:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Karen http://www.bloggingteacher.com/should-you-resend-your-emails-to-subscribers-who-didnt-open-them#comment-3526 Karen Sun, 20 Jun 2010 17:18:53 +0000 http://www.bloggingteacher.com/?p=1748#comment-3526 Hi Paul, I read with interest Pat's suggestion when he posted it and I think you've come up with a good idea, too. I think one should test both methods and see what the results are. You won't really know until you try. It would be nice to try using different subscribers though in order not to skew the results of being first or second method. Have you adopted any method and what were your results? Thanks, Karen Hi Paul,

I'd follow Pat's system if there was a deadline on a product/event I knew would be of interest to readers who hadn't opened the first email, however.

As I mentioned in my post, I've used it on my other lists without any complaint, but only after waiting a good number of days, re-writing the subject line and content, and being honest about the re-send. If I have an important email, such as a deadline in the industry that my subscribers really should read, then I feel I almost have to make sure I give them the best chance to see that email, and sometimes that means a resend. Often times, my emails don't include links at all, just important information - so the link technique (which is very smart!) will not work in such cases. Cheers Paul!
