"I am an IT manager. I do NOT know much about marketing.BACKGROUD: We run our own email service. Our monthly messages begin with a line of text with hyperlink followed with HTML. The opening text says "Click here if you can not view this email, or similar"Our problem: Increasing numbers of clients report they can not view our HTML or click our hyperlink because their mail software or server imposes restrictions. We seek expert advice on how to best accomplish our email marketing goals? Some unknowns we interested in, what percentage of email users have HTML blocked? Say only 3%, then perhaps the benefit of 97% seeing our "Designer quality message" is worth the price of 3% seeing the UGLY "no HTML icon".These types of questions are where we need help. I am also interested in the items I checked in question 8."
