Hope that helps you understand the basics. In my Educational Series posts on email I cover all this in 101. You should have a read.

That's the end of that then.
It's an ethics thing.
I will never, ever take money from you.
So you can have my creative work for free. Use it if you want, learn from this experience if you can, and hopefully you will send out less dreadful emails in the future. If your designer wants the AI files, let me know I will send them
Or don't.
It's no skin off my nose either way. I've done the work. I think the ideas were good and I know for a fact any one of them would get you more clicks than the one you sent out.
PS Don't just spam the same list the same email next week. It's insulting. Segment the non-opens and send them the same creative if you want, with a different subject. But please don't just send the same thing out again.
PPS If things are tight, I am willing to pay for your use of a proper email service for a month so you can see how much of a difference applying just a little thought to your emailing makes.
