Because there is no not just bad examples that make you grow, here is an example ofemailing close to perfection (there is a big imperfection in the picture). This is a newsletter from the e-commerce site Shoes.com.What I like most about this newsletter is the readability of this one when images are not displayed. This is really an example of the good use of ALT tags and styling. Obviously, the capture below is made in Gmail, the result is probably not as bluffing in Outlook.While in many ways this newsletter is exemplary, a big black spot still comes to taint the picture, it is theabsence total of text version of the email. Another negative point is the bad text/image ratio. These two points are clearly in disadvantage a good deliverability.
