Tip of the Month
If your brand markets internationally (and most do), you are not only writing for an audience which resides between Maine and California, but for a prospect who may live in Canada, Australia, Britain, India, South Africa, the Philippines or more than fifty other nations. As there is no universal English, email marketers are well advised to craft their targeted messages in the specific type of English that is practiced by their audience.

It’s as confusing to supply a recipe for “a treacle-glazed, rasher-wrapped hand of pork with capsicum, silver beet and sultana forcemeat” to an American audience as it is to provide the same “molasses-glazed, bacon-wrapped pork shoulder with red pepper, Swiss chard and raisin stuffing” recipe to your prospects in New Zealand, Ireland, Kenya, Hong Kong, Pakistan, Singapore, Jamaica…
