Phrasee’s phavorite marketing tweets of the month: January 2018
It’s 2018!
And, if January is any indication, we should be in for another interesting year.
GDPR is just around the corner, AI has found its way into the world’s homes in the form of Alexa and Google Home, and the email marketing world is gearing up for another year of massive ROI delivery. Meanwhile, here at Phrasee, we teamed up with Hubspot to bring subject line science to the masses.
All in all, a pretty amazing month.
Especially on Twitter.
Let’s see what email marketing’s best and brightest were tweeting about in January…
We handed out valuable pointers. Was it because we wanted to help, or because we were annoyed?
Dear #EmailGeeks,
Countdown timers in email are really cool.However please, Please PLEASE think about alt text.
I’ve seen quite a few come up recently and not a single one had appropriate alt text.
Something like alt=”Show starts at 19.30 on Friday 26th January”

We strove for transparency…
Fun fact: When recruiters ask us to share a job posting with our members, our co-founders always ask for the salary range. It’ll be much easier to close the wage gap if we all know what companies are paying for our work.

And we took time to marvel at the magnificence of the digital age…

Dear SalesJerks: When I’ve already unsubscribed/told you I’m not interested, please don’t just start bugging my colleagues. Not cool.

Although some are indeed objectively cooler than others (we should probably give this a try)…

But, in the end, everyone should do whatever makes them happy, and we all know who REALLY has life figured out…
