Contact your sales representative to arrange and book an e-blast. Please note: We limit e-blasts to a certain number per week. If you wish to schedule your e-blast for a specific date, be sure to book as early as possible.

If you wish to use our standard e-blast template, all you need to provide is text (including hyperlinks if appropriate) and one or two graphics (optional); we will lay out and send to you for approval.

If you wish to submit your own customized e-blast, you may. Please note the following best practices:

• Submit a single *.HTM or *.HTML file – no proprietary formats such as EML (Microsoft Outlook), please;
• Only in-line CSS should be used (no separate stylesheets or header style element);
• Layout width should not be greater than 700px, if possible;
• Hyperlinks should be direct to the targets (e.g., our distribution client will not permit bit.ly redirects);
• Animated GIFs are discouraged, as only the first frame will display on some email clients;
• Light-coloured text that requires a background image or dark background for legibility is discouraged.
