Message anatomy

## A useful starting point, with the important parts named.

The alternative to a short issue is a padded one, and the padding is always the part nobody reads. This month was quiet and the letter is short.

### What you can change

- Brand name
- Subject line
- Preheader
- Eyebrow
- Headline
- Supporting copy
- Primary action label
- Primary action URL

### What to keep clear

- Campaign context
- Headline and editorial premise
- Three skimmable sections
- Primary and secondary action
- Preference and unsubscribe footer
Complete starting copy

## Read it as text, not only as a picture.

**From**
: Ellerdale Almanac
**Subject**
: A short one this month, because there was not much
**Preheader**
: Padding it would waste your time and mine.
A short issue

### Four hundred words, because that is what there was

The alternative to a short issue is a padded one, and the padding is always the part nobody reads. This month was quiet and the letter is short.

#### What happened

Very little. The frost came late, the survey did not produce anything unexpected, and the building work has not started.

#### What is coming

The March issue will be long, because the survey results and the building both land in February. There is no shortage ahead.

#### Why say so

Because a monthly letter that is always the same length is being padded, and readers can tell. Length should follow content.
