Some new changes to HUG:• We’ll be sending out a survey after each HUG meeting to
get your feedback.
• If you have a job opening you’d like to share with the HubSpot User Group, there’s a place on the HUG site for you to share the information. We’ll send an email out to the whole HUG list.

ANALYSIS PARALYSISThe state of overthinking that stops people from making a decision.

ATTENTION RATIOThe ratio of links in email to the number of conversion goals. Since almost every email (excluding newsletters) should have one goal, there should only have one call-to-action.
One email, one purpose.

• Use headers and subheaders
• Use font, bolding, italics, numbers or colored text, but
not underline
• Be deliberate about the top 25% of your email
• If you are going to use multiple calls-to-action, stack
your content

The fewer the columns, the better. Stick to one. Remember the email’s purpose when designing the layout. A complex design might be better suited as a webpage.
