Recent Change In HTML Rendering of Gmail

Gmail has recently changed its HTML rendering method causing some problems with HTML email layouts. We just want to inform you that Gmail is adding unwanted spaces after images which causing some layout problems such as the following one:

Solution is easy, just add “display:block” to your image tags and problem will go away. However, please note that this styling will cause some problems if your image is in a paragraph or next to a text.

More detailed information can be found here.

Recent HTML Email Rendering Change In Gmail

Last week, we have sent our PreviewMyEmail.com email campaign and noticed some white lines after images in the email content in Gmail (click here to view the Gmail screen shot).

Gmail has changed how they render HTML images. Unfortunately, it adds spaces after images which may be breaking your HTML email layout just like in our recent email campaign.

As mentioned in theemailguide.com, this issue can be fixed by adding “display:block” style to every single image tag inside your HTML code. However, please note that this may cause another problem if the image is in a paragraph.

p.s.: Thanks to Richelo for sending us the link

We are very happy with Oempro

"Before we moved to OemPro, we had difficulties with other email marketing scripts that had issues with everything from sending to lack of features such as basic reporting. Ever since we have moved to OemPro, we have left that all behind. We can easily setup campaigns for ourselves and our clients – giving clients the access they need to read their reports on their campaigns.
We are very happy with OemPro and would have no problem recommending it to anyone that is looking for a trouble free e-Mail marketing script that is easy to use." — Osirion System Technologies

Improved List Segmentation in Oempro v4.1

We are preparing to release Oempro v4.1 Release Candidate (that's right, release candidate :)) next week and wanted to share some sneak peek videos of v4.1 new features.

Oempro v4.1 will include several cool features including A/B split testing, advanced list segmentation, more powerful custom fields, better user management, improved campaign management and much more. We will do our best to publish sneak peek videos for each cool new feature in following days if we find enough time to focus on screen casting.

Let's begin with the improved list segmentation feature. Oempro development team spent several days on this feature (congratulations!) to make it user-friendly and powerful. We believe that the result is fantastic. We changed the list segmentation screen completely, now there's rule board inside each list segment to help you design your segment easily just like creating an organization chart.

You can set unlimited rules inside each list segment, group them, and also set rules based on recipient activity such as link clicking or email opening.

We have recorded a short (~2min) sneak peek video to show you how the new user interface of list segmentation screen looks like. Take a look:

We hope you like it and thanks for valuable feedback so far. The next sneak peek video will be covering Oempro v4.1's new A/B split test campaigns. Stay tuned.

Status Update: Oempro v4.1 final release is scheduled for mid-April. This new version will include more than 30 new features, 100+ improvements and several bug fixes reported since the last update.

Coming soon in Oempro v4.1: A/B Split Tests

We are approaching to the end of Oempro v4.1 and I believe it's the right time to start revealing some new features of Oempro v4.1.
A/B Split Testing
A/B Split Testing
A/B Split Testing is a useful marketing method. Simply you create different "versions" of your email and send them to different groups of recipients. Then system picks up the winner email content and sends it to the rest of recipients. In this way, you maximize the return from your email campaigns. Oempro v4.1 provides you this great feature. You will be able to set different versions of your email campaign and send them to different groups. Oempro will then decide the winner based on your criteria and send it to the rest. You will be able to check the overview reports of your A/B split tests and dig into more detailed campaign reports. It's fun to use this feature and makes you amazed with results. Do you know the success of sending your email campaigns with a personal from name or a company name? This feature will tell you.
