Grading a GOP Newsletter (part three)

In this final installment the GOP finishes strong. The last two components I am commenting on are the “email a friend” and un-subscription functions.

The “email your friend” tool is right at the bottom of the email. It is simple and you can email to up to five friends. Having a user friendly “email your friend” function is a must. This is the best way (next to a satirically funny cartoon) to encourage the viral effect that is the Eldorado of internet politics.

Finally, there is a simple unsubscribe process. This is key. In the new world of the internet, an organization must not force itself or its information on people.

Overall, I think the GOP could do better. No, the GOP must do better, if it wants to continue winning the hard fight for the public’s mind.
