Newsletter launch playbook

Before your list hits send.

Newsletter traffic is warm but impatient — broken landing pages, missing unsubscribe paths, and slow loads kill conversion from your best audience.

Draft week

Landing page pass

  • Primary CTA URL from email loads fast on mobile
  • OG tags correct for link previews in email clients
  • UTM parameters don't break canonical URLs

Pre-send

Compliance & trust

  • Privacy policy covers email collection and data use
  • Cookie/consent banner if EU subscribers on list
  • Signup form accessible — labels, errors, keyboard nav

Send day

Handle click spike

  • Monitor for downtime during send window
  • Re-scan if you A/B test a new landing variant
