Segmentation

- high value donors
- one-off donor
- other donors
- people who click on specific links

- thank you emails/page
- video of people saying thank you + action - jump in conversions

HTML and plain text
- you can get better stats
- plain text emails look like an email from a friend - should be utilized a bit more.

Split testing - usually takes 24h - but learning about your audiece is good - what they respond to how they.

Merging lists is absolutely fine - people don't unsubscribe and they are interested in more than one thing. Data protection statement needs to be as wide as possible but you need to segment carefully so that people don't get emails which make no sense.
