The eMail Guide has been a member of the only council for the email marketing industry, the eec, since its inception. We’ve found there are great benefits to joining -  access to research, articles and case studies, discounts to major email marketing events and contributing content to the EEC website such as the book showcase page or articles and links. Being able to download and display official EEC branding in your communications is also nothing to sneeze at either.

Though we already think the association is excellent and worth joining we went ahead and asked Ali Swerdlow, Marketing and Sponsorship Manager for the eec, for discount code to share with our community ~ and here it is: use EmailCo10 on the eec website to become a member and save 10%! Thanks so much Ali and the eec, and keep up the great work.
