Adjustments to Digest emails

[benhalpern]

Is this feature related to a problem? Please describe.

Digest emails have been sitting around with some small flaws and they are not serving members effectively.

Describe the solution you’d like

Small tweaks to design and functionality which ensure they are delivering value.

Definition of Done

• Re-design to be more cohesive with other emails and site design
• Ongoing tweaks to algorithm to ensure more relevant selections as much as possible
• Track clicks and adjust delivery rate based on what is being clicked (as opposed to tracking views)
• Initiate A/B testing in several parts to ensure ongoing tweaks are measured where possible
• Adjust billboard behavior based on clicks from Digest
• Adjust to send weekdays instead of the current odd Wed-Sat schedule
