How you decide to phrase your hyperlinks can impact your click through rate. Pay special attention to how you do this. Your hyperlinks will grab the eye and are often the first thing read on a page, so be sure to say something with your hyperlinks.
In a text email you will need to show the actual link, but you are able to name the link title. People will also read the web address you include in your email message and try to decipher where they are being sent so keep it short and sweet. Be sure the page listed has a name that fits the promotion.

The key is to remember that links get read more than the surrounding text, so make them juicy to read. Make sure they excite and entice the reader to click.
