(sitepoint.com), provider of fun, practical, and easy-to-understand content for web professionals, today announced the release of The Email Marketing Kit, a comprehensive, step-by-step professional email marketing resource compiled by industry expert Jeanne S. Jennings.

The kit's manual contains hundreds of pages of strategy, advice, and practical applications targeted at business owners and managers, freelance web developers, and development firms looking to expand their service offerings. A CD-ROM packed with tools and useful templates, and a special launch offer that includes US$40 of value from the Constant Contact email service, support the kit's goal of helping readers enjoy real returns from email marketing.

The kit's CD-ROM boasts tools such as strategy documents, email templates and examples, and electronic newsletter advertising revenue and email cost analysis worksheets -- all designed to give readers a solid head-start in their email marketing operations. The $40 Constant Contact offer includes credit with this service, access to a dedicated Communications Consultant, and a handy 25-point checklist entitled "Essential Questions for Email Marketers."
