While the specific steps may vary by organization, a typical approval process includes the following stages:
Initial Draft: The marketing team creates the initial draft of the email, including subject lines, body content, images, and links. Internal Review: The draft is reviewed internally by the marketing manager and copywriters for content accuracy and brand alignment. Design Review: The design team reviews the email layout, images, and visual elements to ensure they are on-brand and mobile-friendly. Compliance Check: The legal team reviews the email for compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Technical Review: The IT team checks technical aspects such as tracking codes, links, and deliverability. Final Approval: Once all reviews are complete, the final version is approved and scheduled for sending.
