Marketers have a tough enough time getting into the inbox of the right customers at the right time. The last they need is to make it tough for customers who receive those emails to take action. But this is too often the case. More than one in 10 emails from major brands and marketers contain at least one faulty feature, according to a new study by Innovyx Inc. Additionally, 9% of emails read on mobile phones and tablets contain one or more broken links, and more than 5% of emails contain a broken image. 
The email and digital messaging agency analyzed more than 5,000 marketing emails and found that more than 11% of all marketing emails had one or more broken links. Innovyx primarily reviewed emails that were sent as part of a loyalty program or customer lifecycle series during May and June 2013.
