Which of these links is stronger? Why?

A. I highly recommend that you <explore our majors>, NAME! 

B. I highly recommend that you explore <our majors>, NAME!

A.! Including an action verb (in this case "explore") in your linked copy: 

- Makes it clear that the signer is requesting/recommending an action of the student. 

- Provides context for students/parents reading the email using a screen reader. You can ask screen readers to read aloud all of the linked copy in an email, so the more information linked copy contains, the better.

What happens if you don't select the right email template?

Your WD will have to create the email graphics--and all the partner branding that comes with that--from scratch instead of using the pre-prepared template they worked so hard to build. In other words, your WD will be very sad.
