We've recently had people asking when they will be getting their newsletters. Turns out that the page that loads after they press 'subscribe now' fails, and doesn't tell them to check they emails to confirm. Certainly does pay to test.

Really it was a complete lack of awareness in this case - certainly an issue at times for all business folk.

On top of testing your systems, it is also a good idea to review your metrics on a regular basis. Had you had a system in place where you could see a historical record of signups to all your mailing lists, then that drop off would have been glaringly obvious and you may have noticed without having to actually go through and add yourself to the mailing list. Great advice, Yaro.
