Expecting More

In: Usability

I received this well designed email from Adobe this morning.  They had my attention with a great design, interesting image, headlines and the right amount of teaser text.  I clicked on the linked date ”March 20 – 23
Salt Lake City, Utah” for more information.  Instead of going to the Adobe Digital Marketing Summit webpage a Save As dialog box came up prompting me to save the .ics file for my calendar program.  I canceled and looked at the page again looking for a link for more information.  None.  Finally I clicked on the main image hoping it would take me to a webpage with more information, unfortunately it was the same .ics file link.  The designer did a good job on this email but failed to consider the expectations of users to learn more.  I can see now that the purpose of this email was simply to announce the date of the Summit, but it confused me because I was expecting more.

Other Issues:
I don’t use Outlook or the .ics format so these links are useless. How about adding a link to add it to my Google Calendar?

A surprisingly bad usability issue with LuLu’s online chat feature.  Notice the mirrored text at the bottom of the screen.  Way distracting.  It also updates the text as you type it making it even more distracting.
