Elements of an Email That Rocks

Header: Making an Entrance

• Subject Line: Your email’s first impression. Think of it as your email’s pick-up line—make it count! Tip: A/B testing is your friend. Experiment and learn what what your audience likes.
• Preheader: This little snippet is your subject line’s wingman. Give them a reason to click that open!
• Sender Name: Whether it’s your brand or a face from your team, make it memorable and authentic.

Tip: A/B test subject lines to see what resonates most with your audience.

Body: Where the Real Talk Happens

• Greeting: Personalized greetings? It’s like getting a coffee with your name on it. Warm and personal.
• The Meat of It:
  • The Problem: Hit where it hurts. What’s bugging your audience?
  • The Solution: Drumroll… That’s where you come in. Tip: Bullet points? Think of them as the secret spices of email—clear, concise, and incredibly digestible.
• Visuals: Let your images or videos do the talking, but remember, they should be the backup singers, not the main act.
• CTA: This is your spotlight moment. Make it irresistible!

Footer: The Cooldown

• Unsubscribe: Give them the freedom to opt out. It’s not just a trust thing—it’s actually a legal requirement!
• Stay Social: Let them know where else they can find you. TikTok? Instagram? You got it!
• The Legal Bits: Your address, the must-haves, and the must-knows. Keep it legit.

Mobile Optimization: Don’t Sleep on It

Today, more than half of the eyeballs on your emails are probably from a mobile screen. Whether it’s someone sneaking a peek during their commute or a quick scroll at a coffee shop, mobile is where it’s at.

The twist? Mobile screens can be finicky.

Mobile screens are smaller, and email designs that look fantastic on desktop might not translate well on a mobile device. Issues can range from distorted images, unaligned text blocks, to CTAs that are too small to tap.

Mobile Email Best Practices:

1. Keep It Clean: Less is more when it comes to design on a smaller screen.
2. Font Size Matters: Bigger is better. Clarity is key.
3. Big Buttons: Because no one likes to play the game of “Can I Tap That Button?”
4. Single-File, Please: Stick to a one-column layout. Keep it simple and scrollable.
