About Email Templates
Email templates provide a consistent foundation for your email marketing and transactional messages. A well-designed template can increase engagement, improve brand recognition, and deliver a better experience for your recipients.
Email Design Best Practices
- Keep your design mobile-friendly
- Use a responsive layout that works on all devices
- Maintain consistent branding with your website
- Use web-safe fonts for better compatibility
- Keep file sizes small for faster loading
- Use a clear hierarchy with headings and sections
Effective Email Content
- Write clear, compelling subject lines
- Keep your message focused and concise
- Include a strong call-to-action (CTA)
- Personalise content when possible
- Test your emails before sending
- Always include unsubscribe options
Template Types
Welcome Emails
Sent to new subscribers or customers, welcome emails have an average open rate of 50-60%, making them one of your most effective messages. They set expectations and start building relationships.
Transactional Emails
Order confirmations, receipts, and shipping notifications are essential communications that customers expect. They typically have high open rates and can be opportunities for upselling.
Newsletters
Regular newsletters keep your audience engaged with valuable content, company updates, and product announcements. Consistency in design helps with brand recognition over time.
Technical Considerations
Email clients vary widely in how they render HTML. Consider these technical aspects:
- Use tables for layout instead of div-based designs
- Inline CSS is more reliable than external stylesheets
- Test across multiple email clients (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail)
- Keep your HTML code clean and minimalist
- Include fallbacks for images (alt text, background colors)
- Aim for a maximum width of 600-650px
