An email is a collection of simple elements: a from name, a subject line, headlines, images, and copy. With discrepancies between different email clients and limitations imposed by email service providers, working these elements together into an optimal message is much more complicated.
This week’s infographic, which comes to us from Newzful, covers the information you need to know to create optimal marketing emails. It outlines the elements of a typical message, describes the right content, and offers a final checklist to make sure your email is ready to send.
A few key points from the infographic include
