Designing Your Emails

Designing beautiful emails has always been the bane of most people’s existence as most email providers do not always render the html correctly. In a world where most people view emails on their phone, this is no easy task.

Professional email designs have great branding, are informative and have a catchy title. The titles for your emails are very important as they will draw people to actually opening them. Don’t use spammy titles and make sure they are related to what the content of the email is.
