You need to make them interesting and appealing enough for people to open them. Many emails come into a recipient\u2019s inbox, and not only from competitors in your field. You need to stand out from all the businesses that communicate with your prospective clients and generate really strong emails. For example, you need to anticipate subscribers\u2019 expectations. Knowing what they expect from your emails can help you design emails that appeal to their needs. In this post, we will discuss the best practices for creating great email designs. We will examine how to design emails to boost sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jump to: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#six-tips\">Six tips for independents to consider when designing emails<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#structure\">Choose a wise hierarchy and structure<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#cta\">Organize CTAs to be visible and understandable<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#footer\">Take care with the footer and the email signature<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#mobile\">Consider the email mobile-friendliness<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#efficiency\">Improve efficiency with dedicated tools<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"six-tips\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Six tips for independents to consider when designing emails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Envelope content is <strong>the first thing that pops up in the inbox<\/strong>. It includes the sender\u2019s name, subject line, and preheader and tells about the email copy without opening it. It should be exciting and curious enough to click it and read the full text. Knowing what to put in each of these parts can help you create really good emails and get more opens, clicks, and conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sender name<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>sender\u2019s name<\/strong> is the person or company sending out the email. It helps readers to establish the email\u2019s trustworthiness, so you should indicate your brand in this line. It is usually best to use your own name as it adds a personal touch which can increase engagement rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Subject line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>subject line<\/strong> is what appears in front of the recipients, informing them of what they will see when opening your email. There is a high risk that this line will be in truncated form. So limit its size to deliver the needed information to the reader. Most email providers support subject lines of up to 50 characters or less, but mobile inbox displays even fewer symbols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pre-header<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Preheaders <\/strong>are typically 1 or 2 sentences after the subject line, giving more information about the subject. They are similar to snippets in Google search. They prevent the email from ending up in the Trash folder, so follow these tips to increase their effectiveness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Personalize it by including a recipient\u2019s name or personal pronoun<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add a humorous emoji where appropriate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce the usage of punctuation, capitalization, and spam-triggering words like \u201cFree\u201d or \u201cWinner\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid using clickbait so as not to divert customers from the company<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-a13d700 ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-a13d700-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{padding-top:0 !important;padding-bottom:0 !important}.ugb-a13d700-wrapper > .ugb-container__side{padding-top:35px !important;padding-bottom:35px !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-a13d700.ugb-container{padding-top:0px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-container__wrapper ugb-a13d700-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-container__side\"><div class=\"ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-a13d700-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-columns ugb-columns ugb-25f43e3 ugb-columns--design-plain ugb-columns--columns-2 ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-25f43e3 > .ugb-inner-block > .ugb-block-content > .ugb-columns__item{grid-template-columns:0.20fr 1.80fr !important}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-columns__item ugb-25f43e3-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-column ugb-column ugb-1c7b8b8 ugb-column--design-plain ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-column__item ugb-1c7b8b8-column-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-column__content-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1_lightbulb-icon_182946fb75.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18294\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-column ugb-column ugb-80f8cf6 ugb-column--design-plain ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-column__item ugb-80f8cf6-column-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-column__content-wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> These hacks also apply to website design. Understanding customer needs will help you craft a flawless user experience. So when readers perform the desired action in the email, they will arrive at the website with the <a href=\"https:\/\/onilab.com\/blog\/ecommerce-checkout-ux\/\">best checkout UX<\/a>, well-thought-out navigation, and a convenient shopping cart.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"structure\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Choose a wise hierarchy and structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A poor structure spoils the user experience and makes it hard to skim your email copy. Start your email design process by determining the major email sections and <strong>how to organize content<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you send an email to promote photography services. You want to direct the viewer\u2019s attention to essential elements, so you should highlight the images, not place them below the text somewhere in the footer. The email may convert better if you open it with the picture and include the description and CTA button below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-50ec4be ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-50ec4be-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{padding-top:0 !important;padding-bottom:0 !important}.ugb-50ec4be-wrapper > .ugb-container__side{padding-top:35px !important;padding-bottom:35px !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-50ec4be.ugb-container{padding-top:0px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-container__wrapper ugb-50ec4be-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-container__side\"><div class=\"ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-50ec4be-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-columns ugb-columns ugb-3b119a8 ugb-columns--design-plain ugb-columns--columns-2 ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-3b119a8 > .ugb-inner-block > .ugb-block-content > .ugb-columns__item{grid-template-columns:0.20fr 1.80fr !important}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-columns__item ugb-3b119a8-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-column ugb-column ugb-e9f96b4 ugb-column--design-plain ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-column__item ugb-e9f96b4-column-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-column__content-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1_lightbulb-icon_182946fb75.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18294\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-column ugb-column ugb-49020fa ugb-column--design-plain ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-column__item ugb-49020fa-column-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-column__content-wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Find the best layout for your email by <strong>conducting an A\/B test<\/strong>. Whether it is a zigzag pattern or an inverted pyramid layout, make sure to create a story and lead the readers to complete the desired action.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider an email design with an inverted pyramid structure. The following example demonstrates how this style effectively grabs readers\u2019 attention at the top of the email with a call to action at the end of the copy. You can place anything at this part of the email, including a product feature, a new book, or another crucial element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different expense-tracking apps available, and you can search for these online and refer to reviews to decide which ones to go for. Each independent will have their own preference as to which one they like the best. Don&#8217;t be afraid to opt for a few different ones to see what works best for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"cta\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Organize CTAs to be visible and understandable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use calls-to-action (CTAs) in your emails to encourage recipients to take action. CTAs are the words or images that prompt people to do something, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open a certain page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave a review<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow social media<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buy something online or take other actions depending on the goals, such as to view an <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/online-contract\">online contract<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can place CTAs anywhere in the email layout, but the <strong>top position ensures users will spot the button without scrolling the page<\/strong>. The placement depends on the goals for each <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/plan-email-marketing-campaign\">email campaign<\/a> and how much space you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, leave CTAs at the top of your emails if you want to increase sales. Or, if you tell a story and provide several options with different CTAs, the main button may appear at the end of the copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best email design practices to write captivating CTAs for email are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They can be a simple \u201cClick here\u201d or more elaborate with images and text<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regardless of the type of CTA used, it is vital to highlight the major one<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colorize buttons to contrast with the background<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The text on the button should properly describe the desired action, such as \u201cReceive a graphic design consultation\u201d or \u201cBook a call with our team\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using a sense of urgency in moderation may speed up decision making<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How can you determine where and how to put your CTAs? That is where A\/B testing can also help. It is a great way to find out which CTAs work best for your audience. For example, if you have 2 different calls to action in one email, one will perform better than the other. Analyzing their performance lets you choose the needed placement, color, or wording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"footer\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Take care with the footer and the email signature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/professional-email-signature\">email signature<\/a> is <strong>an area at the bottom of your emails<\/strong> containing contact information. It typically includes your name, title, company name, logo, and sometimes links to social media profiles or websites. As this is where most people will see your name and company information, your email signature should be concise and consistent with the rest of the content. With an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/email-signature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email signature generator,<\/a>&nbsp;you can create one in just seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An email footer should also include the Unsubscribe button. But do not minify it or blend it with the background. Why? Because people may not need your services this time and decide to stop receiving messages. They will search for the dedicated button but will not find it. The last thing you want for your email is to appear in the Spam folder when recipients report your emails as spam. Instead of hiding this button, provide it along with Support links to help find a solution to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"mobile\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Consider the email mobile-friendliness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to statistics, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailmunch.com\/blog\/mobile-friendly-email\">85% of people<\/a> often check their smartphones to see messages in their inboxes. As consumers increase their mobile phone usage for shopping and texting, you will lose a significant portion of potential clients without <strong>a mobile-friendly design<\/strong>. The text size, position, and the number of columns also play a decisive role in marketing design. For example, a single-column email may be more responsive and simpler to read on different devices. Two-column text may seem fine when viewing the email from a desktop. But from smartphones, the content will be too small to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-b5cda8c ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-b5cda8c-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{padding-top:0 !important;padding-bottom:0 !important}.ugb-b5cda8c-wrapper > .ugb-container__side{padding-top:35px !important;padding-bottom:35px !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-b5cda8c.ugb-container{padding-top:0px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-container__wrapper ugb-b5cda8c-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-container__side\"><div class=\"ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-b5cda8c-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-columns ugb-columns ugb-b158711 ugb-columns--design-plain ugb-columns--columns-2 ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-b158711 > .ugb-inner-block > .ugb-block-content > .ugb-columns__item{grid-template-columns:0.20fr 1.80fr !important}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-columns__item ugb-b158711-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-column ugb-column ugb-4dfa819 ugb-column--design-plain ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-column__item ugb-4dfa819-column-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-column__content-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1_lightbulb-icon_182946fb75.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18294\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-column ugb-column ugb-ccb2698 ugb-column--design-plain ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-column__item ugb-ccb2698-column-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-column__content-wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> One of the guaranteed ways to retain readers is to <strong>employ interactive content<\/strong>.
