Campaigns are one time sends, like a new product announcement or holiday sale. Automations or flows are what happens when someone joins your newsletter, or makes a purchase. Transactional emails are things like order confirmations or shipping updates.

Fast Fixes and Common Mistakes costing you $100 every time an email is sent.

  • Have an email that’s readable and actionable on mobile and desktop.
  • Your email design should match your website. If your website and social profiles are beautiful, why don’t they look the same.
  • Use design elements, things like fonts, weights, and colours to draw the eye.
  • USING ALL CAPS IS HARD TO READ. FINE FOR HEADLINES BUT DON'T PUBLISH FULL SENTENCES. SEE HOW ANNOYING IT IS?
  • Coupons and deals should be easy to understand at a glance.
  • Have one action that you want readers to take, if it’s coupon redemption make it clear and easy to understand
  • Don’t waste space
  • Giving an unsubscribe option will prevent you from being marked as spam.
