Single message (conversion focused)

Best used for announcements about new products, special offers, or other singular news items that feature a single call to action (CTA).

This email has a modular design, so you can add and subtract modules as needed. The top featured module has to stay on top; then you can use any number of modules in any order you wish.

Best practices
  • Write short, active subject lines that convey a benefit or incentive to your audience (60 characters).
  • Include pre-header text, with a focus on the first 5–8 words for mobile readability.
  • Communicate 1 single message, with 1 CTA.
  • No more than 300 words; be concise and focus on the value proposition to the reader.
  • Include social media links.
     
Modules

Depending on your content needs, choose the appropriate design to use.
 

Mobile/tablet
  • Content should be stacked from left to right.
  • CTA should be featured without scrolling.
  • Only hide content on mobile if the scrolling takes away from the experience.
  • Multiple containers may be featured on a horizontal side swipe.
