Depending on the kind of information you want and need to share with your email list, the design will change. For example, a welcome email and order confirmation email are two different things. The content changes the context, which means you as the designer will have to find an appropriate way to convey whatever message you are trying to communicate with the reader. Think about what reaction you want to prompt when people view your email and this will allow you to have fun with the elements you incorporate! These designs should always stay consistent with your business’ branding so always assure that you’re not straying away from your brand’s aesthetics.
One of the first steps to take during the design process is to establish the topic, theme and goal of the email. This is what email marketing is all about: conveying a message that you hope your subscribers will understand and engage in.. Mundane and repetitive email designs are most likely not going to get many responses. A streamlined process of putting together colours, text and imagery that lets your brand’s personality shine through is much more successful in drawing in your viewers.
