EMAIL DESIGN

Once a company website was online and operational, the next step was to advertise its products through email marketing campaigns. Typically a sales and marketing person would approach me with an idea or product they wanted to promote.  It was then up to me to determine the images, slogans and design to be used.  Although emailing services like MailChimp, Constant Contact and Campaign Monitor were used at different times over the years to manage email addresses and send campaigns, their built-in template libraries were never used as I preferred the flexibility of developing the emails in a custom format.

ORIGINAL PRACTICES

Since email development has no real standards to follow, my early emails were developed using then recommended practices of XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype, tables, attributes and inline styling. Header templates for each company were designed to link the email to the various website product categories. The products highlighted in the promotion were also linked to the appropriate website page.

RESPONSIVE AND TESTED

With the emergence of responsive design, two areas of email development became more of a concern. Obviously the promotion had to be developed with a responsive layout with no inline CSS, and email testing became a priority. The growing number of desktop, web-based, and mobile email clients compelled custom email developers to test their designs before sending, ensuring the promotion looks appropriate in all types and sizes of email browsers.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
