Additional notes
– General practices for good design on emails can be found online (Inverted pyramid model, 600 px wide, hero images, header-subheader-body-cta etc).
– Image resolution: 600px wide, Portrait mode (Can be wider but scale it proportionately). The height can be as much as you want.
– Klaviyo (software which we use for email marketing) has really limited features when it comes to designs. Thus, we will need some external image software (Photoshop, Adobe XD, Canva, Figma etc.) to create some fancy images.
– If you go to your email inbox (or Milled [dot] com) you will see a lot of those emails look like pure imagery. But the catch is that those email are split into pieces and uploaded individually, bit by bit into Klavivo. Some sections that look like images are actually stylized text boxes or button blocks. Other sections are stylized dynamic product fields.
