    Here are a few tips before sending your newsletter to make sure you have the best results:

    1. Make sure you have permission by having your customers opt-in to messages.
    2. Strategically send messages during times when your audience interacts with your content most. Generally, it’s a great idea to have emails sent in the early morning but your audience may have different patterns.
    3. Track success by monitoring open and click-through rates so that you know what content is resonating best.
    4. A/B test subject lines, offers, and more to find out even more about what your audience really loves.
    5. Include a powerful CTA so that your offer is clear and your audience is directed to your site.
    6. Include strong visuals - all of which you’ll find in our email marketing templates right here on Designmodo
    7. Always provide value in your newsletters - whether that is through an interesting read or a can’t-miss offer, you’ll keep growing your audience.

Email Newsletter Questions

  • How do I create an email newsletter?

    Start from a template rather than a blank canvas. Pick a layout that matches what you plan to send regularly, replace the placeholder images and copy with your own, set your brand colours and fonts once, then export the finished HTML to your email marketing platform. Spend your time on the structure - a clear header, one main story, two or three secondary items and one obvious call-to-action - because you will reuse it every issue.

  • What should an email newsletter include?

    At minimum: a recognisable header with your logo, a subject line and preheader that work together, one clear lead story, a call-to-action button, and a footer with your postal address and an unsubscribe link. The address and unsubscribe link are legal requirements in most markets, not optional design elements. Beyond that, keep it shorter than feels natural - a newsletter that can be read in under a minute is read far more often than one that cannot.

  • How often should I send a newsletter?

    Consistency matters more than frequency. Monthly is the safest starting cadence for most businesses, fortnightly works if you genuinely have something to say, and weekly suits publishers and retailers with fresh stock. Pick a schedule you can sustain for a year and stick to it. Sending sporadically is worse than sending rarely, because subscribers forget who you are and mark you as spam.

  • What width should an email newsletter be?

    600 pixels is the long-standing convention and still the safest choice, because it renders correctly in the narrow reading panes of desktop clients like Outlook. Build image assets at double that width so they stay sharp on high-density screens, and let the template handle the mobile layout - every template in this collection is responsive, so a single-column view is applied automatically on small screens.

  • Will these newsletter templates work with Mailchimp, Outlook and Gmail?

    Yes. Each template exports as standard HTML and has been tested across the major email clients, including Outlook, which is the one most likely to break a modern layout. You can export directly to your email marketing platform in one click, or download the HTML file and upload it anywhere that accepts custom templates.

  • Why do my newsletters land in the Promotions tab?

    The Promotions tab is not a spam folder, and landing there is normal for newsletters with images and offers - many subscribers read it deliberately. If you want a better chance at the primary inbox, reduce the number of links, cut tracking parameters where you can, send from a consistent, authenticated domain, and write a subject line that reads like a person wrote it. Deliverability is driven far more by sending reputation and engagement than by the design of any one email.
