Quick Guidelines for Successful B2B HTML Emails



Does email design require the same kind of treatment given towards websites?

Most designers design emails with the same design eye of a website. But, how can similar design treatment give work for two different entities, when the purpose is different?

Email message send to subscribers are crafted with a definite intention or purpose. Whereas, website has to cover wide range of utilities - brand, marketing and business.

Here's the quick tips in email design and purpose.

Readers’ time is precious— Make your message snappy - Inbox is too crowded for elaborate explanation

Only to Permission -- There's no two ways about permission. Send only to those who have expressed intention to receive your mailers

Relevance is everything -- Every communication must be relevant to the user. Else it's fate is doomed, even though you've got the consent

Simplify unsubscribe process -- It's futile to have uninterested users in your mailing list. Quality matters more than quality

Populate "ALT" tags for images & design email templates around 600-625 pixels wide

Test email for image rending issues -- Every email client has some form of image blocking. Send test emails before they rely on

Use tables-- Create columns using structural tables

Send text version -- Send HTML & text mails for more readership

CAN-SPAN Act -- Don't just say. Confirm to the law of the land

Test, test, test -- Seeing is believing. Test before you sent it across
