2016 State of Email Design: How Marketers Go from Inspiration to Email Design to Landing Page [eBook]

Email design is a unique discipline that’s distinct from web, print, and other forms of design. Both the technological constraints and advantages of the email medium require designers to adopt channel-specific approaches—whether it’s embracing the limitations around rendering and code support or seizing the opportunities around testing and targeting.

3. Approach email design
4. Use various design elements
5. Use one-off email designs
6. A/B test their emails
7. Handle email redesigns
8. Manage landing page responsibilities
