Making sure your emails look good on any device is key. With so many people checking their inboxes on the go, a mobile-responsive design is essential for connecting with your audience.
Using a template gives you a proven starting point, taking the guesswork out of building an email that works everywhere.
Designing for a smaller screen is a creative constraint that can lead to more focused and effective emails. Here’s how to make your designs work beautifully on mobile:

[*The Offer Details*]
[*Clearly state the promotion. Is it a discount, a free trial, or a special bundle? Be specific about the terms and the expiration date to create a sense of urgency. For example: "For a limited time, get [*Discount Percentage*]% off your entire order. Use code: [*PROMOCODE*] at checkout."*]
[*Make your call to action impossible to miss. Use a button that stands out and tells the reader exactly what to do.*]
