Creating a visually-appealing email with easy-to-read formatting is crucial to converting opens into clicks.
Email Accessed From Different Platforms and Devices
Email is a powerful conversion tool, but also a complicated medium. There are many options when using email, and it can be challenging to design emails for varying devices and platforms. People access email from mobile phones and tablets; they read email from a desktop using Outlook or Apple Mail; and they also use web-based email platforms like Gmail and Yahoo!. Additionally, many people use a combination of all these devices and platforms to read email.
Mobile Email Usage Increasing
Out of every device, open rates on mobile devices are skyrocketing. Currently, 43% of all emails are opened on phones, and this is only going to increase. It is projected that by 2017, 78% of U.S. email users will access their emails via mobile device.
So the question is, how do you maintain your brand’s integrity when users are accessing emails from every device, especially mobile phones?

Like responsive web design, responsive email resizes the layout according to the screen size from which it is accessed. This eliminates the need for pinching, zooming, and manually resizing the email just to read the content. It allows for simple user experience that enables the reader to easily follow the calls to action.
According to ExactTarget, companies who implemented responsive design saw improved analytics.
