An Email Promo Mistake

December 14, 2022

#1 mistake with email promos is thinking clients will take the extra step to see more. 

Our human tendency is to rush to delete emails. It almost brings us joy to delete. Don’t fall into this trap by wasting the top of your email with space or your logo. Immediately show the goods, making your point even if it’s deleted without a scroll to see more.

The number one mistake with email promos is assuming that clients will scroll past the big logo at the top. Instead, place the main content—the meat and potatoes—of your email promo right at the top.

The goal is to make your email fast, straightforward, and engaging. People tend to delete emails quickly to clear their inbox, so make sure your key message is visible immediately. Capture their attention right away to encourage them to scroll down and see more.
