50. • Contrast – carefully consider your
color choices to ensure the text and
images stand out properly against
the background.
• Avoid reversing out small text on a
dark background.
• Text Size – 13px for body copy. No
pinching = 15-16px (depending on
font) and preview it on your mobile
device.
51. • Imagery – Images help tell your
brand’s story, so consider taking
the time to choose artful shots that
complement your message.
• Layout – One-column layout works
best for mobile. If you have a multi-
column layout, plan how elements
shift or stack.

most of the effect, but also uses mosaic color blocking to
recreate the stroller image.

subject lines. Open rates are
lower when it’s used as are
click rates.

The overriding, reoccurring theme from those we ask is that digital marketing is becoming more and more personal; more targeted to the individual. GinniRometty, CEO of IBM, sums it up well: “What you will see with rapid data and social sharing is the death of the average and the era of you”
“Businesses need to be able to truly serve the individual.” Well said. Traditionally, marketer have targeted groups of customers; a select audience.Marketers are now shifting their focus to targeting individuals; the individuals that exist within a select audience.
Email has survived more “guru”-predicted, near-death experiences than any other medium. The lesson, “_____ Is Dead” proclamations are foolish in a world fragmented by channels and devices. There’s more than enough room for everyone. This should calm some content marketing nerves who woke up to “Blogging Is Dead” headlines earlier this year. But it should also serve as a cautionary tale about beating a dead subject line. “_____ Is Dead” headlines are clearly provocative, linkbait. However, if you ride such waves too late or with a faulty premise, you run the risk of sending “rolling eye content” and losing your credibility. Don’t sacrifice accuracy for provocation.

Responsive design has moved from a nice to have to a must have. The increased, everyday importance and use of mobile in our lives requires us to design to meet customer expectations.And their number one expectation is that there be no pinching required to read what we are trying to sell them or tell them. Any effort needed to pinch-in or zoom-out is not worth the value they may find in your hard to read email … another lost subscriber, another lost opportunity.

Local Moments!Anywhere, anytime, anyhow is the new mantra. Sending consumers easy to action messages on their mobile devices can create exciting “right now” opportunities for brands to engage with their customers.

Lowe’s email is very tablet-friendly. Even their navigation bar is touch-friendly. They limit their product grid to two columns wide, use large text and big buttons. They also use plenty of white space to boost contrast and make the text easier to read.They also use plenty of white space to boost contrast and make the text easier to read.
