Here are a few!     A bonsai I planted during a class I attended back in May. It's...adjusting. This is the one I'm most nervous about. Also peep the skeleton in the back. It has a space at the top of its head so you can put an air plant in it. Like a little crown.   A mix of spider plants, pothos, and philodendrons. I have an app that keeps track of watering schedules.  ... View more

My hobby is tending to my plants! I don't collect rare plants since there is always the fear of killing them but I enjoy trying to revive the sale ones I find at plant stores. I bought one that was struggling back on Black Friday and I'm finally seeing new leaves pop up! It's very rewarding. ... View more

Hi @GwendolynD25. Is the image located in the editor or in a document that was uploaded to your library? Any content such as images or text included in an externally created document that was uploaded to the library must be edited outside of Constant Contact then re-uploaded. ... View more

Hi @WanderleyR9. Thanks for coming into the Community!   Your branding is so clean! With its simplicity, I can focus on the images which are the selling point of promoting your staging services.   For improving the call-to-action, there isn't anything for me to click on until I get to the very bottom of the email. I recommend replicating the toolbar at the bottom of the email and including it at the top as well. For the "read more" text, for me, I don't know what exactly I would be seeing if I clicked the button. It goes to your homepage. Is there a specific page on your website that you can promote here? Looking at your website and comparing it to the email, I don't see the Free Consultation advertised. Maybe this can be used in the email instead of a generic "Read More" button. Make sure that your email address is linked as well! ... View more

Hi @BradfordI1. I couldn't tell at all 😄 Thanks for coming over to the Template Feedback area!   I like the usage of those read more blocks to shorten your newsletter and drive traffic to your PDF. A recommendation I would give is to consider the amount of images you have since they outweigh the amount of text that is included. The second with the mobile chapel is a nice place to add more text. Since that area doesn't take up too much room in the attached PDF, you can include all the text in that block and list the locations of the mobile chapel. Another recommendation would be to replace the "Are You A Disciple Of Christ" image with one of the photos from the PDF, such as the one that shows the event's attendees.   There is certainly a feeling of community and support in this newsletter. Thanks for sharing it with us! ... View more

Hi @ConnorO369. Thanks for coming over to the Template Feedback board. I'd be happy to take a look.    I like the usage of green in your template. Green gives off positive feelings and is associated with growth, which certainly relates to someone needing to find a new home. With some real estate newsletters, realtors sometimes include multiple photos of a property which can be overwhelming and take up space that should be used to describe the home instead. You're taking that approach to instead point your contacts toward your website so they can view the full listing.   The background is a bit distracting and I'm finding myself looking at that more than the content of the newsletter. A solid or less busy background may is better suited for your newsletter so your contacts can concentrate on the listings. There's also a mix of your "Hole in One Homes" branding and Keller Williams and they're not harmonious. I'm imagining that you are primarily promoting your website so I'd stick with the green and black theme for your headlines and sections. I don't know much about realty but I'm guessing you should mention that you are a Keller Williams agent so the logo for that can be included at the bottom. I also recommend not overloading your email with underlined text since it gives the impression that the text is linked to another site. Make sure that your logos are linked to your website too!   The text you are using is informative and welcoming. I like the opening with you asking a question and letting your contacts know you can help to answer it. ... View more

Hi @AdrianB3! Thanks for coming over to the Template Feedback board. I'd be happy to review your email.    The light purple color complements the darker purple color of your logo. As a note, I saw the logo isn't clickable so there isn't an easy way to get to your website.  Also, the "Visit our Website" button at the bottom of the email goes to a broken link so that will need to be fixed. Another adjustment I would make is to change the appearance of your text links. I wasn't aware that I could click on them until I hovered over the text. An underline would work well here. You will want to keep in mind the number of text links you have in an email as they can be distracting.   For me, the email is a bit long and I found myself losing track of where I was. However, this is my opinion and I'm not in the demographic you typically send to. In your next send, try using a poll block to ask what your contacts think of the format of your emails. Maybe they would be interested in receiving separate emails, like one dedicated to weekly events and another with resources. You have a great open rate so it proves your contacts are interested in what you are saying!   I'll make sure to note the feedback about the ease of moving blocks around. Have a great weekend! ...

Hi @RachelA545. Thanks for coming over from the webinar! We're excited to have you here. I like how you have different emails for different goals instead of having one large email that covers multiple topics.   Feedback for the first email: I love the usage of your branding. Orange can be an overwhelming color but you have a nice balance by incorporating white into the sections and using softer images. You mentioned one of the goals of this email is to keep people "engaged." I think there's an opportunity here for different kinds of engagement beyond only promoting your upcoming events. I like the piece at the beginning that discusses a new series you're offering and points people toward listening to a podcast. It's a low-effort click for them without feeling as if they need to commit to something. I recommend including more of these sections in future emails. I looked at your Facebook page and saw a video about a recent event you had. You can reuse that content and share the photo link in case your contacts weren't able to attend. It's also recommended to keep the body text size between 14-16pt.   Feedback for the second email: You hit the goal perfectly by concentrating on one event. I liked the area with quotes from past participants and the simple buttons that bring them to the registration pages. I'd adjust the layout of the email by bringing the description of the event and learning outcomes to the top below the video. This way, your contacts will learn more about the Summer Academy and educate themselves before they are ready to register. You'll have one button at the bottom with the call to register.   Overall, these are great-looking templates! I can tell there was a lot of work that was put into them. ... View more

Hey @MarcusS704. Congrats on your first send! Feels good to check that task off, huh? I'd be happy to also chime in here.   I like the imagery you're using to "wrap" the email and all the design elements like the buttons and borders which match your branding. Something that was brought up during our webinar was the usage of a call-to-action (CTA). In your email, you have four "Learn More" buttons very close to each other. I'd recommend removing the buttons under each product and replacing them one button with simpler text that isn't as pushy. An example would be "Show me more products".    A small note with your opening text: I recommend putting a break between each paragraph so it's easier to read.   @StacyK73 mentioned in their reply that they didn't see a button linking to your website. The logos are clickable but I'd include a link in your footer in case the clickable logo isn't obvious to your readers.    Since you're starting out, I recommend visiting our New Customer Hub which has a bunch of resources to guide you through using your account. I especially like the video tutorials.    Welcome to Constant Contact! ... View more

Hi @AccessNorth. Thanks for joining us in the Community. I like how you've already started taking steps to test the designs of your email. I've done this for a nonprofit I help with and it can take some work. Have you seen any differences in terms of the click rate between the two designs? I like elements from both designs so there's an opportunity to "marry" these two templates.   Branding is absolutely something to consider when creating an email. Both emails have your logo but I like how in the second template, the logo stands out more instead of being hidden in a very busy photo with colorful flowers. If you were to use a background image in the same area as your logo, try playing with the transparency. In the second template, the width is wider so it takes less scrolling to read your email which I recommend. I like the idea of including seasonality in your designs but I would be cautious about changing the colors completely since you are losing your branding. Instead of switching out all of the colors, change the yellow background to something more muted to match the season but still keep your main colors visible.    In the second template, some of the lines of text drop randomly or there is extra spacing. That should be a quick fix.   Overall, your emails are fun and full of information, giving an inside look into the organization while promoting the services you offer. Keep it up and don't be afraid to keep testing. ... View more

Hi @FirstNameL65795. Thanks for coming into the Community!    During our recent webinar, we talked about the usage of images in emails. A good rule of thumb is to have 20-50% of your email being made up of images and the rest being text. Your email is image-heavy right now and there's the possibility that spam filters can pick up on it and not bring it into the inbox. I'd recommend using one image per type of equipment you are advertising and creating more text blocks, keeping in mind that caps lock can be seen as spammy.   I'd also recommend trying a different layout. Right now, it's a single column of text and images which creates a very long email. When creating an email, we have layout blocks with images and text blocks next to each other. Creating this type of layout will shorten the length of the email.   I think there's a lot of opportunity here to create a great-looking portfolio of the equipment you are selling! ... View more

Hi @user70365. Congrats on sending out your first campaign!   This is a good, simple introduction to the services your company provides. You made sure to include your logo and use colors that represent your branding and don't overpower your messaging.    I would suggest moving your buttons to the bottom of the email. This will create a triangle layout where your contact will read your messaging and then their eyes will be funneled down to the buttons directing them to download a document or contact you. I think there's an opportunity to include one image from your website to break up the white space and make the email more visual. On your website, I immediately see that your business is advertised as the "most capable fire protection company in New England". Make that stand out in your email! It can be put into a headline block at the top of your email. Also, you'll want to have your logo linked to your website.   I think these tips will be good to keep in mind as you continue to use our marketing tools. ... View more

Hey @ohoffer! Thanks for coming in. It's great to hear that you have a high open rate and you're ready to take that next step to increase engagement. I'd be happy to take a look at your newsletter.   First: some things I like. Something you're doing already to shorten your newsletter is the usage of "Read More" links. The hyperlinks are clearly defined by having them be underlined, bolded, and a different color from the rest of the text. A small change I'd make is having your toolbar at the top reflect the styling to have bolded text. Your sections are broken out so I know exactly what I'll be reading in that area. The colors match your branding to create a consistent experience for those who visit your website and receive your emails.   Since you brought up engagement, let's tackle that. During the webinar, we talked about calls to action. Of course, we wouldn't want to overload this newsletter with buttons. Think "What is the most important message I want my readers to see?" Do you see any patterns in your reporting with the types of links that are being clicked (class schedules, resources, etc)? Those should influence your CTAs. At the top of the email, you are promoting a live stream that needs an RSVP. That's a good place to have a button to remind your contacts they need to sign up to attend. Since you have a lot of events to promote, you may want to consider pointing your contacts towards the event calendar you have on your website instead of listing the events out individually as this takes up a lot of space. If there is a special event or a new class you'd like to share, this can be called out in the email.   Also a quick hit: the social media buttons are really small. Those can definitely be increased in size.   Those are a few of the tips that I have. I hope these come in handy! ... View more

Hi @Creatchy! Thanks for coming over to the Template Feedback board! Glad to have you here.   The promotion of music and the arts is special to me. I love receiving emails that let me know about shows that are happening in my area. Your email lets your contacts know what entertainment is being offered this weekend and lets readers know that the experience is limited, whether it's the number of tickets left or that there's only one show they can attend during a short time period. There are also callouts to have your contacts follow you on social media and how to find your music if they aren't able to attend your shows.   When reviewing email design, I immediately look at branding. Your website has a fun color scheme with dark grey, blue, and pink. I'd think about carrying this design over into your emails to create a consistent experience. We've introduced something called BrandKit that quickly pulls your website branding (logos, colors, and photos) and creates a theme for you to use in your emails. Bright yellow text tends to not read well on most background colors. I'd also not recommend using a lot of caps lock and create a better balance between upper and lower case lettering. A really cool feature we've brought in is adjusting the width of your emails. Smaller-width emails appear longer and require more scrolling. This can be adjusted by clicking the pencil in the very top left corner of your email. If you don't see this option, contact our Support team so they can review your template.   Overall, your email is exciting to read. I'm getting a lot of energy from it. I'm excited to see what you'll be sending out next! ... View more

Hi @ciarag5! Thanks for coming over to the Template Feedback board.    I like the professional feel of your email and the inclusion of those all-important redirect links to have your contacts learn more about the case studies you reference. This helps to cut down on the length of your email and also drives traffic to your website. Your hyperlinks are clear as they are underlined and a different color from the rest of the text. There's also a nice balance between the amount of text and images you have. I didn't feel like I was reading a wall of text.   Something that was mentioned during the webinar was the importance of branding, which includes your logo. I wasn't able to find your logo until I scrolled to the very bottom of the email. If you can upload a file of your logo, I suggest inserting it right at the top of your email and linking it to your website. Instead of using hyperlinked text as your section dividers, maybe you could turn them into a colored headline using the headline block. The dark green used towards the bottom of your email on the circular images would fit nicely as a background color and make the sections stand out more. Because of the light outer background and the white inner background color, try adding a very thin colored border similar to how you have the "News & Insights" page designed on your website.   Overall, this was a great example of what you've done so far. After you make changes, keep an eye on your reporting, especially those clicks. If you have some spare time, check out our Be A Marketer podcast which covers a wide variety of topics.   Also, feel free to share your knowledge and feedback with other Constant Contact users on the Template Feedback board! ...

Hi @AudreyW998 I'm glad to see you came over from the webinar. Thanks for providing us with your email.   Right at the top, you introduce what type of email this is: a newsletter. Your contacts are told what to expect as they continue to read. I like the letter from the Dean since it makes me feel welcome and he's probably known to your readers. You also show a lot of faces which is a great way to give your email a more personal feel.   That being said, I would recommend changing the font type. In the webinar, the presenters mentioned that serif fonts (which you are using) are harder to read on a screen and I am experiencing that as I read your email. The headlines can be left as serif but try switching the body text to a sans-serif font. You can read more about serif and sans-serif fonts on our blog. Also, your hyperlinks were a bit difficult for me to find. Bolding the link is a way to make it stand out from the rest of the body but I recommend making it underlined as well which tends to make people more aware of the link itself. Just some thoughts!   Overall, your email has brand consistency and it gives your contacts an inside view of what's happening at the college, even if they aren't able to be on campus or are not able to keep up to date on all that is happening. Great job! ... View more
