Email Marketing On The Decline? – Time To Go Responsive.

As more and more campaigns appeared, these rates peaked and began to decline year by year, quickened by the addition of other communication channels. However, email is still seen as an important lynchpin in many companies’ communication strategies, our clients included.

Adding in the move to mobile communications, with statistics that show that we are trailblazing in the UK, where smartphones outsell PC’s and laptops, how do we address the requirement to deliver emails that are legible for the small screen?

Responsive design provides the solution, with a tailored viewing experience based on the screen size of the user’s device. Optimising email messages to be readable on fixed, laptop, tablet and mobile screens pays off – customers using responsive email templates have enjoyed higher click through rates across all devices.

Unsurprisingly, responsive emails are particularly effective on mobile users.

Industry research from MailChimp, the leading email marketing service provider, found that unique clicks amongst mobile users for responsive campaigns rose from 2.7% to 3.1% - a nearly 15% increase. Responsive design also resulted in an increase in total clicks across desktop, tablet and mobile.
