Their primary findings. The most successful emails tend to:

1. Use simple layouts.
2. Keep the copy concise.
3. Repeatedly test what is sent.

It’s easy to get distracted creating a complex email. It takes more time and your audience probably doesn’t value it. And keep in mind people read emails on dozens of different devices. So simple wins. Images also help emails, but only if images are in correct balance with quantity of words.

Happy Emailing!
