Email Gallery Design of the Month – Jan

February 9th, 2012

Anne Summers use email marketing intelligence by “getting real”

This Anne Summers email cleverly involved their customers and prospects by inviting them to enter and/or vote for a “real” model - their “New Face”. Their subject line was: “The New Face of our New Brand”. This is an excellent example of how to get your readers interacting with your company and personally relating to your brand, eagerly anticipating the subsequent emails in your campaign.

Why not submit one of your own email designs to info@InboxVision.com – be heard and join the InboxVision community – make sure you vote on this week’s email examples! I selected the Ann Summers email from InboxVision’s “be inspired” Email Gallery, a small extract from their Email Intelligence database of a million promotional email designs.
