Imagine sending out an email campaign and watching your click-through rates triple. Sounds like a marketer’s dream, right? A well-designed button can make this a reality. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about guiding your readers effortlessly to the action you want them to take.
Studies have shown that visually appealing buttons can increase click-through rates by up to 300%.
The Struggle with Coding
Before tools like ours, creating custom email buttons was a task reserved for those fluent in HTML and CSS. Inline styles, compatibility issues across various email clients, and the sheer time investment made it a daunting endeavor.
But let’s be honest—spending hours coding a button isn’t the best use of your time when you’re juggling multiple responsibilities.
Alternatives Aren’t Always Ideal
You might be thinking, “Can’t I just use an image or the default buttons in my email platform?” You could, but image-based buttons can suffer from loading issues and may not display properly for all recipients. Default buttons often lack the customization needed to align with your brand, leaving you with something that feels generic and uninspiring.
