Campaign Editing Best Practices

Edited

When editing your marketing campaigns, keep these best practices in mind to make sure your emails perform well, deliver reliably, and clearly communicate your message.

General Best Practices

  • Keep key information above the fold so it’s visible without scrolling — over 70% of email traffic comes from mobile, making it important to place your most critical details at the very top.

  • Use short, clear sentences for easy readability.

  • Always include a clear call-to-action (CTA), positioned high in the email for visibility.

  • Keep fonts, colors, and logos consistent with your studio brand.

Subject Lines

Strong subject lines improve open rates. Aim for fewer than 60 characters and personalize with a first name or job title dynamic field when possible. Avoid emojis and spam-like wording.

Best Practices

Avoid

“{{first_name}}, your photos are ready!”

“CHECK THIS OUT!!!”

“Senior portraits are live for {{first_name}}”

“Important update”

“Gallery closes Friday — don’t miss out”

“FREE GUARANTEED OFFER”

“Save 20% today on {{jobtitle}} portraits”

“🔥🔥 Big Sale 🔥🔥”

Graphics & Images

Clearly label your file names when uploading images so they are easy to find.

Be sure to not include special characters (%, &, *, etc) in your file names as Workflow will not allow them to upload.

  • Keep images under 1200 x 600 px

  • Compress images by 50% for faster loading on mobile and retina devices

  • Use optimized JPG or PNG formats

  • Aim for file sizes under 1MB for optimal deliverability and load times

  • Keep layouts simple — text-focused emails often perform best

Dynamic Images

  • Select Small or Medium size for dynamic images

  • Avoid using “Full Size” which can slow down load times

  • Always preview your campaign in mobile view before sending

CTA (Call-to-Action) Buttons

  • Place your CTA above the fold so it’s seen immediately

  • Use clear, action-oriented language (e.g., “Browse Products,” “View Gallery”)

  • Personalize CTAs when possible: “View {{first_name}}’s Gallery”

  • Use standard-width buttons for balance and readability

  • Choose button colors that stand out, but avoid designs that distract from the message
