Email Marketing Term
What is Email Template?
A pre-designed, reusable email layout that maintains brand consistency and speeds up creation.
Email templates provide structure while allowing content customization. They ensure brand consistency and reduce production time.
Template types: - **Marketing templates**: Newsletters, promotions, announcements - **Transactional templates**: Order confirmations, receipts - **Automation templates**: Welcome series, cart abandonment
Good templates are: - Mobile-responsive - Compatible across email clients - On-brand (colors, fonts, imagery) - Modular (swappable content blocks) - Accessible (alt text, proper headings)
Most ESPs offer template builders. Custom HTML templates offer more control but require developer resources.
Examples

- Promotional template with hero image and CTA button
- Modular template with drag-and-drop blocks
