1 Know your purpose

Before you start designing your newsletter, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve with it. Do you want to inform, educate, entertain, or persuade your audience? How do you want them to feel and act after reading your newsletter? Your purpose will guide your content, tone, and layout choices. For example, if you want to educate your audience about a complex topic, you might use a simple and clean design with clear headings, bullet points, and visuals. If you want to entertain your audience with humorous stories, you might use a more colorful and playful design with catchy headlines, emojis, and gifs.

2 Segment your audience

Not all of your subscribers have the same interests, needs, and preferences. If you want to increase your open rates, click-through rates, and retention rates, you need to segment your audience and tailor your newsletters accordingly. Segmentation means dividing your audience into smaller groups based on criteria such as demographics, behavior, preferences, or stage in the customer journey. For example, you might segment your audience by location, industry, purchase history, or engagement level. Then, you can design different versions of your newsletter for each segment, using relevant content, language, and offers.

Segmentations can be a pain, but is oh-so-worth it in the end. By segmenting, you can write to specific groups! For example, if your organization covers a vast number of topics: you can target that audience for one topic and a different audience for another. You can segment based on who's read your newsletters before or who even has clicked an article of interest. Each audience can get a different photo, a different copy, and different links! By segmenting, you're showing that you're getting to know your audience and what they like.

3 Use a responsive design

More than half of all emails are opened on mobile devices, so you need to make sure your newsletter looks good and functions well on any screen size. A responsive design is one that adapts to the device that your reader is using, adjusting the layout, fonts, images, and buttons accordingly. A responsive design will improve your user experience, readability, and accessibility. To create a responsive design, you can use an email template that is already optimized for mobile devices, or you can use tools such as media queries, fluid grids, and flexible images to customize your own design.

4 Optimize your subject line and preview text

Your subject line and preview text are the first things that your readers will see when they receive your newsletter. They will determine whether your readers will open your newsletter or ignore it. Therefore, you need to optimize them to catch your readers' attention and curiosity. A good subject line and preview text should be concise, clear, relevant, and enticing. They should also match the content and tone of your newsletter. For example, if your newsletter is about the latest trends in your industry, you might use a subject line like "What's hot in [industry] right now?" and a preview text like "Don't miss these 5 insights from the experts".

5 Balance text and visuals

Text and visuals are both important elements of your newsletter design. Text provides information, context, and direction for your readers. Visuals provide interest, emotion, and reinforcement for your text. You need to balance text and visuals to create a newsletter that is informative, engaging, and attractive. A good balance will depend on your purpose, audience, and content, but a general rule is to use short and scannable paragraphs, subheadings, and bullet points for your text, and high-quality, relevant, and branded images, videos, or graphics for your visuals. You should also use white space, contrast, and alignment to create a clear and coherent hierarchy and layout.

6 Include a clear call to action

The ultimate goal of your newsletter is to get your readers to take a specific action that aligns with your purpose. Whether you want them to read a blog post, watch a video, download a resource, sign up for a webinar, or buy a product, you need to include a clear and compelling call to action (CTA) in your newsletter. A CTA is a button, link, or text that tells your readers what you want them to do next and why they should do it. A good CTA should be visible, concise, action-oriented, and benefit-focused. For example, instead of using a generic CTA like "Click here", you might use a more specific and persuasive CTA like "Get your free ebook now".

Emails should be more visually focused whether it is design or video. Make it engaging and easy for the reader to interact and act. This will help establish the key objective of email - get the reader to open, read and act in the way you want them to.
