1. Uber
Uber’s email campaign is very simple, yet tasteful. We love how Uber gets straight to the point in their newsletters. The text is usually very brief with a clear CTA, which is perfect for subscribers who don’t have a lot of time and just skim the message. For those who want to learn more, there is always a link you can follow. Uber always send different promotions and provides an amazing map of your rides, with a detailed map of your journey.
2. Litmus
Their email marketing design is very interesting. GIFs are very popular these days and the animation that Litmus uses is eye-catching and its encourage you to continue reading the content. Litmus’s headlines do a good job while clearly saying what this email is about.
3. BuzzFeed
Newsletter became one of BuzzFeed’s top sources of traffic. They are the best at writing awesome content. Their subject lines and preview make you immediately open that email! Our favorite and the most important newsletter you can get is ‘This Week In Cats’.
Yes, it is exactly as cool as it sounds. Every Friday you can get the best and the cutest stories about cats. Those newsletters include a bunch of links and meow-worthy pictures of cats. Also, you can always ask Dumb Cat for an advice and maybe he will give you an answer in the next email. So, what would Dumb Cat say if you told him ‘I want to try to pay someone to write my paper’? We are sure that he would recommend you to get some snacks and go for it!
4. Taylor Stitch
They always think about their customers’ preferences and interests. The design is very simple, all white with really inspiring photos. They write how many pieces of each product they have, so you need to act fast as those pieces will not last long.
5. Flock
Here is another clever example of effective email marketing. Flock does a great job of sending well-designed emails. They always know when it is a good time to boost your productivity. Reminder emails are here to help you!
6. Headspace
Headspace is a guided meditation app. Have you seen the pictures they send to their subscribers? Recently, we got a cute cake that makes you want to do anything they ask!
The structure of their newsletters is good for those who don’t have time to scroll down long emails. So, it is brief and simple.
7. Starbucks
Give people a good reason to engage with your emails! Well, like Starbucks does. They know how to make you buy that half-off frappuccino! Mm, it is sweet and chill, just like you!
8. Airbnb
Their email campaign looks really good. The design has everything you want – fresh colors and clear design, a clear objective and minimalistic copy. They are doing a great job of keeping their emails very pointed with a clear CTA. In every letter, you will get guides to different cities. Like recently it was about Barcelona with its secret beaches and local places.
9. Sweetgreen
This salad company has a fresh and absolutely stunning design. They say that ‘green looks good on you!’, so go and make an order with just a few steps! When you unlock The Green Status, you get an email that you just unlocked some perks. One of these perks is a free salad on your birthday! So, if you wanted a big quinoa bowl, then it is time to treat yourself!
