Share an email with a design that made you take action.

ASSIGNMENT

Put your knowledge to work! Share a marketing email that you made you take action. This could be purchasing a product, reading an article, RSVP'ing to an event, or forwarding to a friend.

When you're looking for an example of a good email, ask yourself:

Does the email have a specific purpose?
Is its content appropriate for that purpose?
Does it render correctly?
Is it mobile friendly or responsive?

Your email inbox is full of inspiration for your own email campaigns. Understanding what catches your eye will help you design effective emails in your own email marketing campaigns.
