Designing Emails for Mobile: the Secret!
The online edition of BtoB magazine recently ran an article on email marketing secrets and lies about mobile marketing. OK, really there was only one secret and one lie.
The biggest takeaway for me was the secret: that you can easily code your emails to render properly no matter which mobile device your recipient has, an iPhone, BlackBerry or Droid. According to the article, coding can make the email appear correctly no matter the smartphone by “automatically adjust the magnification of the design for the appropriate width of the end user’s viewing device.”
And making emails render right no matter the device definitely falls into the realm of email marketing best practices!

The lie? The article claims linking a cell phone number to an email address is easy to do by asking for both pieces of information. (And linking them is important so you know who’s on your email list and also on your SMS list.) Not five minutes before reading this article, I registered for a webinar and submitted both my phone number and email address as part of the registration process…and didn’t even think about it. Could it really be that easy?
