Sometimes a writer indeed faces difficulty in writing. Maybe, there is not sufficient research material, or they feel lazy to write. In fact, email marketing for small businesses is not easy because it is possible that they do not have the required money to hire content creators. What to do in these situations?

Do not worry, because MailPod presents some interesting ideas to create engaging emails without investing plenty of time in writing. 

Info-graphics, Videos, and GIFs

Visuals indeed help that visuals increase engagements. For example:

• Posts with images on Facebook get 2.3 times more engagement as compared to the posts without images.
• Visual garners result in 150% more retweets than tweets without visual garners.

If you want to keep your subscribers concentration intact, then use images. Visual Content attracts more attraction than the text content. You can use images to tell about your offer or purpose. Make sure to use relevant images because a non descriptive image is like a “Holes filled with Mud in Rain”. An image should be 

• Visually compelling
• Optimized
• Have Responsive Design

When you use an image that is out of the topic, it can lead to aggression in subscribers and they can mark you spam or even block you. So, use relevant info-graphics.

The information can also be represented with the help of videos as shown below:

GIFs are the best way to engage your subscribers. With the help of GIFs, you can greet the subscriber in interesting form without using texts like 

“Hello, user,

Our team wishes you Happy Holi”

Instead, you can send them relevant GIFs to make your Email more engaging.
