Call to action: Every email should be designed to mobilize users to perform an action, but the litmus test is to have a clear and simple message, a well-placed call to action, so that the message can be seen without a lot of scrolling, and to reduce as much as possible the movement of the user’s cursor in order to perform the action quickly and easily.

6. Mobile friendly: Emails must be designed and developed so that the message is correctly captured from any device. Nowadays, we must think about web and mobile, provide additional hints for each, considering the dynamics in which we live are not an option, it is a completely relevant necessity for the experience of any user.

7. Test before sending: This is the point where you can be a user and objectively analyze whether the content, images, links, and message is correct and fulfills the proposed objective. In addition, it will allow you to find points of improvement for future communications and make the necessary adjustments to achieve a good impact.
