The Best 10 Personalized Email Templates by Industry and Use Case

We’ve got a few marketing secrets here at Litmus… and maybe your email team does, too.

We talk a lot about designing and coding emails from scratch. And we do a lot of that! But we also… sometimes… occasionally… use email templates. 😅

46% of email marketers have up to five emails in production at any given time. Sound familiar? And with teams averaging about 2 weeks to produce a single email, that’s a lot of concepting, designing, writing, HTML coding, reviewing, and testing in a short amount of time.

There’s nothing wrong with taking a few strategic shortcuts for your email marketing campaigns with an email template. But where email marketers go wrong is leaving templates exactly as they are, making them pretty blah campaigns—potentially sacrificing better business outcomes for speed.

Why Your Website is Valuable

This headline recently appeared in Tech Crunch. Read the full article here.

“Meta cuts off third-party access to Facebook Groups, leaving developers and customers in disarray”

Once again, with no notice or explanation, Facebook changed the rules on how you can use Groups.  Users have no voice. They have no alternatives. They have no control.

Any social media platform can change their software, their function, their pricing, etc. at their discretion.  You are using the software at their pleasure.  It’s irritating if they are PART of your marketing plan. It can be devastating if they ARE your marketing plan.

A safer process is to make your website your marketing hub.

Is It Really Necessary to Log Out of Online Accounts? Or Can I Just Close My Browser?

This is a question with a lot of maybe answers!! Let’s see if we can break it down so you can take the best actions possible.

Why?  Think for a moment how much information about you a hacker would have if they accessed your email account.  Bank info. Credit card processer for your business. Doctor info. Client information. Friends lists. Employee info. Employer info. Amazon account. Travel plans. Children’s schedules.

Public Computers

If you are using a public computer (library, hotel, etc.) ABSOLUTELY log out of every program, every time.  Best option: Don’t use a public computer ever for highly sensitive work like your bank, your doctor’s portal, Amazon.)

Your Family Computer / Shared Office Computer

You have multiple people sharing a computer. Yes! Log out of every program every time. Don’t take the risk of someone getting access to your accounts. They may not intend to mess things up but they could accidentally cause you big problems.

Your Personal Computer/Tablet/Phone

Should the devise be stolen, the thief can open it up and use any app that is open. Yes, you have a password to open the devise. Do you think a good hacker can’t get past your password? Don’t place any money on that bet!

And since when did you plan to lose your device? No, it’s one of those nasty accidents of life.

A hacker can also access your Internet connection and waylay the session cookie to get into the app. Some session cookies are predictable so hackers can generate possible cookies!  This is one of the common uses of malware on a computer. Even a friendly person using your wireless network can pick up on session cookies.

BEST Practice

Log out of every online software every time.

If you think logging in just takes tooooooo much time, use a Password Manager like Last Pass. It will autofill login information for you from a desktop, tablet or phone.

The Federal Trade Commission estimates that it can take approximately six months and 200 hours of work to recover from an identity theft. This estimation is based on the amount of work needed to follow the necessary steps to ensure the victim is not responsible for the debt incurred.

Don’t be a victim! Log out!
