Today, mobile devices and email are inseparable. Marketers need to deliver emails that consistently look great on any screen size. Here are 3 reasons why creating better mobile email experiences should be central to all your email marketing efforts.

2. 3 Reasons Why Responsive Email Really Matters to Marketers
Today, mobile devices and their email accounts are inseparable. So why aren’t more
marketers delivering emails that consistently look great on any screen size?
Here are 3 reasons why creating better mobile email experiences should be
central to all your email marketing efforts:
1. Your buyers have gone mobile. Your emails should, too.
Over half of all emails are now being opened on mobile devices. That’s up 330% in the
last two years. Desktop email client engagement has dropped 44% over the same period.
So if your emails are not optimized for mobile, you are not maximizing the email
experience for people.
2. Give your brand the (one) shot it deserves.
You might think people use their mobile devices to skim and bookmark emails for later
reading on their desktop. Think again. 97% of all email interactions (opens, clicks etc.)
happen on the device upon which the email is first opened. In other words, you have to
create great brand experiences for both mobile devices and desktops ­– and everything in
between! There are no second chances.
Email can be a one-shot opportunity to make-or-break your brand. Consider this: after
receiving an email that’s not optimized for mobile viewing, 63% of people delete the
email immediately. The consequences of a poor mobile email experience can be disastrous.
3. Stand out from your competition.
Mobile email engagement is a trend that’s not going away, but marketers have been slow
to respond. One report estimates only 1 in 10 marketers have adopted an advanced
approach to optimizing email marketing for mobile devices. Another found just 2 in 10
marketers plan to start optimizing their emails for mobile viewers in the next year.
If you’re looking for a way to differentiate your customer experience from that of your
competitors, now would be a great time to take the lead on mobile email optimization —
and leave your competitors in the dust.

3. Responsive Web Design and Email Marketing
There’s been a lot of talk about Responsive Web Design (RWD) lately. This approach is
quickly becoming the industry standard for delivering the right web experience for the
right screen size at the right time.
Here’s the good news: responsive design isn’t limited to just your websites or landing
pages. The same design and coding techniques (namely the use of CSS media queries) can
be used to make your emails look great on any sized screen too. Like this responsive
email from Domino’s Pizza:
Responsive emails are smart enough to deliver
different experiences for different sized screens, all from
one set of code. Notice how the layout switches from 2 columns to 1 for smaller screens.
They’re also capable of hiding or relocating certain content elements under certain
situations, helping focus mobile viewers’ attention on what’s most important when screen
real estate gets tight.
Three new options – scalable, flexible and responsive email – allow you to deliver the right
email experience on any sized screen, from smartphones to desktops and everything in
between.
