How To Create Amazing Images For Your Email Newsletter
Everyone wants their email newsletters to be opened, read and engaged with, by as many people as possible which is why I wanted to share the importance of using amazing images in your email newsletters. The reason that you send those emails is because you want your readers to be informed of the latest and greatest coming from your website and for me the perfect hook to grab my readers attention has always been the visuals. I love creating pictures that look amazing and that have that “wow” factor. Below are some tips and tricks to help you to do just that…. grab your readers attention and ultimately to get them engaging.
The perfect hook and what grabs my attention when I am surfing and browsing on the web…are always the pictures. I love pretty pictures of pretty much anything….and the pictures are always the reason I am pulled into the many posts that I enjoy reading and learning from which is why I have focused on up’ing my game when it comes to taking my own photos. A good camera is a must and so is good lighting equipment. I happen to live in an older home that does not have an open floor plan and which can make many of the rooms in my home darker, in terms of lighting. The extra lights I purchased are the perfect tool to help me brighten any room that I am taking pictures in because in order for my pictures to pop they need to be bright, clear and crisp.
Now that you have those gorgeous pics… you need to find the resources available out there that will help you to turn those fabulous pictures into graphics that will grab your readers attention. I am always looking for the savviest options which means free resources are my “go to”. There are lots of resources out there full of tools that will help you to create engaging content for your email newsletters and so much more and many of them are free. Whether you are just starting out in blogging and social media or are a pro, blogging can be costly so finding as many free resources as possible to help you create those attention grabbing graphics is the super smart choice. I have found several free tools and resources along the way such as resources offering free fonts that are the perfect way to make your images stand out. Below are a few resources that you can use to create images that wow your readers and draw them in.
