**Additional Email Resources & Best Practices
34
Please ensure image files are optimized to the web before submitting. All files must be RGB and 72dpi.
35
Do not include your opt-out language in the creative - we will provide our own opt-out process to the final email.
36
- Messaging should be oriented to the 5280 readerand present a special offer/strong call-to-action
37
- Place your call-to-action toward the top of your design. This ensures the most critical part of your message is visible in recipients' preview pane.
38
- Focus on a single offer. Too many choices reduces the effectiveness of the message.
39
- remember the mobile user. More than half of all email is opened on a mobile device. Ensure your landing page is mobile-friendly.
