When we start an email campaign, the first decision that hits the mind is not whether to focus on the subject line or the offer or the format. Should this go out as a designed, branded email or a simple, no-frills message that looks like it came from a colleague? Am I right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose the wrong format, it can cost you not just money but all the metrics as well. A well-designed HTML email can land in spam because of its code. On the other hand, even a plain text email can also look too lazy next to a polished competitor email. Many marketers choose a format out of habit instead of thinking about what works best for their audience. And then, they wonder why open and click rates stay the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no worries! After reading this guide on HTML vs plain text email<\/strong>, you will be able to avoid this mistake. You will know here what each format actually is, real HTML & plain text email examples, where each one wins, and how to decide which one your next campaign needs. So read it out completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
