TABLE OF CONTENTS

Why Plain Text?

Plain text emails offer a simple, personal approach similar to messages from your personal inbox. They focus on the message itself with minimal branding and design.
They have multiple use cases, some of them are -
  • Text heavy communications use big text snippets. This editor ensures symmetric readability across all devices.
  • Personalized emails like welcome emails or apology emails are still preferred to be direct and not design-heavy

What do the metrics say?

Various researches have shown that the probability of a customer interacting with a plain text email is almost twice as high as that of a design-intensive email. 

Benefits:

  • Simplicity: Easy to understand and use.
  • Personalization: Feels like a direct communication.
  • Compatibility: Fewer rendering issues across email clients. This looks great on any device
