   • Subject is the subject of the email your recipients will receive. A huge amount of email recipients decide whether or not to open an email based on the Subject line alone. That's why it's so important to craft subject lines that are compelling enough to get people to click through.
   • Newsletter template - Select a template according to your theme and your theme color. Example: Craft Fresh Blue. The first and most important element are the materials (photos and texts), which you will have to prepare before creating a newsletter.

Note

When preparing images for your newsletter, keep in mind that they will appear in the same size in which you upload them. For example, if you would like to use a 250x250 image in your newsletter, be sure to upload one with the same size and ratio.
