Notes de l'éditeur
- Tip #1: avoid using too much text Think about it – do you want to read long and complex messages on your phone? When you’re on the go? No. Which means neither do your customers or supporters. Do you want to read a message like the one here? [click to build] Probably not… What you want is to see something more like [click to build] this…the result of some basic considerations as you build your message: Start to re-think your content. Long-form content (think newsletters that have more than a couple of short, to-the-point paragraphs) doesn’t work for mobile readers. So look at the content you’re building and start to re-think it: could it be condensed? Can a picture tell the story better? Can you turn one newsletter into a series by cutting it into pieces? If you have longer, or more complex content or assets you want to share (like a product guide, or new regulations for your clients or a research report that supporters of your non-profit would be interested in), send an email with a clear call-to-action that directs people to where that asset lives (on your website, blog, etc. [click to next slide]
- Tip #2: avoid using multiple columns Prior to the rise of mobile and mobile communication, emails had started to take on an almost website-like feel – with multiple columns and navigation elements similar to what you find on websites. But with mobile communications driving content to be more focused, and also just to fit a more physically condensed space, multiple columns cause problems. Here are two examples of what can happen: [click to build] In this first one, you can see how the mobile email client has tried to figure out what to do with the multiple columns…and it has [click to build] squished them together in a less than optimal way. [click to build] in this example, the email has been forced into a single column [click to build], but clearly that process has also created an ungainly single column that will make the email practically unreadable. [click to next slide]
- Tip #3: clear and easy calls to action You want to make it easy for your readers to take an action, to do something that keeps them connected to you – come to your website or event registration page, click through to a white paper you wrote, learn more about your services. You can increase the odds of them taking that action by carefully thinking through the design of your emails. Let’s look at two examples of how not to do it, and one way to make it easier. [click to build] in this example, there are calls to action, but they’re [click to build] hard to see, and would be even harder to get a finger or thumb to hit them easily. [click to build] in this one, the calls to action are probably easier to get clicked on, but because they’re [click to build] bunched together, the likelihood that the reader will be able to click on the one they want is lower. [click to build] here’s one that works…notice how the call to action is [click to build] a button that is clearly separated from the rest of the content, both visually and spatially? This will make it easier for the reader to click on it. You should also consider making your images clickable…they’re ready-made buttons waiting to be clicked! A note here on buttons versus text links. What you really want to do is make it easy for your readers to take the action you suggest. Whether you give them large text links (with clear separation from surrounding text) or easy to tap buttons, make sure that there is no confusion about what action you want your reader to take: learn more? Register for an event? Make a donation? Make it incredibly easy… You should also be thinking about where that button or link takes them – will they be dumped into a screen that is hard to see on a mobile device? That could derail the entire experience for them… [click to next slide]
- Tip #4: avoid using tiny fonts This one would seem to be pretty self-explanatory…but is no less important. [click to build] here’s a sample with 9-point font. Yes, a lot of text fits on the screen, but who can read it? People will need to pinch-to-zoom the text, and then have to scroll around. They’re more likely to delete the message, as well as unsubscribe from future small-fonted emails. [click to build] this one is a bit better, as the font starts to reach a minimum size that we’d recommend (11 points for body text and 22 points for headlines), and starts to bring greater contrast between the text and the background. But it’s still hard to read. [click to next slide]
