Engaging Email Design Improves Engagement

Whether you’re sending a one-off email, or putting together an automated campaign, email design is a critical component of effective communication in the digital age. A well-crafted email serves as the initial gateway to engaging your members and ideally leaves a lasting impression that reflects your brand identity. Clear, aesthetically pleasing layouts enhance readability, ensuring that your message is easily understood. Thoughtful design also contributes to higher engagement rates, increased click-throughs, and ultimately, better conversion outcomes.

We’ve incorporated successful email design elements – based on almost 20 years of experience in the association industry – into our Higher Logic Thrive Marketing platform to help you easily create beautiful, effective emails.

Below, our team of designers picked out some favorites to give you inspiration for your own messages. These emails, created by or for customers with Higher Logic Thrive, span across campaign types, from a monthly newsletter to event registration.
