[Nice to meet you! I'm Rebecca-Chief Brand Officer at Flodesk. I'm sharing my top 3 design hacks to make your emails stand out] ( https://app.flodesk.com/emails/templates?utm_campaign=onboardingv2&utm_content=day3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=lifecycle )

[1. Keep it short - Your audience already has inboxes and browsers stuffed with noise. Stand out by being concise.] ( https://app.flodesk.com/emails/templates?utm_campaign=onboardingv2&utm_content=day3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=lifecycle )

[Give yourself a break! I see emails going out that have enough content to last for months. Split long emails into several.] ( https://app.flodesk.com/emails/templates?utm_campaign=onboardingv2&utm_content=day3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=lifecycle )

[2. Add spacing - My secret to designing delightful emails and sales pages? Place 20-40 px spacers between each block.] ( https://app.flodesk.com/emails/templates?utm_campaign=onboardingv2&utm_content=day3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=lifecycle )

[All Flodesk templates have spacing and padding already. If in doubt, follow the template.] ( https://app.flodesk.com/emails/templates?utm_campaign=onboardingv2&utm_content=day3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=lifecycle )

[Optimize your call to action. Include clear, short CTAs, proven to have significant impact on your email click through rates] ( https://app.flodesk.com/emails/templates?utm_campaign=onboardingv2&utm_content=day3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=lifecycle )

[Long button CTAs tend to wrap around on mobile, causing your button to look broken. The shorter, the better!] ( https://app.flodesk.com/emails/templates?utm_campaign=onboardingv2&utm_content=day3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=lifecycle )

[Start designing] ( https://app.flodesk.com/emails/templates?utm_campaign=onboardingv2&utm_content=day3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=lifecycle )

[I can't wait to see what you make. - Rebecca] ( https://app.flodesk.com/emails/templates?utm_campaign=onboardingv2&utm_content=day3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=lifecycle )
