How to Grab Attention in Your Contacts’ Inbox

You’re more likely to get high engagement from an eye-catching email that uses more images and fewer words.

ActivePipe Head of Design, Adam Boal, talks about the the importance of good design in real estate, becuase of how it can improve a customer’s feelings towards your communications and brand.

“Humans are highly visual creatures, and an image can call to mind all manner of emotions and responses.”

Basically, he’s saying a well designed email makes a good impression so that you can build a positive relationship with your contacts.

That’s why we’ve improved two new features to make it easier and quicker to customise your emails.

Turn every email into clickbait with Property Image Customisation and SmartFeeds Favourites!
