Put the Ho Ho Ho into your seasonal email marketing. Our designer Santa and his helpers have whipped up some festive new templates for you
They are free and this is where we show you how to have fun with them.
So, Ho Ho How do I get them?
If you don't have a GraphicMail account, it's about time to get one and become one of the cool kids on the block. If you already are one of the cool kids, then just sign into your GraphicMail account and, once there, click on ‘Newsletters’ then >> ‘Select Templates’.
All templates are categorised, and you’ll find the templates for Christmas peeking out of Santa’s bag at the top of our library.
To select your chosen template, tick the check box and click “add templates to my account”. When you’ve done that a green message will appear at the top of the page, to notify you that the template has been successfully uploaded. In the menu, click on ‘Newsletter’ > then > ‘Create’. Type in a name for your newsletter and select your new template from the dropdown.
Want different images in your Christmas templates – Here’s how !
First we need to get you into the editor! Choose the newsletter with your Christmas template and click ‘edit’. Place your cursor in any image that then click on it, and then click on the ‘insert image’ button in the toolbar. A window will pop-up displaying the attributes and current settings of your image. Width, Height, Alignment, image border and vertical spacing are the changes that can be made to the image.
There is also a feature In the popup window that allows you to replace/insert and upload images from your hard drive into your newsletter and straight from your image folder. Just click "update" to complete the process.
I want a totally different template - can I design my own?
Although this could be seen as a bit like wrapping your own present, of course you can. If you don’t like surprises and you’re in the know, you are more than welcome to design your own template. You can create a template in HTML (if you’re an old hand use Notepad, or an HTML software like Dreamweaver if you need a little help), or you can upload your template directly from Word. To achieve this just design your entire newsletter from within a Word document and import it into your account >> Newsletters >> import/export. Under the "Get HTML from" section, click on the button ‘Word’ and browse for your doc. It’s a kind of magic….
Knowledge is power !
Did you know that you can choose from over 100 FREE HTML newsletter templates for a wide variety of different occasions, seasons and industries
Or………why not have a unique template designed by our in-house experts – find out how.
