How to send high-performing emails in half the time
Amandine Liepmann is an expert-vetted, top 1% email marketer on Upwork. She's also the Founder of LISTBURST.
However, creating a new email from scratch for each campaign can be time-consuming and inefficient. This is where email templates come in.
In this blog post, I'll discuss what email templates are and why business owners use them to reach their target audience and nurture potential customers.
What is an email template?
An email template for Mailchimp is a pre-designed email that can be customized and reused for various campaigns. Email templates are designed to be flexible, allowing businesses to modify them based on their specific needs and branding.
As a professional, I've found the most successful email templates are drag-and-drop. When there are no custom graphics to update, you can swap out elements like photos and text to make updating and sending emails a breeze.
Most email templates include customizable elements such as images, text, buttons, and social media icons. These elements can be rearranged and modified to suit the needs of a particular campaign.
LISTBURST's industry-specific templates pull from my experience working with professionals in those areas. They also have a tutorial teaching you how to customize the template to make it your own.
Why Use Email Templates for Email Marketing?
⏱️ Saves Time
Creating an email from scratch can be time-consuming, especially if you're not a professional designer. By using email templates, businesses can save significant time and effort.
Email templates allow businesses to create professional-looking emails in a fraction of the time it would take to design an email from scratch. This means businesses can send more emails and run more campaigns, leading to better results.
✅ Consistent Branding
Consistent branding is crucial for any business, and email templates can help to ensure that all marketing emails have a consistent look and feel. Using pre-designed email templates allows businesses to maintain a consistent brand identity across all email campaigns.
Consistent branding can help to build brand recognition and trust with your audience. When your subscribers receive an email that looks and feels familiar, they're more likely to engage with your content and take action.

Email templates can also help to improve engagement with your audience. Sending regular, consistent emails creates a relationship with your subscriber.

🎨 Easy to Customize
One of the most significant advantages of email templates is that they're easy to customize. Most email templates are designed to be flexible, allowing businesses to modify them based on their specific needs and branding.
Customization options can include changing the color scheme, adding or removing elements, and updating the copy. Businesses can create unique email campaigns tailored to their specific audience and goals.
