Interesting design -- and I appreciate your taking the time to submit your ideas for this project.
Unforunately -- the design here doesn't really follow the brief requirements -- in that there is an awful lot of reverse type and pink on the page. Plus -- the title isn't the primary "pop" graphic on the page -- the pink bars get a little too much attention.
I do appreciate the submission, though, because I realize it took time nad effort to do. Thank you.
(Bthe way --we've been doing emails for years -- and have a good handle on what we need to be successful. So -- thanks for the tips.)
Disclosure: This design includes photos, illustrations or fonts created by others but I have the right to both use and resell. (?)
I've created a simple design, but a powerful one, if built and sent corretly it will render well in all e-mail clinets (i.e. Outlook, gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail etc). E-mail clients are notoriously picky about how they display HTML e-mails, it's often easy to overdesign for this medium. With e-mails you have much less control over the way they will render/display on your subscribers chosen e-mail client than with a traditional webpage, so the design needs to reflect this.
The most important thing is to make sure that the vast majority of your list will be able to view and read your e-mail.
The purpose of the e-mail is to get your potential clinets to follow a link to your main site or to pick up a phone and call you, your website and your sales team will do the selling, the e-mail is a link in this chain.
