Our Kinetix creative team developed a sleek, modern newsletter design to complement the new site’s brushed metal interface. The new layout integrates subtle design elements from the website into a clean, easy to read newsletter layout that doesn’t compromise compatibility with the multitude of email clients in use today. (At last count, more than 42 different email clients were used by Internet users worldwide!)

A new look and a more informative editorial line-up have combined to deliver noticeable improvements in both open and click-through rates for the Auto Mall email program.

Don't lose part of your message just because you want to say it in a big way -- keep your key information front and centre by designing with the recipient in mind.
