Hi all, can the template colours (boxes etc) be changed or is the layout fixed.

Many thanks, Munch

Hi Munchman,

Right now, there is only one template with the layout fixed but you can change the color of the text and the background of the text as well. In our future releases, we will be implementing more flexibility on the templates.

Anusha,

When do you anticipate the changes of the e-mail marketing templates to take affect? I would like to make a suggestion. Let the user determine the zones, the way we can in designing the website.

Maybe a poll could be created to take suggestions from users?

I hope we will be sent an e-mail when the changes take place.

Thank you,

Susan

Hi Susan,

The flexibility in the templates work is planned for our next release - we dont have the dates frozen on this as yet, Thanks for your suggestion;we have already been thinking of giving more flexibility to our users.  Yes we will keep you posted once the changes take place. Until then, keep your suggestions coming.

We have a section in the community that allows our users to give Suggestions. Please add to that list if you have any more suggestions.

thanks

I like inserting a table and using the different spaces within the table instead of the 3 zones offered on the template. With a table you can merge different columns and rows creating differnt layouts.  You can fill each space with differnt background colors if you want.  Inserting a table into zone 1 and just leaving zones 2 and 3 blank allows more creativity.

 Awesome suggestion about the tables! The colors I selected don't always show up in the final message, but the added space and flexibility is really worth it! Thanks very much!
