Uplers Show Love for Shutterstock
The Uplers love how Shutterstock, ‘a pioneer in creative innovation’ keeps revolutionizing its platform. And as avid users and admirers, the Uplers have crafted a representative sample email template using the brand Shutterstock as an interactive email template illustration with ‘SEARCH IN EMAIL‘, or rather a Mailable Microsite.

Herein, users will be able to search for their favorite stock images from the email itself and get directed to the website of the brand! Instead of a two-step approach, of clicking on the email and then searching in the web browser, subscribers can now do all of that within just one step. Here’s a graphical representation of how traditional emails cater to search and how the industry is moving towards interactive mailable microsites.
Harness the Power of Mailable Microsites!
