Imagine putting a great deal of effort in designing a flawless email template PSD but not being able to translate it into an equally impressive HTML email.
Urghh!
Email development seems to be one of the most technique-sensitive subjects out of all the steps involved in email marketing.
Let’s try to understand why email development can get so daunting, even for expert professionals.
Difficulties Encountered in Email Development
1. Inability to recreate a pixel-perfect email template
Emails look more beautiful when they are pixel-perfect and you pay attention to every pixel to bring out a sharp and clean look. No pixel is aliased or muddied by using compression algorithms.
For example, create a pixel-perfect button in Photoshop and scale it up or down. By scaling it, you have created interpolation between the pixels and anti-aliasing. Consequently, the colors become muddy and it ends up losing the sharpness.
The difference is so obvious between these two images.
If you export the scaled image to a JPG, it can lead to various compression artifacts. The pixels are disturbed, and as a result, the colors are muddy and lack sharpness.
When every pixel gets used to its best potential, there is no unnecessary aliasing or muddying the images. Many a time, email developers fail to create pixel-perfect templates, thereby hampering the visual aesthetics of the email and the subscriber’s experience as well.
2. Difficulty in deploying the emails on time
Owing to the long approval process and complicated email development techniques, it might happen that you cannot deploy the emails on time. For instance, Suppose you want to send out an attractive email campaign with GIF animation for the 4th of July. Now, if you fail to complete the design and development on time, you might miss out on sending on the scheduled date. This might affect the number of conversions and thwart business growth.
3. Experiencing a resource crunch
You would need enough professionals for the smooth and timely execution of email operations, including email development. Companies might face a resource crunch, especially during the Holiday Season, which is the busiest time of the year for email marketers and when several employees are on leave or when an experienced professional resigns and moves on to greener pastures.
4. Lack of expertise
Lack of expertise is another grave problem that companies face, when it comes to email development. Not all HTML developers would be able to develop emails in line with the latest trends. Many brands have started using APNG instead of GIFs and AMP instead of other interactivity in their emails. If you do not have professionals who are well-versed with these technologies, you might get behind in the competition.
