A decade ago, if you would have told someone that a few years down the line, they would be able to access emails on their wristwatches, they would have probably clutched on to their sides, rolling on the floor in a fit of laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, look who\u2019s had the last laugh! Desktops, mobiles, tablets, smartwatches\u2014 now, we\u2019re able to consume emails across all these devices. But, this scenario also presents businesses with a conundrum\u2014that of figuring out the ideal email template size. There are no two ways about it; cracking the email template size code is crucial for determining the success of your campaigns.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, as many as 79% <\/a>of subscribers admit they would delete an email if they are unable to consume it on a mobile device. With the number of mobile email users growing exponentially with every passing day, failing to design responsive templates<\/a> can deal a body blow to your overall reach and visibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do responsive emails work? They use CSS media queries that make images and fixed-width tables on desktops compatible with smaller mobile screens. They do so by first monitoring the screen size in which the email is currently opened and then disabling different sets of rules accordingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
