When an email contains something other than plain text, it increases reader engagement. Animated GIFs look exciting, grab attention and sets your email apart from the others in the inbox. Obviously, when all is said and done, more opens and more engagement in an email deployment means a more successful campaign and increased revenue.

What are some other ways to improve your email campaigns?

Overall, email is such a powerful tool that can help you get your marketing message out, to almost, an unlimited number of people. No matter how you are marketing to your audience an effective campaign is one that makes it clear that you fully understand what drives consumers.
