Email Template Tip from the Email Marketing Experts

Please help! (from a client) – My images in the editor preview look fine but when they arrive in my inbox they are blown up and they distort the rest of my newsletter. Is it something in the tables of my template layout? Thanks for your help!

Hi Client,
I looked over your e-newsletter and I don’t believe that it’s because of the tables. I noticed that you sized the images with code, and that is what is causing everything to blow out. If you look at the newsletter the images at the bottom all look larger, and that is what is causing the tables to expand. For example in your code image X is set to be 161 px wide, but in reality it’s 788px wide. The best rule of thumb is to size the images to the desired width and height before you load them into the system, this can be done in photoshop. If you do not have photoshop there is a free tool online at http://www.webresizer.com.
