These summer emails will knock your socks off and keep them off because who wears socks in the summer? ⛱
When we think of summer, we see bright, bold colors both in our emails and off our screens. Cold drinks, grilled burgers and hot dogs, hanging out by the pool, straw hats, shades, and tropical prints. Even if we’re kicking it at home during the summer, we’re searching for creative staycation ideas.
Summer emails can give us a fresh perspective on the design and content that makes readers want to click and learn more during the hottest months of the year. So, kick back with your favorite cold drink and get some inspiration from these sunsational summer emails.
