Why Should I Use a Newsletter Tool for My Emails?

Marketing pros know the answer, of course, but people setting up their first newsletter might ask themselves: How do I create a newsletter with a normal email client like gmail, GMX or Outlook? The answer is: you don’t. A program like Outlook is not suitable for designing a newsletter. Although Outlook can also be used to send text together with images, these are displayed differently for each recipient. As a result, lines slip and where and whether images are displayed at all is a gamble.

When creating your emails with a newsletter tool like CleverReach it is always displayed in your subscriber’s inbox as intended.
