Template - What is it?
Have you ever wondered what template means in German? Template is English and the German translation means "Template" or also "Stencil". Technically, an email template is the platform on which newsletters are created. It is edited with the help of a newsletter editor and various content elements such as images, image with text, text only or call-to-action buttons can be inserted and arranged.
And how do templates work?
A professionally designed newsletter is always an overall composition of texts, graphics, images, links and a certain arrangement of all these elements. Pure text e-mails with links would also be able to be sent with a normal e-mail program, but graphic elements would be moved somewhere depending on the e-mail client used.
In order for a newsletter to be displayed in different email programs the way it was created, a newsletter template has all these elements and their arrangement precisely defined and predefined. The different e-mail programs "recognize" the newsletter structure and display it accordingly. Your newsletter arrives as it is seen in the editor - and can thus achieve the effect you have planned.

3. Our newsletter templates are already user-optimized
A good email template is very important for the creation of a newsletter: How uncomplicated can you edit the template and how sure will the newsletter be delivered exactly as desired? Here, the free templates from CleverReach perform very well!
But also the layout, i.e. the design, is extremely important, because the first impression counts! Your newsletter should be
- be clearly structured and easy to read
- contain relevant content, large-format images
- contain appealing headlines and other anchor points (e.g. highlights in the body text and images)
- contain clearly visible call-to-action buttons
All newsletter templates are designed with these requirements in mind and let you create engaging newsletters in no time. Good luck!
4. Important: here's how to design your newsletter for optimal success
Do a self-test: which newsletters catch your attention or when do you click on information from the newsletter? That's right, appealing newsletter design is an essential part of the success of your email campaign! Relevant information encourages you to click on the products or content. But what is good newsletter design? This question cannot be answered universally, since industry, product, taste, zeitgeist or fashion trends have an influence. However, there is a clear answer to what makes a well-designed newsletter:
- Good scannability: a newsletter is not read word for word like a letter or an e-mail, rather the page is first skimmed. It must be clear at a glance what is relevant for the reader. Then the eye jumps from paragraph to paragraph, scanning only the opening words of the lines. This was the result of studies in which the eye movements of people reading web pages were analyzed.
- Target group-specific: Are your recipients fashion enthusiasts? Or have an affinity for travel? Your respective target group must be taken into account when designing your newsletter.
5. External templates are also welcome
Can only CleverReach templates be used for your email marketing? No, you can also create your own email templates. This is easier than you think - but you should be familiar with coding. If you do, however, it's not difficult. We have compiled what you need to consider in this Help Center post: "Explanation of CleverReach Template Technology".
You want to continue using your free or purchased Campaign Monitor or Mailchimp templates in CleverReach? This is also possible. The Template Converter converts these templates so that you can use them in the CleverReach Drag & Drop Newsletter Editor.
