Learn how to build a polished, on-brand email using Campaign Monitor’s drag-and-drop email builder, from choosing a template to previewing and sending a test.
Getting started with the email builder. Bringing your message, images, and branding together into a polished email can take time.
The email builder gives you simple drag-and-drop tools to bring everything together and make the design your own.
From Campaigns, select Create a campaign. Choose Single campaign, give your campaign a name.
Select Design email. We’ll use a template.
Browse the Themes, and choose a design that fits your message. It opens in the email builder, ready to customize.
Start by adding your logo and swap in a new hero image. Then update the headline and body copy.
To add another image, drag an Image block from the build panel on the left into your email. Once it’s in place, you can move and resize your images until the layout works for your message.
Before you send, preview your email on desktop and mobile.
Then send yourself a test email to check the design, content, and links.
And that’s it! You’re ready to build your first branded email.
With our powerful yet easy-to-use tools, it's never been easier to make an impact with email marketing.
