The Creative is what ties the List and Offer together: it connects the two points to complete the Email Marketing Triangle of Success.
Creative refers to graphics, images and color themes that appeal to the individual segments and highlight the offer. Common promotional creative elements include star bursts, stylized fonts or different color fonts and flash. They usually are part of a larger image that includes the promotional product or service.
Creative aspects also promote brand awareness, which is an important aspect of email marketing campaigns. You want the reader to know the email is from you, and that only you are providing them with this particular offer.
To get the most success from your email marketing campaign, there must be a strong connection between the List, the Offer and the Creative. The cleaner the list, the better the offer and the more it is enhanced by the creative elements used to promote it.
