View Full Version : HTML email with discount code

Hello,

A client would like an email template designed with a discount code option that can be changed.

I can obviously design this but presumably I would have to host the images on a server and link to it?

It is not possible to attach the template to the email and have the email linking to that is it?

Or is there a free host that allows email templates to be used?

What is the best approach to designing an email template?


Many thanks

The best way in my opinion to design an email template is to do the following.

Create your basic template that you would like the recipients to see and host it at www.thedomain.com/EMAILTEMPLATE

then in the template you just type the content to the email. you could obviously create a new folder for each email if need be.

Once you have then created this in the email its self insert the HTML and all of the image src should point to www.thedomain.com/EMAILTEMPLATE/IMAGES (example). On your email template at the top or bottom include a link saying:

" If you are having trouble viewing this email then click here" and then link this to: www.thedomain.com/EMAILTEMPLATE


Hopefully I haven't misunderstood you and I have been of help.
