A litte tip: Remember that initially, pictures in your newsletter are generally blocked and the recipients won’t be able to see them right away. Therefor, it is important to bring your message across clearly in the text blocks. Make sure to use a web-safe font such as Arial or define a web-safe fallback font so that your newsletter style is sure to be seen on any smartphone or computer.
Now, you are ready to create that FONTastic newsletter!
