Tutorial: How To Add Background Images on Emails and Landing Pages.

Emily Santos

Apr 15, 2022

The continuous rise in email marketing makes finding new ways to enhance the subscriber experience increasingly important. Email is no longer just a few words of text on a screen. GIFS, animation, and even interactive content is becoming the new norm. Responsive background images joins the ranks of a rich email experience.Background images in newsletters and landing pages are not new by any means. But until now, only those with knowledge of HTML and code could take advantage of this design style.While it’s possible to create background images on tools such as Photoshop, the problem with image-based emails is that it doesn’t allow for additional HTML content to be placed on top. In the instance of image-blocking, this means that any text on the image cannot be read. This hurts the readability and responsiveness of your email.Keep reading to learn more about how BEE Pro has made it possible to quickly add responsive background images to emails and landing pages.

BEE Pro Saves The Day

The new background image feature inside of BEE Pro makes it easy for everyone to add responsive background images, without the need for code. This drag and drop tool allows for design flexibility and unlimited layering capabilities.With background images, you have the freedom to layer content such as text and CTAs to enhance the overall message of your email or landing page. Unlike with image-based emails,even if your subscribers have their images turned off, the readability of your content won't be affected. In terms of responsiveness, BEE Pro ensures the background image feature adapts to all screens resolutions.While background images make emails and landing pages look professional and grab the attention and interest of the reader, it does so much more. Background images support your message and allow you to set a scene that evokes emotion and enhances your reader’s experience. In return, your readers are likely to take action making your email marketing efforts effective.

Background Images In Action

Unlike GIFS and hero images, background images aren’t meant to be the main focal point of your emails or landing pages. Instead,theyhelp support and tie in the contents of the message to make it look more professional and entertaining.Here are some examples of how our Designer Community uses the feature to create email templates with background images.This email template by Andrea Dall’Ara uses a background image to create a scenery that makes the page more engaging and allows it to stand out from the dozens of other “Happy Easter” emails your clients may get that day.

In this email by Jesús Albusac, the row background image feature provides a visual representation of the message and helps evoke emotion in the reader.

In this newsletter by Kristina Bazaeva the row background image is subtle and adds texture to emphasize the content.

Lastly, in this email by Navid Nosrati the background image accentuates the focal point of the email and the content.

Step-by-step guide: Adding Background Images to Email & Landing Pages

Now that you’ve seen how background images are implemented, you are ready to start creating! Choose a template from our catalog or start from scratch. Then, watch the video or follow along with the steps down below:

Toggle On the “Background Image” Feature

Fit to background: Stretched the image to cover the entire email or landing pages
Repeat: Places the image side by side to create patterns.
Center: Sets the image at the center of your email or page and keeps the image’s original size.

Start Layering!

With global email users estimated to grow to 4.6 billion users in 2025, it’s no surprise that sales and marketing teams continue to use email marketing to engage with prospects and customers -- I mean, it’s quick, affordable, and a great way to communicate with your audience, wherever they are.

As designer, we are firm believers that even the most casual of email communication don't have to remain static. Creative email design infused with your unique brand elements helps pique your audience’s interest at just the right moment, encouraging them to engage. However, we acknowledge that good email design takes time and technical support, which is why Beefree exists.

Beefree is a complete no-code email and landing page design suite allowing you to creating digital content quickly and efficiently. With over 1,700 professionally designed email and page templates, teams of all sizes and expertise can drag and drop design elements in our easy-to-use editor.

Making room for more creative freedom

The BEE Pro Integration with HubSpot gives sales and marketing teams of all skill levels the ability to design emails and landing pages quickly. No matter your level of design skills, any user can create professional assets that are automatically linked to their contact database. Drag-and-drop modules are ideal for e-commerce, marketing, and sales emails, highlighting conversion elements.

Here are a few ways using design tools with your CRM benefits sales and marketing teams by establishing creative freedom and enabling design collaboration.

Collaboration streamlines the design process

Collaboration is a core element of the BEE Pro and HubSpot integration. Whether you are an individual freelancer working with clients or a large organization that wants to empower entire teams, the collaboration tools allow all users to work together while minimizing back-and-forth. Users can add comments to any element found in an email or page and admins can set predefined roles for all users. The tool also supports brand consistency with custom colors, fonts, and other details for each brand or team.

Design flexibility can take an email to a landing page quickly

Teams can transform any email that has been created into a landing page with one click — allowing them to reuse existing content. This flexibility allows marketers to design full digital campaigns quickly and easily. They can also add page-specific content like signup forms, images, and videos (including video backgrounds) before the landing page is published to QA for consistency and conversion opportunities. If they start with a page, they can go the other way around, quickly transforming a landing page into an email that will drive traffic to it.

Mobile design mode keeps your email designs fully optimized

Mobile design mode allows teams to ensure that their email and page designs are fully optimized for mobile devices without needing to switch between the editor stage and preview mode. A quick toggle switches views and users can continue editing in both modes — guaranteeing that the design looks exactly as it should.

3 ways BEE Pro and HubSpot give teams more design freedom and responsiveness in marketing campaigns

Email and landing page design with BEE Pro and HubSpot gives sales and marketing teams the ability to customize email marketing and content campaigns, incorporating visual elements, CTAs, and more. With the BEE Pro design suite and visual editor, teams can design, create, and maintain their email templates and campaigns all in one location — cutting out unnecessary applications that can make the process clunky and time-consuming.Here’s how users can leverage BEE Pro and HubSpot to enable more design freedom in their content marketing campaigns and better engage their audiences.

Keep important data in one location while designing
Users can create more sophisticated landing pages and emails while still maintaining all important data in HubSpot. There’s no need to move data to a completely different platform to design. Inari Medical, Inc uses the integration to create landing pages with an elevated layout before exporting them into HubSpot to send the final drafts to their associations. This streamlines the email design process from start to finish.
Access design elements without interrupting the workflow
When the design suite is part of the technical workflow, it reduces clicks significantly and helps ease the transition between working on different activities.

How to Improve Engagement in Your MailChimp Email Marketing

Mar 25, 2021

Email marketing is a must for any business that wants to succeed in today’s marketing landscape. And with audience data, automation tools and insights all in the same place, MailChimp is a great tool for marketers to utilize. But if your engagement isn’t up to par, your outcome won’t be, either. Use these helpful tips to improve your MailChimp email marketing engagement and see better results from your efforts.

If your engagement isn’t up to par, your outcome won’t be, either.

Set expectations

Improve your MailChimp email marketing engagement by letting your subscribers know what they’re signing up for. Setting expectations with a welcome email will increase long-term engagement because it tells your readers what to expect. Communicate what type of content you’re going to send and how frequently so people don’t mark unexpected emails as spam. (Bonus: A strong welcome email gives readers a good impression of your brand, which also makes them more likely to continue engaging with your content.)(Pictured: Thank You For Subscribing designed by Navid Nosrati.)

Send segmented, personalized emails

Segmenting your email list allows you to send the most relevant emails possible to each individual subscriber — and that will improve your MailChimp email engagement. MailChimp has a wide range of segmenting options that fall into categories such as subscriber data, predicted demographics, behavioral targeting and more. MailChimp also offers advanced segmentation tools and gives you the ability to segment by purchase activity.Once you have your email list segmented and you’re ready for email design, make sure each email is personalized. Email personalization goes beyond simply sticking your customer’s first name in the subject line (although that’s a great idea). Create personalized campaigns based around more advanced subscriber data such as their past purchases (“Because you bought this, we think you might like this”) or their location (“It’s cold in Ottawa. Need a jacket?”).(Pictured: Don’t Forget About Me by Yuliana Pandelieva.)

Provide valuable content

Create MailChimp email templates that serve up relevant content instead of going straight for the hard sell. There’s a time and a place for promotional content, but when you’re trying to increase email engagement, content is king. Share articles, blog posts and other types of content that address your readers’ pain points and solve their problems. Your engagement will go up as your customers’ satisfaction does the same.(Pictured: E-Learning Blog by Regina Tagirova.)

Follow email design best practices

This should be a no-brainer, but to increase your MailChimp email marketing engagement, you need to make sure your emails look good. If your message isn’t visually attractive, your customers will probably click out. Email design is made easy with MailChimp email templates where all you have to do is customize the template with your information.(Pictured: How to Become A Yogi by Yuliana Pandelieva.)

Include your social media links

Adding social media links at the bottom of an email has been shown to increase click-through rates for marketers. With our free MailChimp templates, it’s easy to link your social media accounts in the footer of your message. You could also add a CTA inviting readers to join you on social media, boosting engagement even more.(Pictured: Fresh Spring Offer by Hector Titus Ruiz.)

Make sure the email is mobile responsive

The best MailChimp templates to increase engagement are ones that are mobile responsive. The majority of your readers are viewing emails on a mobile device: Over 70% of people check email in a mobile app. Make sure your emails show up correctly or they’ll get deleted fast.(Pictured: Stay Comfortable at Home by Derek Brumby.)

Tutorial: How to Add Anchor Links in Emails

Sending content-rich emails? A simple yet effective design tip is to include anchor links in your newsletters to give your subscribers more flexibility with what they want to read.

May 22, 2020

Do you use HTML anchor links in your email campaigns? Anchor links in email are incredibly useful for newsletters that are long and content-rich. They give your subscribers a chance to quickly scroll down and directly skip to where they want to read. And when your emails are easier to navigate, your readers are more likely to stick around and take in the entire message. Let’s take a look at exactly how anchor links can help your marketing and what you need to do to use them.

Anchor links in email are incredibly useful for newsletters that are long and content-rich. They give your subscribers a chance to quickly scroll down and directly skip to where they want to read.

Why use anchor links in emails?

What exactly is an email anchor link? An anchor link is a hyperlink in an email. When that hyperlink is clicked, it takes you to another part of the email instead of opening a separate window. Anchor links are most helpful for long messages, which is why they’re generally used in email newsletters instead of sales emails.You might choose to include just a single anchor link, or add a full anchor menu in your email header. This menu acts like a table of contents so readers can see at a glance what’s included in the message.Anchor links are huge for your email UX (user experience). Keeping your email simple can capture a user’s attention. And adding an anchor menu is a great way to simplify your message.Here's a quick example from Mobile Marketing Watch, a company that adds anchor links at the top of their daily newsletter so readers can use a table of contents to quickly navigate to each section.

mobile marketing watch anchor links in email

The MintLife Blog also uses anchor links (the three bullet points at the top) in its email newsletter. Like Mobile Marketing Watch’s newsletter, this email is plain text. The anchor links are helpful since these messages don’t have any colorful HTML subheadings to aid in navigation. A plain text email can be difficult to scan — anchor links eliminate the problem and make navigating these emails a whole lot easier.

How to create anchor links in an email

Good news! Adding an anchor link in your email campaign is easier than you might think. All you need is a basic know-how of the HTML link structure of your anchor links. As we'll see, an anchor link is made up of two parts: the URL link and the actual anchor tag that the link is "jumping" to in your email.Let's look at a specific newsletter example and show you how to replicate its anchor links using the BEE email editor. Follow along in this quick video recap or keep reading for a step-by-step tutorial:

Email anchor links example

We've always admired how anchor links were put to good use in Lenny Letter, a newsletter created by actor/director Lena Dunham and her best friend/director Jenni Konner. Lenny focused primarily on long-form content such as thought-provoking essays and stories, providing that content in the email itself. In this one, the header includes colorful anchor links to each corresponding story within the email. Here's how the links look across the top (starting with Jessica Grose and ending with Lena Dunham):

Each color corresponds with the author's story. If a reader wants to read Kaitlyn Greenidge's story first, tapping her name (the orange anchor link) takes the reader directly to her story section (where the title, "I Love Betty," is also in orange). Click here to see the newsletter (trimmed because of its length).

Getting started

Now that you're familiar with the concept of anchor links in emails, let's walk you through how to add them in the BEE editor. Open up the free BEE email editor to follow along.

Step 1: Build the email

To start, we'll recreate the Lenny email in BEE. The header is simple: Using a basic one-column design, drag in the Lenny image and add the text (in Courier) beneath it. Next, drag in a four-column structure to arrange the top anchors.

Continue to add text and images to recreate the header, intro and first story.

Afterformattingthe color of the text, get ready to add the links.

Step 2: Choose an anchor link name and its position

Now it's time to name and position the first anchor in the correct section of the email. For this step, we'll be using the custom HTML content block in BEE from the Content menu to add our anchor (think of it as a bookmark).

Drag and drop the HTML block to where you want the link to "jump" down to. In this case, it's right above Grose's story, titled "Namaslay."

This is how the HTML block looks onceit's in position but before we add code:

To create the anchor, paste in one line of HTML code in the Content Properties field of the custom HTML block on the right:

<a name="grose"></a><br />

The name in quotes ("grose") can be whatever you want. Just keep it simple and easy to remember — ideally one word — as this is the keyword you’ll use when linking to this anchor tag.

Step 3: Link the anchor

Now that the anchor's position has been specified, the text in the header needs to be linked to it. Simply select "Jessica Grose" and choose the Insert Link selection in the toolbar.

In the menu, link to the anchor by entering #grose in the URL field.

Adding a link to an anchor in your email

For the link to work, it's important to include the hashtag (#) before the name and to make sure the name matches the one you chose earlier. The shorter and simpler the name, the easier it'll be to remember.Now you’ve created the two parts of your anchor links: the anchor text and the link pointing to it.Duplicate that HTML content block, then copy it and drag it to the next section. Update the name that’s within the quotes and link the text at the top to the new anchors you’ve created.

Step #4: Send a test email to test the anchor links

Once you receive the email (BEE’s “Send test” feature lets you send a test email to yourself), click on the anchor links and watch the magic happen:

Voilà! If you’d like, you can add additional anchor links at the bottom of each section with text that says “Top of page” or something similar. This will let readers go back up to your anchor menu with a single click. But otherwise, your anchor links in email are ready to go.

Creating anchor links in email with BEE

Use the BEE email editor to create a table of contents with anchor links in your own emails. Our new Menu feature is the perfect way to add your links! With this feature, you can create an internal email menu that links to either internal or external links.Adding the menu is simple. Open up an email template in the BEE editor and drag a menu block onto the message. Click “Add new item” in the right-hand sidebar; this will allow you to add your text and then hyperlink that text with internal links. Set the link type when you add the URL’s.After you’ve set up your menu and added links, you can customize the layout and text of the menu to make it more visually appealing. You can also turn on the “Mobile menu” to access some additional design options. Mobile menus aren’t compatible with every email client. But for the clients that do support this option, this setting will optimize your menu for mobile viewing.BEE’s new Menu feature makes it easy and fast for you to create an anchor link menu for your email newsletters.

Email client support for anchor links

Anchor links are not supported by all email clients, so keep this in mind when deciding whether to add a table of contents to your newsletters. Here’s a quick report with some of the most popular email clients:Email clientSupport for anchor linksGmail (Web)YESGmail (Android app)YESInbox by Gmail (Android app)YESGmail (iOS app)NOApple Mail (iOS)NOYahoo!

It can be hard, however, to find a responsive email template that works in Outlook — and that’s where the BEE email editor comes into play. With simple HTML email templates that can be adapted for Outlook, BEE is an excellent solution to help any marketer’s Outlook dreams come true. Here’s how to find a responsive email template that works in Outlook by using BEE.

Making Outlook Work With BEE

Outlook is software created by Microsoft that lets you send, receive, and manage emails, among other features. Many users actually prefer Outlook over Gmail, appreciating Outlook’s offline email option, organizational features, and calendar integration. In 2018, Outlook was reported to have over 400 million active users.Since so many people receive emails using this platform, it’s important for email marketers to ensure their emails show up in Outlook. But desktop versions of Outlook for Windows are infamous for severe limitations when it comes to rendering HTML messages, and often marketers struggle to find a responsive email template that works in Outlook.The good news is, BEE’s email templates render wonderfully in Outlook, and they’re a good choice for any marketer looking to save time and create beautiful emails. There are dozens of ready-to-use templates in BEE’s catalog, such as this e-commerce template made by designer Andrea Dall'Ara; simply drag and drop your text, images, and other design elements and then send your email into Outlook inboxes without fear!
