Originally published on December 17, 2020. Last updated September 10, 2021.Your font choice plays a large role in how customers perceive your brand. It dictates the appearance and feel to your email or landing page. While there is a long list of fonts available to use, don't let choosing the right one intimidate you.Each font has its own personality. When choosing the best fonts for emails and landing pages, look further than appearances, think about your customers’ motivations, font compatibility and how your fonts work to create a cohesive, readable piece.The perfect font will evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression on your customers, but most importantly it will be web safe.Web safe fonts are fonts that display on any application and are seen on any device. They are perfect for emails and landing pages because they are default fonts found on all computers and devices. They are trusted to clearly get your message across no matter what.Implement these email safe fonts and best practices to leave a lasting impression on your customers.

The perfect font will evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression on your customers, but most importantly it will be web safe.

Web-safe fonts you should use

There are a handful of fonts that render correctly in about any environment. These fonts are called “web-safe” fonts and are guaranteed to be the best fonts for email marketing. Although it’s tempting to choose cursive fonts, Comic Sans MS or Kristen ITC, when designing for email and landing pages, stick to these fonts instead:

  • Arial - flexible, simple
  • Roboto - certain, distinct
  • Georgia - authoritative, formal
  • Verdana - clear, direct
  • Helvetica - modern, bold
  • Open Sans - friendly, minimal
  • Tahoma - welcoming, humanist
  • Times New Roman - traditional, reliable
  • Raleway - elegant, smooth

These fonts have great readability, which means a majority of email service providers will showcase your chosen font in the way you intended it to be seen. Use these fonts freely in all your email and landing page designs. While this collection seems small compared to all the fonts that are out there, it’s important to stick to these fonts to ensure that all emails will be received on all email service providers. To add variety to your designs, get creative with placement, color and other design elements for these fonts throughout your emails and landing pages.

How to choose the best fonts for email

The best font for email marketing should be readable and reinforcing your brand to keep you out of the spam box. Consider how your email or landing page is formatted: Are they more text-heavy or image-heavy? Match a font that is compatible with the format you decide to use; a text-heavy format should use a more simplistic style font while image-heavy will allow for more variety.Remember to keep your fonts consistent between content. The fonts you use for your emails are the same ones you use for your landing pages. This way, customers will begin to recognize your brand style more, ultimately reinforcing your brand identity. Keep this in mind and use these best practices to guide your font choice.

Consider your brand

The fonts you use will depend in part on your industry and the nature of your business. An elegant jewelry brand like Laura Lombardi Jewelry selected Script style fonts that are graceful and stylish:Subject line: It’s here!  ✨  Our annual holiday sale starts now.

Create a list of words that describe your brand best. Consider how you are going to incorporate those words into your emails and landing pages. Then, when choosing a font, ask yourself:Does your brand carry a…

  • Cheerful or serious tone
  • Professional or playful 
  • Formal or casual  

Decide how you want subscribers to perceive your brand. After pinpointing adjectives to describe that tone, refer back to the web-safe fonts to match-up your desired tone with a few of the font descriptions listed. The best font to use for email marketing is a font that aligns with your brand’s personality.

Decide on how many fonts to use

How many fonts are too many? As a general rule of thumb, stick to a maximum of three fonts. Too many fonts will clutter your email or landing page and distract your subscribers.Limiting your fonts doesn’t mean you have to limit your creativity. Add variety to your designs by changing up the size and typographical emphasis you use. Try bolding or italicizing certain phrases or use all caps for certain words. For example, Golde uses different font sizes and even bolds certain words in that same font. The result is an eye-catching, skimmable email that looks uniform.Subject line: IT’S HERE

Choose header and body fonts

Consider selecting different fonts for the header and body of your email or landing page to make your designs more visually engaging. Header fonts should stand out and be eye-catching to subscribers. Body fonts, however, need to be more legible since they contain important supporting information. In this Joe’s Jeans example, the “Black Friday Sale” text is in a smooth, Script font which stands out and plays into the text hierarchy. The rest of the text is in a more straightforward font making it clear on what this sale has to offer. Subject line: Sweaters, cardigans, and knitwear

Select the best font size for your email

After you’ve settled on your web-safe font, you’ll want to consider the best font size to use for emails and landing pages. We recommend a range of 20-28 pixels for your headings and 12-14 pixels for your body copy for desktop and mobile devices.

Consider color for your professional email fonts

Your font color is another useful aspect to consider when thinking about the typography in your email or landing page. Color has a major impact on how customers perceive your brand. It shares insight on your brand personality and characteristics because color evokes emotion, meaning subscribers will get a feel of your brand values based on your color choices.When choosing a font color, consider what service or product you provide and what emotions you want customers to feel about your brand. Then, decide on a font color that compliments the background of your design. Don’t go overboard — two or three font colors is plenty. Black or grey body copy is always a safe, readable choice. This Dropps message uses blue headers and easily visible body copy.Subject line: Take 30% off our reusable wool dryer balls ?

Now, let's be honest—you’ve likely heard about all of these rotating for the last few years. While email marketing has come a long way and is changing faster than ever, there’s only so much you can do within 600x1,500 pixels. However, there are no limits to where your creativity can take you. 

Let’s get into it.  

#1. Unique, tailored experiences 

Damian Grabarczyk, the co-founder and growth marketer of PetLab Co., says, “We faced the challenge of connecting meaningfully with an audience that expects more than one-size-fits-all communication.” 

When we speak about crafting tailored emails we mean going beyond the recipient's first name in the subject line. We’re talking about optimizing your entire email strategy to design multi-stage touchpoints to nurture leads across the customer lifecycle. As well as, leveraging data to send hyper-personalized, relevant, and engaging emails that feel less like a broadcast message and more like a conversation. 

Many are using AI machine learning algorithms and AI automation to analyze customer interactions, past purchases, browsing habits, website visits, and even social media behavior to curate engaging email content that resonates deeply with the real-time needs of recipients.

For PetLab Co this looked like including content such as an individual’s pet health history or product usage timelines. Damian Grabarzyk expands, “This approach transformed the conversion rate and strengthened customer loyalty. As we look ahead, I see brands in 2025 moving beyond generic personalization to adopt strategies that make customers feel truly understood and valued.”

On the other hand, many are leaning into user-generated content (UGC) for crafting tailored experiences. Customers today are more likely to trust the opinions of peers over branded messages. UGC like customer reviews, testimonials, videos, and photos are the best form of social proof depicting real people using and benefitting from your products or services. 

We see the benefits of using both AI and UGC to get the most out of your email conversions ;). 

#2. AI tools as an addition, not a substitution

Experts at NordPass state, "AI-powered content generation tools are not here to replace email copywriters and marketers. These tools make us more efficient. The smarter the tool is, the better equipped we are to create high-performing email content that drives results." 

AI tools can support us by significantly enhancing the speed, precision, and effectiveness of your emails. For instance while traditionally A/B testing has required a lot of time to analyze small variations with AI you quickly implement and test multiple email elements and make adjustments based on real-time engagement data. There are AI algorithms that can even predict which variations are most likely to resonate with different audience segments, leading to more accurate targeting and faster optimization.

In short, AI tools are revolutionizing the way we craft and optimize our email’s deliverability. There are many different types of AI solutions so we suggest finding the right one for your needs. 

#3. Even more transparency around data

With AI continuing to rise, folks are more and more concerned about where their data is going. That’s where zero-party data collection becomes a key strategy in email marketing, allowing you to gather data directly from customers rather than relying on third-party sources. 

Zero-party data includes information that consumers willingly share, such as preferences, interests, and purchase intentions. This data is often collected through surveys, preference centers, quizzes, or interactive content and is highly valuable because it is shared explicitly, ensuring accuracy and deeper personalization without privacy concerns associated with third-party tracking.

As privacy regulations tighten, zero-party data will empower you to deliver hyper-personalized email experiences while respecting user privacy. This approach will help you build trust, as customers feel more in control of their data, and you gain insights that lead to more relevant and engaging email content.

#4. The death of static emails

With attention span getting shorter day after day, digest-format emails are expected to rise in popularity in 2025. Presenting email content in an easy-to-scan, organized, and minimalistic layout will surely help deliver the most relevant information in a fraction of the time. 

Additionally, interactive emails will allow recipients to directly engage within the email without having to visit a landing page or website. Interactive elements like product carousels, polls, and quizzes create a dynamic experience that keeps subscribers engaged, especially in visually driven industries like fashion brands

So what now? 

You’ve heard these strategies before, but now it’s time to actually put them into action. The brands that win at email marketing in 2025 won’t just be sending emails—they’ll be creating experiences. Whether it’s hyper-personalized content, AI-driven efficiency, zero-party data collection, or interactive emails that break the mold, the key is to stay ahead of the curve.

So, what’s the first strategy you’ll finally implement? Your inbox (and your audience) are waiting.

What do customers think about your brand’s products? The best way to find out is to ask them directly, which you can do via strategic email campaigns.

Email makes gathering authentic product reviews quick and easy. By collecting sincere feedback, you can build trust, increase sales, boost loyalty, and innovate product improvements. 

That said, requesting reviews via email requires precise timing, personalized messaging, and lots of engagement optimizations. But don’t worry—we’ll walk you through some key steps to create email campaigns that deliver the valuable feedback you need.

Why product reviews matter

Product reviews do more than confirm that you're meeting customers’ needs. Sincere feedback drives loyalty and sales, offers valuable customer insights, and helps you develop a strategic product development roadmap.

  • Fosters customer loyalty: Requesting and listening to feedback makes your customers feel valued and heard. It demonstrates that you prioritize customer satisfaction, which helps you build stronger, long-term relationships. Review requests also act as re-engagement emails by starting new conversations with customers.
  • Increases sales: Social proof drives sales. According to a recent survey by Power Reviews, 90% of potential customers use online reviews to make purchasing decisions. In fact, reviews have more influence over purchasing decisions than product prices. Turning product reviews into customer testimonials and encouraging reviews on third-party sites can significantly boost sales.

  • Builds Customer 360 insights: Customer feedback delivers insights into customer needs and sentiments, enriching Customer 360. Exactly what is Customer 360? It’s a unified, 360-degree view of customer data. It empowers you to tailor products and customer experiences to meet individual needs and preferences. 
  • Drives product improvements: Sincere customer feedback reveals what target customers like/dislike about your products. It provides key insight into their value, functionality, and usability, unlocking large-scale development opportunities.

How to create an email campaign to collect product reviews

Want to unlock the power of product reviews? Let’s explore how to create email campaigns that encourage customers to share their feedback.

Segment your audience

Like promotional emails, product review requests shouldn’t be sent to every subscriber.

If subscribers haven’t had the chance to try your product, product review requests will feel irrelevant and may trigger unsubscriptions. So, only send review email requests to customers recently trying your product.

You can do this by segmenting your email list based on where customers are in the buying cycle. Target loyal customers, recent purchasers, and first-time buyers with tailored email campaigns. This ensures that you’re sending emails to customers most likely to respond with insightful feedback.

Write a compelling email subject line

According to Superoffice, 33% of people open an email based on the subject line.

To get the click-through rates you want, your email subject lines should be personalized, relevant, and engaging. Here are some examples:

  • Did you love [product]? Or hate it? Let us know!
  • We value your opinion — help us improve!
  • We want YOU to help us make our product better!
  • Up for a discount? Share your feedback for 10% off!

Optimize for customer engagement

A successful email marketing strategy relies on customer engagement. Here are some key email elements you need to encourage interactions.

  • An attractive email design: With the right layout, color scheme, typography, and images, you ensure easy readability and promote interaction. Use these engagement-boosting email design best practices to help you create a design that boosts conversion rates.
  • Gratitude and value: Thank customers for reading the email and explaining why their feedback is so important. Also, consider including a personalized Gmail email signature with your content details to build trust and encourage customers to engage with your review request. 
  • Personalized, relevant content: Personalized email content motivates engagement. Use customer data platform (CDP) data to tailor messages to individual customers. What is a CDP? It’s a centralized platform that collects and unifies customer information, building comprehensive customer profiles. 
  • Incentives: Offering a small discount can motivate customers to leave reviews, especially first-time buyers. That said, incentives can (sometimes) generate insincere reviews, so stress the importance of honesty. 
  • A strong call-to-action (CTA): Your CTA should direct readers straight to the reviews submission page. Use clear CTAs with bold buttons and typography to make it stand out.
  • Mobile responsiveness: If your emails are slow to load or don’t display correctly on mobile devices, your bounce rate will spike. Leverage solutions that offer advanced mobile optimization features — such as Beefree— to create responsive emails every single time.

Ask specific, concise questions

Complex, drawn-out questions that are too open-ended can disengage customers. So, get straight to the point with concise, direct questions. Here are some examples:

  • What did you think of [specific product feature]?
  • How often do you use our product?
  • What are your favorite/least favorite features?
  • How likely are you to recommend this product?
  • What could we do to improve our product?

Use a mixture of closed and open-ended questions to increase your chances of receiving meaningful responses.

Make it easy to respond

The easier it is for customers to leave a review, the more responses you’ll receive. So, make the process as seamless and convenient as possible. One way to do this is with survey emails.

Email surveys have high response rates. They can be completed within the email with minimal effort, which is a big plus for busy customers. And, they can generate a wealth of quantitative data and metrics that are quick to analyze, leading to faster improvements. BeeFree has an extensive collection of email survey templates to suit every need.

For longer review requests, include a CTA that directly links to the review submission page. Review forms should use simple, clear language, be optimized for mobile, and have a progress bar. 

You could even provide your telephone contact details to allow customers to leave a review via telephone. It’s the preferred communication method for 55% of Baby Boomers according to Hubspot, so it’s worth considering. 

Leverage small business telephone services from Vonage to access call center capabilities like virtual receptionists and CRM integrations, streamlining processes.

Also consider directing customers to leave reviews on popular review sites, such as Google and Amazon.

Optimize email timings

If you send product review requests too early, there’s a chance your customers won’t have tried your product yet. But if you send them too late, your customer might have forgotten their experience. 

So, when’s the best time to request reviews? 

Aim to send review requests within 7-14 days post-purchase. This gives customers a chance to try the product a few times, leading to more sincere, meaningful reviews. Plan for seasonal surges such as Black Friday and incorporate them into your schedules.

Key takeaways

Do email campaigns work for gathering valuable product reviews that drive improvements, boost trust, and increase sales and loyalty? 

Absolutely — but they need to be strategic.

To generate sincere reviews and valuable data, ensure your marketing emails are personalized, engaging, and optimized for convenience. And, use email list segmentation and marketing automation to ensure they’re sent to the right customers at the right time.
