Renay -> Emailing Project (4/15/2013 9:47:02 AM)

When I email my Flyer as a JPG it does not fill the entire span of the email page as an Ad should. Is there any way to correct this?



ellengard -> RE: Emailing Project (4/15/2013 4:24:52 PM)

Are you embedding the JPG into the main body of the message box or is the email a separate attachment?



Renay -> RE: Emailing Project (4/15/2013 5:22:55 PM)

I am using Gmail which enables me to add the flyer as a JPG Photo. But it doesn't come in centered. It comes in left align leaving a lot of space to the right of the flyer.

Sorry, Yes I believe that would be embedded. I do not want it as an attachment as many customers will not open an attachment. I go to Compose and select photo to insert the JPG file into the email itself. When the customer opens the email from me the Ad presents itself in the body as I would like it to but it does not span the full width of the email and looks odd.

You should be able to center-justify the image by selecting it, then clicking the center-justify button - the same one that applies to text.

To force an image to span the width of the email, your email program must allow editing of the html. i.e. <img src="embed path of picture here.jpg" width="100%">

You can use Mozilla Thunderbird with your GMail account which handles email messages more appropriately through its interface.

When you setup a new account just put in your gmail addy and password and you will get better results on your email project.

For a professional looking email ad campaign (like the e-newsletters we subscribe to), an email marketing program is required. There are online companies that provide all the tools and support you need for a monthly fee, around $15 and up. Or you can buy an email campaign program for $30 like this one:

The program gives you professional looking, easy-to-customize templates. This could give you a lot more options in presenting your material, than just embedding a JPG.

Thank You so much! Very helpful.



ellengard -> RE: Emailing Project (4/16/2013 10:07:03 AM)

You're welcome! There are so many different email programs - outlook, gmail, yahoo mail, aol mail, thunderbird, etc. that it is hard to make your email look the same in all of them without the coding provided by an email campaign program.
