Rich Typography Email Template

Hi Eric, thanks for your question.

The way to upload this email to Mailchimp is through the custom templates feature. You’ll need to start by puting your images folder and your launchable (inline css) file in on single folder together, then ziping them (in windows can be done by right-clicking and “add to archive”). The email should be inline css, and content and images should be ready to go at this point.

You’ll need to login to your mailchimp account and click the “My Templates” button next to “create campaign”. Then press the blue “code custom templates button”. Then press the “import zip file” button. Locate the file and press upload.

You should be ready to send!

Hi Steve-

Is is possible for you to send me the email or give me a link to the web-based version? I’d need to see exactly what code is being spit out by Interspire.

Hi Luke-

Thanks for your question. Adding pictures and changing content will have to be done before uploading to Constant Contact. This design is strictly HTML , so to edit it you’ll have to write some code. If you don’t plan on changing the layout at all, it’s a simple process. You can open up the html file in any text-editing program and change the words, colors, and image links.

Here’s a simple guide to html if you’re unfamiliar: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

Let me know if you’re still having issues and I’ll do my best to help you out!

Hi David-

Which service are you using to send out the email? Most email services like mailchimp or campaignmonitor have tags that you add to those sections of the email. Since they’re all different, it is impossible to have a working “out of the box” tag. Let me know which you plan on using to send out and I’d be happy to talk you through it.

Hi Lionel-

You’ll need to edit the pictures and text before you upload to Mailchimp. The idea was to be able to use this template in any program, not just Mailchimp. However, the template is easy to customize knowing only minimal html and css. Adding images and copy has been streamlined. To start, simply place your pre-sized pictures into the images folder of a template in the “launchable” folder. To edit the text, open a launchable html file in a text program (such as notepad). Scan down the page and replace the titles and filler copy with your own. Replace the image titles with your own image titles added to the image folder.

Rearranging/deleting sections is streamlined too. Each section is labeled using comments, and is self contained. What that means is in your text program, you simply copy and paste each section into the order of your choosing. There are detailed pictures in the documentation to help you re-arrange sections.

If you’re still having issues, let me know how I can further assist you.

Hi Troxter,

Forwards and Unsubscribes are handled by the bulk email software you are using – like campaign monitor or mailchimp. Are you using any of these email programs? Each has their own tag that will perform these actions.

You’ll want to email via some bulk mail delivery program – I would suggest mailchimp or campaign monitor. They are easy to use, cheap (I believe mailchimp has a free option) and very cost-effective. I’d be more than happy to help you get the template set up on either of those systems.

Hi Hetsy-

There is no PSD created for this template, as it doesn’t rely on hardly an images anyway. So sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi JSouth,

First you’ll want to open up the documentation folder – the pdf document called “changing colors and styles”. This will take you step-by-step on how to edit the html email template. Next, you’ll want to chose your color scheme, either “blue light” or “dark yellow”. You can change these highlight colors later, but just use these as a start. You’ll want to open them in your text editor so you can edit them. Just follow the instructions located within the file download.

Hi Jay,

This template has html and css included in each layout file. You’d need to know at least a little bit about email design, tables and html. Although creating your own layouts is just copying and pasting code, you’ll still need to modify code. There’s no “wizard” or anything for this, unfortunately. Let me know if you have any other questions or need further clarification.
