How do I create mobile-first Black Friday emails?

As an e-commerce marketer preparing for Black Friday, I'm struggling to create email campaigns that effectively engage mobile users. With over 70% of emails now opened on mobile devices, I need strategies that ensure my Black Friday promotions look great, load quickly, and drive conversions on smartphones. I want to understand the critical design, content, and technical considerations for crafting mobile-optimized email campaigns that will cut through the noise during this hyper-competitive shopping period.

How to Create Mobile-First Black Friday Emails

Over 60% of BF emails are opened on mobile. A great desktop email design can be completely unreadable on mobile if you don't design with mobile-first principles from the start.

Desktop-First Mistakes

  • - Multi-column layouts collapse poorly
  • - Small text under 14px is unreadable
  • - Tiny CTA buttons hard to tap
  • - Heavy images slow on mobile data
  • - Long email that requires endless scrolling

Mobile-First Best Practices

  • - Single-column layout (600px max width)
  • - 16px body text, 22px+ headlines
  • - Full-width CTA button (min 48px height)
  • - Under 3 images per email, compressed
  • - Lead with the deal in first 100 characters

BF Email Structure (Mobile-First)

Growth Suite: Link your BF email CTAs to Growth Links - when subscribers land on your store, Growth Suite recognizes them as email traffic and can trigger a personalized offer overlay. The Email Capture Campaign can also collect additional leads from visitors who land on the BF page without being subscribers.
