What's the best way to optimize emails for mobile devices?

As an e-commerce marketer, I'm struggling to create email campaigns that look great and convert well on mobile devices. Mobile now represents over 60% of email opens, but my current templates look terrible on smartphones. I need practical strategies to ensure my emails are responsive, readable, and drive clicks across different mobile devices and email clients. How can I design mobile-friendly emails that look professional and actually encourage customers to take action?
