Step 1: Log into Your HubSpot Account
- Navigate to the official HubSpot website.
- Enter your credentials and log in.
Step 2: Access the Email Dashboard
- From the main navigation, hover over the 'Marketing' tab.
- Click on 'Email'.
Step 3: Create a New Email or Edit an Existing One
- Click on the 'Create email' button or select an existing email from your dashboard.
Step 4: Choose a Responsive Template
- HubSpot offers a variety of mobile-responsive templates.
- Ensure you select a template labeled 'responsive'. This means it's designed to adapt to different screen sizes automatically.
Step 5: Design with Mobile in Mind
- As you design, keep mobile users at the forefront of your decisions.
- Avoid using large images that take time to load on mobile.
- Use concise text to ensure your message is received quickly and clearly.
Step 6: Utilize HubSpot’s Built-in Preview Tool
- While in the email editor, locate and click on the 'Preview' option.
- Toggle between 'Desktop' and 'Mobile' views to see how your email looks on different devices.
Step 7: Optimize Image Size and Format
- Compress images to ensure they load quickly on mobile devices.
- Use image formats like JPG or PNG which are widely supported and load quickly.
Step 8: Limit the Use of Columns
- On mobile, multi-column designs can get compressed or appear cluttered.
- Stick to a single column or use HubSpot’s stackable modules which stack content vertically on mobile.
Step 9: Test CTA Button Sizes
- Ensure that CTA buttons are easily clickable on mobile. Ideally, they should be at least 44x44 pixels.
Step 10: Use Legible Font Sizes
- Ensure your text is easily readable on small screens.
- Aim for at least a 14px font size for body text and 22px for headers.
Step 11: Avoid Embedding Important Content in Images
- Text within images might not be legible on mobile devices.
- Instead, overlay text on background images or use separate text modules.
Step 12: Test the Email on Various Devices
- Before sending the email to your list, send test versions to different mobile devices you have access to.
- Check for any rendering issues and adjust as needed.
Step 13: Make Use of HubSpot’s Send Test Email Feature
- Within the email editor, find the 'Actions' or 'Send Test' option.
- Send the email to yourself or team members to review on various devices and email clients.
Step 14: Analyze and Adapt
- After sending, use HubSpot's analytics tools to measure mobile engagement.
- Pay attention to metrics like open rates on mobile devices and adjust your designs based on the data.
Step 15: Continuous Improvement
- Mobile devices and email clients frequently update. Periodically review and test your emails to ensure they remain mobile-responsive.
