Example:
Internshala or naukri.com
These send us mails in bold layout so they are seen n it’s attractive.
They mention offers in subject line or in body saying that free courses available or we have what your looking for!
They mention when the offer terminates like- hurry few days left or end of may
They usually have a persuasive tone in writing
The body is short and on point.
There is always a link to their website which shows us more offers
The unsubscribe button pops up and lets us have an option to unsubscribe anytime we want.

Adobe does by using a call to action “Create something now. We’ll show you how” and a “Getting Started” link.
By keeping the focus on the next step, you won’t overwhelm or distract your new reader. When this happens, they’ll be more inclined to take the next step.

Email marketing allows you to reach your customers from anywhere,on any device, and help them.

It’s a strategy you can’t do without. Start today to your leads and drive your engagement to another level.

When you communicate through email, you create a link to the relationship between you and your clients.

PayPal is the world’s most popular payment processor, used by millions of small, midsize and multinational companies. I’m sure you also using it

For a long time, PayPal uses email marketing to build quality engagement with users. You’ll see how creative and strategic the brand, throughout this section.

PayPal is no doubt the best payment processor that gives users a lot of benefits. And the company is proud to have it.

Since 70% of customers prefer to receive content via email than other social media sources, according to Campaign Monitor, PayPal capitalized on it. And since PayPal staring sending the notification ,offers ,they are building their brand and trust in very rapid time so there are many apps but they are not sending the notification through emails but PayPal came up with a new and worthy strategy which is force people to trust on theme
