TIPS:
- Ensure your text is easy to read, and avoid the pitfalls of using background or font colors that make your text difficult to read.
- A variety of fonts are available for your text, however, stick to standard web safe fonts, such as Arial, Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, and Courier. Not all fonts are supported universally, so if you’re using something niche, you may be at the mercy of having the email platform it’s displayed on change it to something else—which could potentially affect spacing, layout, and the overall look.
When working with the text tool, you have the ability to insert merge fields for further customization, such as adding today's date, the Info Hub login URL, etc.
