The average employee sends over 10,000 emails a year. With that kind of volume, adding Terminus Email to the email signature of your employee’s Gmail or Outlook instantly opens up a new advertising channel for your team, bursting with analytics. That’s why go-to-market teams today are turning every email sent by their employees into an opportunity to share helpful content or promote a relevant call-to-action.
But in order to engage with your most important accounts, you’ll first need an engaging email banner. That’s where this blog post can help! Every day we’re trying to be as active as we can in this channel, launching many different banners and learning from each use case. So if you’re in need of some design inspiration or new use case ideas, we have you covered.
Below you’ll find a list of every single email banner we have launched this year. Browse through ‘em all, pick out your favorites, steal any of our ideas and make ‘em your own. And, as always, let us know how else we can be a resource for your email banner designs, ABM campaigns, or go-to-market strategy.
Love,
– The Terminus Marketing Team
