I wonder how these display in different email clients? Some of them look pretty difficult to make work in all the big ones.

Which email clients do they use to generate these? Thanks.

Looks like this list was picked by a designer. These emails are pretty, but very few of them would work well when displayed with images off and only a couple would provide any real information when viewed in the preview pane. And most of these aren’t typical “newsletters” either- they’re retail promotions and event announcements.

Probably the best examples here are the ones from the ESP’s eROI and MailChimp, as they balance the text with the imagery. Some image-heavy emails will work well for some brands, but in most cases marketers should be wary of creating emails that rely on images to deliver their message.

Adam, you’re absolutely right that there is more to email marketing than creating a nice design. First of all you need a text version of the mail and you need to make sure formatting is OK even when images are not loaded. However for inspiration it is OK and proper testing is always a must before bulk sending emails.
