“Enhancing the appearance of your email campaigns in Constant Contact can be easily achieved by adding a border. As a frequent user of Constant Contact, I have personally experienced the benefits of using borders to give my emails a more polished look. This article will walk you through the steps of adding a border in Constant Contact and also provide some helpful tips and tricks.”
Step 1: Accessing the Email Editor
First, log in to your Constant Contact account and navigate to the Campaigns tab. Select the campaign you want to add a border to or create a new one. Once you are in the email editor, you can start customizing your email.
Step 2: Inserting a Block
To add a border, you need to insert a block first. Click on the “Layout” tab on the right-hand side of the email editor. Choose the type of block you want to add, such as a text block, image block, or button block. Drag and drop the block into the desired location within your email.
Step 3: Customizing the Block
Once you have inserted the block, it’s time to customize it to add a border. Click on the block you just added, and a toolbar will appear at the top of the email editor. Look for the “Block Settings” option and click on it.
In the Block Settings window, you will find various customization options for your block. Scroll down to the “Border” section and click on it to expand the options. Here, you can choose the border color, thickness, style, and whether you want to add a rounded border or not.
Personally, I find that a subtle, light grey border works well for most email designs. However, feel free to experiment with different colors and styles to match your branding or add a unique touch.
Step 4: Saving and Previewing
Once you are satisfied with your border settings, click on the “Save” button in the Block Settings window. This will apply the border to the block in your email.
Before sending out your email, it’s always a good idea to preview how it will look to your recipients. Constant Contact provides a preview option that allows you to see your email in both desktop and mobile views. Make sure to check how the border appears in both views to ensure it is visually appealing and doesn’t interfere with the overall design.
