HTML Templates for mailing

There are a lot of ways to create HTML templates for mailing. If you plan on using Gmail then there are a few questions to ask:

1) how do you plan on designing the templates? you can have an artist create a newsletter email template and then ask a html coder who's familiar with creating template for email.

2) Sending the email - once you have your template ready then it's a question of setting the format in gmail so that the email type is set to HTML. (the default is text). Then in the source of the html you would paste the code that your html coder gave you and then send it.

Resources:
1) Website Templates | WordPress Themes | ThemeForest and look for "Email Newsletter Template". You'll find a pre-built design and code for a decent price.

2) if you want to customize the email for each person (Example: Hello Sam, Hello Sunny, Hello Catherine, ....) then you'll need software such as aweber, getresponse, mailchimp (free).

Good luck
