FAQ of the Month

Q: Sometimes I have trouble viewing the images on my smart phone from an Email Marketing campaign that is deployed by Data-Dynamix while my friend is able to view images on their phone just fine. Why does this happen? A:This largely depends on the screen size of the phone being used. On screens with a higher amount of pixels, most creatives will show up fine in Landscape mode, with some newer phones (like the iPhone 4 and the Galaxy Nexus) showing them fine in portrait mode as well. The only real problem comes in creatives with tiny text inside of an image, as this will generally be unreadable without zooming in. If a creative is being designed for mobile it is important to keep in mind that many smartphones have screens which are 360 pixels wide, which is a little more than half the width of a standard creative. It is best to use large text for important headers and images, and to make the main body text an average size, instead of using small text. Most mobile email clients will size the creative down to the width of the screen by default, so having large clear text will ensure that everything is readable even after resizing and a default mechanism may occur that presents the “Click Here if Having Trouble Viewing this Image” notification. Whereas 4G or phones connected to Wi-Fi networks will be optimized an images will populate the screen effectively.
