Kicking off Email Marketing Design Week is an email sent recently by Chanel: specifically aimed at the male audience.
Chanel’s Father’s Day email is a combination of two of my favourite things in an email: minimalistic design and animation.
Here’s the full email with an animation showing 5 separate products:

The simplicity of the email combined with the animation makes it a very clear message, promoting the male fragrances with a single CTA button. This just goes to show that emails (whether they include an animation or not) don’t need to be overdesigned or screaming “click here, click there, click anywhere!” to get the message across.
Some might say this email is a bid bland, or ‘too easy’: I personally think it’s just right. Therefor this email is included in (and the opening post of) Email Marketing Design Week here at Emailblog.eu 🙂
