The water element — Ease

Harmonious and refreshing, the water element brings about a calming energy of ease and purity.

Incorporate the water element into your email to create content that’s easy to consume. Here’s how:

Always use simple, clear language that is active and engaging. Include plenty of white space within your email layout so that it feels open, airy, and inviting. Avoid using tiny fonts that people will have a hard time reading on their desktop or mobile device. And finally, include subheads so that readers can quickly scan through your emails.

Note: Most people already scan through emails so you might as well make it easy for them.
