**TOP TIP**
We know we said five tips, but we’re feeling the love so much at For-Sight Towers, here’s an extra tip for you!
Make sure their heart skips a beat when they see you
Your featured image is key in highlighting your offer so this image must be of high quality. GIFs are a great replacement of a main image but please remember that not all email clients support GIFs. To ensure that you get your offer across seamlessly, it is crucial that your main message displays on the first frame of a GIF!
