Power your email with AMP
AMP for email allows you to embed features like forms, ratings, carousels, accordions, dynamic data, calendar bookings, and games. Here is what AMP for email looks like:
What is AMP?
Have you ever searched on Google and noticed a little blue lightning bolt symbol next to the page name? Then you have experienced AMP or Accelerated Mobile Pages.
For years, Google has worked on improving the search experience for its users. One of the biggest challenges was the long load time on mobile browsers. In the digital world, even a second can be quite a long time. As a result, Google developed an open-sourced framework called ‘Accelerated Mobile Pages,’ which is the full form of AMP.
Today, the AMP framework is also available for the email platform—with just a few changes.
AMP for email, the new frontier
Components of a typical email include text, visuals, GIFs, and links. These links act as the bread and butter for email marketing campaigns. After all, a customer can engage and interact with brands only by clicking these buttons.
This is also precisely the problem. It increases the number of steps for users, thereby leading to drop-offs and lower conversions.
How are AMP emails different from regular emails?
Just like a website, the AMP email’s interactivity lies in the JS codes. AMP emails, as a result, are a mix of regular HTML and JavaScript codes.
This is why AMP emails are only supported by four clients–Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Mail.ru, and FairEmail. These email clients can process JavaScript codes while loading an email. However, remember that email clients support only a handful of JS scripts.
Improve engagement with AMP for email
With AMP for email, your users need not click on a CTA button and exit to a website page anymore. They can engage with you right within the email!
This can help reduce the number of clicks for a user and reduce friction. Such a seamless experience, in turn, can improve engagement rates.
Is there a case for NOT using AMP for email?
Emails designed with the AMP framework are currently supported only by the below email clients:
The interactive features and components of such emails will not work on other email clients like MS Outlook or Apple’s Mail app. However, there is a fail-safe for this.
Every AMP email is created with a fallback version. These are plain HTML versions of the same email; these will be served automatically if the email client does not support AMP.
If you are interested, we can help you create the AMP email and the fallback versions.
