Fact for user safety, forms do not work in all email programs, so they are not recommended for use in email marketing. However, it is also a fact that there are businesses that rely heavily on searches to generate results, such as hotel booking sites, ticket purchases, advertisements and streaming services. Those who receive email marketing from these sites may not be interested in what is offered in a specific message, but their content may remind the person to search for something else that is of interest to them. Offering a search field would be great, but how can you have a search in email marketing if it is not possible to guarantee that it works in all email programs? There are two possibilities, each with its positive and negative points: using a real search or a fake one within the email. To use either of them, it is important that there is already a search on the website in question, because in both cases the results will be presented there. The question is whether to let the recipient type the search term into the email or have them do it on the website.
ROYAL QUEST When choosing to offer a real search within email marketing, you must be aware that it will not work in all email programs and, therefore, provide methods to hide it in the layout when the email marketing is viewed in these programs. This requires consulting the reading habits of people on the mailing list – to find out which email programs are most used by the public -, good knowledge of HTML and CSS – to be able to create instructions that change the display of content in the layout according to the program of email used – and, of course, time available to do lots of testing . Our most recent Peru Mobile Number List survey identified the lack of support for HTML forms in practically all versions of Outlook (webmail, iOS and Android apps and desktop from 2007), in the Gmail app on iOS, in Yahoo! Mail app (iOS and Android) and on UOL, BOL, Terra and R7 webmails. Each email program works in its own way, and it is necessary to know the message display structure of each of the programs that do not support forms well to know how to hide the search engine when email marketing is viewed in one of them.
As this method is more complex, time-consuming and less reliable – because email programs can change their structure, literally, from one moment to the next -, let's focus on the fake search, which will work for everyone, always! FAKE SEARCH Offering a fake search in email marketing is simple. Simply produce your visual effect with images or other HTML and CSS resources, inserting in them a link to the location on the website where the actual search can be used. To do this, it is important that the search field already exists and is very prominent at the top of the website, because when the person clicks on the visual search element in the email, they will need to have access to the real search field quickly and easily. Fake search field in image in non-responsive email marketing There are no secrets here: in your email marketing layout, create the visual element of the search and export it as an image to insert into the HTML code. In non-responsive email marketing, this image will remain the same size proportions whether the email is viewed on a desktop or mobile application. <img src=“busca.png” alt=“Faça uma busca no site” width=“600” border=“0” style=“display: block;” / view rawfake-search-for-email-img.html hosted with by GitHub When viewed on a smartphone, this image will be displayed smaller.
