A header for your newsletter

Your brand · Written idea

Give your monthly email a name and a header past clients recognize the moment they open it. Keep it plain enough to reuse every issue, changing only the month.

What you supply.

  • A newsletter name you will keep using
  • Your brand colors and logo, if you have them
  • The month or issue line for each send
  • Your email platform’s header width

What you can change.

Check the header on a phone and keep the name large enough to read there. Add alt text with the newsletter name.

The outline.

  1. Name

    [Newsletter name], the largest words in the header and easy to read on a phone.

  2. Issue line

    [Month Year], smaller, and the only part you change each month.

  3. Your mark

    [Your logo or your name], small, in the same corner every issue.

  4. Alt text

    “[Newsletter name] from [Your Name], [Month Year].”

Build it yourself.

Use the outline to make one email header in any design tool. Fill every bracketed field with your own details and check it before sending.
