Customers are looking for more than an email from you - they’re craving memorable experiences through the way they interact with your brand. According to a 2018 interactive email study, over 69% of customers prefer GIFs over static email, and brands who’ve recognized this shift in preferences have seen 3x more conversion compared to traditional static content.
With the email design landscape shifting towards interactive content, it’s time for you to step up your game - and what better way to do that than with GIFs. Let’s jump in to some well-executed GIF emails to get those ideas flowing 💡

Tinder makes the list with their email giving pointers on perfecting your profile. Each tip is paired with a GIF in a casual hand-sketched style - suiting their young adult demographic perfectly, both in visual design and by capturing their shorter attention spans.
Moo’s Roll the Dice
Moo entices customers to play a game - a pretty effective way to drive click-throughs if you ask me (when was the last time you turned one down?).
