Choose a supported format, either JPG, PNG or GIF (which usually has a high click rate, although it can not be compatible with all client mailboxes)
Test the visual experience across various screen sizes, from small mobile screens to larger desktop monitors, by clicking on “Send test email” and visualizing it on multiple devices

Activate predictive emails

Proactively informing buyers of the exact route of their items will give them more contextual information and limit the contact rate! 🥰

83% of shoppers say that they expect regular communication about their packages (source). Bigblue now enables merchants to send predictive emails.

Carrier delay	Sent when the carrier is facing a delay and exceeds the estimated date
Pickup point collect reminder	Sent for pickup point deliveries, when the order has still not been picked up 2 days before the deadline

Hence, to avoid failed deliveries and decrease support volumes: activate predictive emails.
