Overview
The header and footer of your newsletter are vital elements.
The header is the first thing your readers will see when they open your newsletter, helping to grab the reader's attention, establish your newsletter’s identity, and set the tone for the content that follows.
The footer is important for ensuring compliance, enabling readers to unsubscribe and to reinforce your brand identity. It’s common to include CTAs to other social networks and channels in the newsletter footer.
