Adding Images to Your Message

You can add images anywhere in your message. Your logo and banner are already loaded into the appropriate sections of the templates; these could be altered as you see fit.

Some templates have sections identified as image areas (e.g. TOP IMAGE). These areas are not restricted to images. You can enter text in image areas, as well.

There are three ways to insert or add images to your broadcast:

• Insert an image from the Asset Manager. The Asset Manager generally stores images that support your branding; that is, images such as logos and banners, event identity, and images you will use repeatedly. These images appear inside your message.
• Browse to an image on your computer network and insert it. Images added using Browse do not display in Preview. They will appear when you send yourself a test email.NOTE: Best Practice is to upload every image you will use in any broadcast, as only images in the Asset Manager will be displayed in Preview mode.
• Enter the url of an image.

Your image should be sized before you insert it into your broadcast. See the page on Image Asset Dimensions for more detail.
