He emphasizes the importance of tailoring email design to the audience, whether business-oriented or more casual, and discusses the need for text-based templates for sales emails. Key points include understanding the audience, using visuals that resonate, and incorporating brand personality into email design.

For call-to-action (CTA) buttons, he advises making them clear and compelling, testing different designs for better click-through rates, and maintaining brand consistency across all emails to enhance recognition and conversion rates over time. He recommends limiting the number of fonts and font sizes to maintain visual coherence and using images and visuals to enhance design without making it cluttered. Ryan underscores the importance of testing and optimizing email designs, using metrics to improve performance, and ensuring that CTAs and links are strategically placed for higher engagement.
