Luckily for us, tour company Air Express knows that it&#8217;s not the variety of color that matters, but the way hues are used in your <a href=\"\/custom-template\">newsletter template<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Using a blend of warm oranges and reds to frame Tunisia and Egypt trip pricing, Air Express then breaks from script with a supremely inviting photo of a white sand beach, hammock and turquoise waters. As it stands, the radiant corals and deep yellows bring to mind a luxurious afternoon in a Sharm El Sheikh cafe, but the beach is a view so vivid it makes one ache to be there.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, Air Express does two things: show the world that bright colors can make a newsletter an optical gem, and awaken the travel bug in readers in cold and temperate climates alike. These are not easy feats, and for these reasons alone we&#8217;re thrilled to give Air Express our &#8220;Best Use of Color&#8221; prize.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the web version of the award-winner&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/community.benchmarkemail.com\/users\/airexpress2003\/newsletter\/Sep-08-2010-Email-1\">email campaign<\/a> in the Benchmark Community.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt10 pb10\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/blog_airexpress2003.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":164,"featured_media":966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2171],"tags":[176,733,734,735],"class_list":["post-965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beyond","tag-176","tag-email-newsletter-awards","tag-graphic-mail","tag-newsletter-ideas"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
