Why Email Accessibility Boosts Subscriber Engagement
from The Email Marketing Podcast with Fexingo: Newsletters, Open Rates, and Subscriber Growth · host Fexingo
Lucas and Luna dive into the overlooked power of email accessibility — making your emails work for subscribers with visual impairments, cognitive differences, or device constraints. They unpack a 2025 study from the Email Experience Council showing that accessible emails see 28% higher click-through rates and 15% more conversions. Lucas walks through three specific changes: semantic HTML structure, high-contrast color ratios, and descriptive alt text for images. Luna pushes back on the 'too technical' objection, citing Litmus data that 62% of subscribers read emails with images blocked anyway. They end with a practical playbook: start with one accessibility tweak per campaign, audit your dark-mode rendering, and test with screen-reader tools like VoiceOver or NVDA. No fluff, no guilt — just better emails that also happen to be more inclusive. #EmailMarketing #Accessibility #InclusiveDesign #SubscriberExperience #OpenRates #ClickThroughRates #SemanticHTML #DarkMode #AltText #ScreenReader #EmailStandards #UX #ConversionOptimization #Litmus #EmailExperienceCouncil #MarketingStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
