7 Email Banner Examples I Love (For Your Inspiration)
Last week, I was drinking coffee when an email from Adidas popped up. At the top, I could see my 9,000+ loyalty points displayed prominently in the banner, along with an offer that immediately caught my attention: a 30% discount on my next purchase if I redeemed those points.
