Text Formatting in Hunter Email Sequences

When sending emails with Hunter Email Sequences, the following settings are applied:

  • The font is defined by the software used to read the email ( Apple Mail, Thunderbird, etc.)

  • The font is defined by the website used to read the email (gmail.com / outlook.com)

πŸ‘‰ An option to set the font type and font size isn't supported, as B2B cold emails should be as plain and simple as possible. Due to that, it's recommended to avoid using special fonts, coloured text parts, variable text dimensions or adding CTAs.


Best practices when sending a cold email

When an email is opened from a recipient (a prospect we have found in Hunter or imported from an existing database, it should feel like a personal message sent from a sender and not like a newsletter or a generic email created with a non-personalised template.

If you are tempted to include a lengthy copy, multiple images, attachments, or special text formatting, make sure to ask yourself if you'd be interested in opening, reading, and replying to a similar email.

The average attention span for emails is approximately 8 seconds!
