Quick wins in Stripo: Fast improvements that bring real results

Quick wins in Stripo give teams a fast way to speed up production and ship clean emails without waiting for long onboarding. With a few simple tools inside the editor, you can shorten creation time, reduce review loops, and send campaigns that display correctly in every inbox.

Key takeaways

1. Quick wins require little to no setup.
2. Visible gains include faster builds, fewer mistakes, and smoother teamwork.
3. The strongest time-savers scale across every future campaign.
4. These improvements help teams show progress from day one.

1. Fastest wins: Visible results within minutes

These are features you can start using right away. They take almost no setup, yet they speed up how fast you move from draft to approval and help you send polished emails sooner. Each one removes a small daily blocker that often slows teams down.

1.1 Brand Guidelines kit

The Brand Guidelines kit gathers your design essentials in one place. You set fonts, colors, and modules once, then Stripo creates a PDF or mini-site you can send to teammates or clients. This helps everyone apply the same visual rules from the start.

Setup takes about a minute. That small step prevents a lot of back-and-forth later, especially when multiple brands or contractors are involved. When people join a project, they already know what every email should look like, so production begins right away.

1.2 Countdown timer

The countdown timer block shows the time left before a sale or event ends. You drop it into the layout, set a date, and publish. Stripo takes care of how it displays in different inboxes, including those with limited support for advanced visuals.

A clear deadline can drive more clicks. Subscribers see how long they have to act, which helps move decisions forward without adding extra elements to the design.

1.3 Collaboration links with commenting

Sharing emails for review often leads to scattered feedback. Collaboration links keep everything in one place. You generate a link, send it to reviewers, and they can comment on exact sections of the email, even if they do not have a Stripo account.

Comments stay attached to the right elements, and everyone can reply inside the thread. You also get notifications when someone adds feedback. This shortens the approval stage and reduces the need for screenshots or long message chains.

2. Compound time-savers: Multiply productivity across projects

Once you set these up, they keep saving time every time you build a new campaign. They help teams repeat successful layouts, work together without blocking each other, and move emails to the sending platform with fewer steps.

2.1 Reusable and synchronized modules

Reusable modules make recurring work faster. You create a block once, add it to the module library, then drag it into any project. When you update a synchronized module in the library, that update appears in every email where it is used.

Teams often use this for headers, product cards, and footers. Routine edits disappear, and recurring campaigns take far less time to build.

2.2 Real-time co-editing and version history

With real-time co-editing, multiple people can work on the same email together. You see each other’s edits as they happen, which removes delays that come from waiting for someone to finish.

If something goes wrong or a draft needs to go back to an earlier state, version history lets you restore a previous version with one click. This helps teams move quickly without worrying about mistakes.

2.3 One-click export to 90+ ESPs

Once the email is ready, you can export it straight to the sending platform. Stripo connects to more than 90 ESPs, including Mailchimp, HubSpot, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

You can choose to replace an existing template, add a new one, or export several at once. This keeps deployment simple and avoids file-handling mistakes that happen when moving code manually.

2.4 AI Assistant: Instant drafts and sequences

What it is

Stripo’s AI Assistant can generate a ready-to-edit email or a multi-email campaign from your prompt and brand context. It suggests structure, copy, and layout elements that you can adjust right inside the editor.

Why it is a quick win

It removes the slow start. Instead of building the first version from nothing, you get a draft in minutes. You can regenerate sections, edit text directly, and then apply your modules or design settings.

Impact

In internal tests, the AI-generated version took less time to produce and achieved a stronger open rate, since subject lines were written and refined by AI. Teams can move faster from idea to review and deliver full campaigns with fewer manual steps.

3. Performance tools to lift engagement and visibility

These features help subscribers notice your emails sooner and interact with what you show inside. They work well for promotions, product highlights, or any campaign that needs a stronger push.

3.1 Gmail Promotions annotations

Gmail Promotions annotations let you show deal details right in the Promotions tab. You can add a badge, discount, expiration date, or even a small image carousel.

The builder guides you through the setup and prepares the necessary code, so you don’t need to write anything manually. Your email gets a clearer spot in Gmail, which can help more people notice your offer.

3.2 Interactive Module Generator

The Interactive Module Generator helps you create polls, quizzes, games, or NPS surveys that work inside the inbox. Stripo provides AMP, kinetic HTML, and static fallback versions, so subscribers always see something they can use. For example:

This works well for gathering feedback or making promotional content more active, without asking developers to build custom features.

3.3 AMP blocks (carousel, accordion, form)

AMP blocks let subscribers explore content without leaving the email. Carousels show several products in a small space. Accordions keep long content clean and easy to scan. Forms can collect a reply with one click.

Stripo builds both AMP and fallback HTML, so the email stays usable even where AMP is not supported.

4. Going global fast: Multi-language workflows

When you send emails to audiences in different countries, keeping every version aligned can take a lot of time. Stripo helps manage all languages inside a single project, so you do not need separate files for every market.

You connect translations to the original modules, so if you change a product name or update a button, that change can sync across all versions. When everything is ready, each language exports cleanly to your sending platform. This lowers the chance of layout mistakes and helps global teams publish updates at the same moment.

5. Smart finishing touches: Polish and automation

These tools help you wrap up campaigns faster and present them at a higher standard. They support teams that move quickly and want every review to look professional.

5.1 Templates for a quick first email

Stripo offers more than 1,600 templates, including such as welcome emails, onboarding flows, seasonal sales, and other common campaigns. They give you a full layout to start with, so you only change the parts that matter. This saves a lot of time when a deadline is tight or when someone is new to the platform.

5.2 Custom preview domain

When you send a collaboration link, you can display it under your own subdomain instead of a generic one. This feels more polished during approvals and helps clients trust what they see. It also supports agencies that manage multiple brands.

5.3 GenAI helpers inside the editor

GenAI utilities in Stripo can write subject lines, offer text ideas, or generate simple graphics. You stay in the editor the whole time, without switching tools. Smaller teams benefit from this most, since they can move ahead even when they don’t have a designer or writer available.

6. Testing and validation: Confidence before sending

Before you hit send, this step ensures your email works properly across devices and inboxes so you avoid surprises and save time on fixes after launch.

Built-in rendering tests via Email on Acid integration:

• you can run previews across dozens of clients and devices directly inside Stripo, thanks to the embedded Email on Acid tool;
• the process: click the “Test” button → choose “Email clients” → run the test; results show screenshots grouped by mobile, web, and application;
• shared results can be attached to preview links, so reviewers see how the email renders;
• this helps catch layout issues (e.g., broken mobile views, incorrect background images, dark-mode mismatches) before the campaign goes live.
