What is the promotions tab in Gmail?
All emails with deals, offers, promos, and digest end up in the Promotions tab. In other words, all bulk email newsletters that you send out go to this tab.
What are email annotations for Gmail?
Visually Gmail Annotations are rich email previews with additional info like product images, start and end dates of the deals, offer descriptions, and more. Technically it is a snippet of code that you can add to the HTML header in your email template.
How to add annotations to your email
Google now allows you to show:
- single image previews;
- product carousel;
- or just a deal badge with the offer end date and the discount amount displayed.
You can do it all either in the featured generator and paste code to your email, or you can do it with no code at all in the Stripo editor. For more information on the latter, read our Blog post.
