At Bronto, we work hard to implement features that not only make your life easier, but also make you a better email marketer. One such feature is Inbox Previews. Inbox Previews let you see what your message will look like in a variety of different in-boxes before you actually send out the message. This feature can save you a lot of time and ensure that your contacts receive a great message, regardless of what inbox they use. Inbox Previews can be purchased from within the application by clicking on the Account Info link at the top right of the page.

You will need to allow approximately 10 minutes for the previews to be generated. You will be notified via an alert when the inbox previews are ready to view, so why you are waiting, you can navigate to other areas of the application.
Take A Look Around
Once your Inbox Previews have been generated, you can click on each individual Inbox Preview type to see a larger view of what the message will look like in that specific inbox.
Inbox Previews allow you to take the guess work out of designing your messages and can be a massive time saver. Got a suggestion for Inbox Previews? Let us know in the comments section below!
