Your Fancy Design Is Killing Your Conversions
People think fancy design means credibility. It actually means people tune out. Bright colors, branded banners, and slick layouts scream “corporate.” Readers see a polished ad, not a personal message. That’s the last thing you want when you're trying to build trust.
Most readers don’t want another shiny flyer in their inbox. They want a note from someone real. Something that feels direct. Like it was meant for them.

✉️ The Plain Text Power Move
Plain text wins because it feels personal. It mimics how you'd talk to a friend. No fancy templates. No HTML wizardry. Just words that speak.
It also loads instantly on any device. No weird rendering issues. No slow load times that make people bounce. You’re there in their inbox like a trusted confidant.
People buy from those they trust. Plain text says you’re not trying to trick them. It says you stand by your words.
🔎 The Psychological Edge
When something looks like an ad, the brain says “ignore.” But when it looks like a personal email, people read it. They lean in.
This taps into a core truth about human behavior. We’re trained to spot pitches and skip them. We crave connection.
It’s not about dumbing things down. It’s about removing barriers. Making it frictionless to believe you.

🧠Try This Instead
Get rid of the elaborate templates. Write like you're talking to one person. Use short sentences. Direct language. Make them feel like they’re the only ones reading.
Test two versions. One with your usual design. One in plain text. Track which one lands better. Watch which one gets more replies and genuine engagement.
This isn’t about being lazy. It’s about being deliberate. Writing like you actually care.
đź’ˇ Final Thought
Most people spend hours tweaking visuals while ignoring their message. Flip that. Make your message impossible to ignore because design should serve the words, not hide them.
If you want readers who trust you, speak to them like they’re real people because they are.
