Returning to Text-Only Emails

In a world where we are constantly bombarded by visual stimuli, we advocate for a return to simplicity, to the essence of communication: the written word. We believe in the power of text-only transactional and marketing emails over highly designed ones. This manifesto presents our opinion on why we should embrace minimalistic email communication.

The Beauty of Minimalism

Less is indeed more. A simple, text-only email strips away the unnecessary frills and focuses on what truly matters: the message. It's a breath of fresh air in an inbox cluttered with flashy designs and distracting visuals. Minimalism in emails is not about being dull; it's about being clear, direct, and purposeful.

The Power of Communication

The written word has a unique power. It can persuade, inform, and connect. In a text-only email, words are the heroes. They are not overshadowed by flashy designs or complex layouts. They stand alone, commanding attention and respect. This focus on content promotes better understanding and engagement.

The Peacefulness

There's a peacefulness in simplicity. A text-only email is like a quiet conversation amidst the noise. It's a pause, a moment of calm that allows the recipient to focus on the message without distraction. It respects the recipient's time and attention, offering a tranquil, uncluttered space for communication.

The Efficiency

Text-only emails are quick to load, easy to read on any device, and accessible to all, including those with visual impairments. They are not hindered by slow internet speeds or incompatible email clients. They are efficient and inclusive, ensuring that your message reaches everyone, everywhere.

The Authenticity

A text-only email feels personal, like a letter from a friend. It's authentic and genuine, fostering a sense of trust and connection. It's not trying to impress with flashy designs; it's simply trying to communicate, to share a message, to connect.


In conclusion, we believe in the power of simplicity, the beauty of minimalism, and the effectiveness of text-only emails. We advocate for a return to the essence of communication, to the power of words, and to the peacefulness of simplicity. This is not a call to abandon creativity, but rather a call to embrace a different kind of creativity, one that values substance over style, clarity over complexity, and communication over decoration.
