We are excited to introduce the incredibly helpful Widgets feature to the ExpressPigeon email newsletter design process. On our mission to help you easily connect and communicate with your audience, we found major obstacles to quickly and easily inserting videos, Google maps, countdown timers, and buttons into newsletters. To improve the process, we developed four custom widgets that should improve the user experience. Hope you will enjoy them! :)

The Video Widget: Add videos that actually play.

The Video Widget makes it easy to embed YouTube videos that require just one click to play, creating an audience-friendly viewing experience.

How-To: Copy & paste YouTube link, click “Save”.

Map Widget: Add maps for key locations.

The Map Widget makes it quick and easy to insert Google Maps into your email newsletter, displaying key locations to your audience.

How-To: Copy & paste Google Maps link, click “Save”.

Countdown Widget: Add a countdown timer for key events.

Make sure you include the countdown widget for important events! When your audience opens the email, they see the countdown in real-time.

How-To: Select countdown type, select countdown date & time, click “Insert”.

No need to spend countless hours developing a button for your email newsletter. Button Maker makes it easy to create a clean, effective button for your email newsletter.

How-To: Select design elements, insert text & links, click “Save”.

Wow, that is a gigantic button! Its size is adjusted autoatically as you change font size.

More blog posts are coming with exciting details on every widget.
