A high-performing email is an email that accomplishes the goal for which it was sent. If, for instance, you're sending out an abandoned cart email, that email would be classified as high performing if it accomplished the goal of getting recipients to complete their purchase.

the email needs to start with a tempting subject line and the preview text should be like a sneak peek into the email. Next, use personalisation with the name and keep a clear and concise email leading them towards your goal of the email and CTA

Attention-grabbing subject line: A short, catchy subject line that accurately conveys the purpose of the email and entices the recipient to open it.

Personalized greeting: Use the recipient's name to create a personalized connection.

Clear and concise message: Use short paragraphs and bullet points to convey your message in a clear and concise way. Keep in mind that most people scan emails rather than reading them in full, so make sure your key points stand out.

Call-to-action: Clearly state the action you want the recipient to take and make it easy for them to do so. This could be clicking on a link, filling out a form, or simply replying to the email.

 

By following these best practices, you can create an effective email that engages your audience and drives action.

I think a succesful layout for a high performing emails should be crafted in AIDA seqeuence, as the email should go in the format of inverted pyramid of AIDA to gain the attetion, holding the the interest and persuading the reader to take action as suggested in the email.

You should start by knowing the goal of the email, the audience segment, and what is valuable to that segment.

 

From there be sure to have a catchy, creative title that is relative to the email copy. 

Then treat the preview text like a sneak peak.  Write powerful copy that captivates the reader, lets the reader know either that you understand their painpoints, can educate them, are a qualified expert, offer the solution they are looking for, or appreciative of the current customer and want them to join your membership program for continued benefits. This is dependent upon  where you are with your funnel. The copy shouldn't be too long and show white space inbetween . Bold some keywords for emphasis. Also you should have images within that support the copy and your goal. When the reader clicks they should be directed to a landing page that provides more information/sign up page/ download page that is about the exact topic in your email.
