How to Use the Plain Text Email Editor

Enrollio offers three email editor options to match your communication style. The Plain Text editor gives your emails a simple, personal feel—like a message from your personal inbox.

Why Use Plain Text Emails?

Plain text emails focus on your message without heavy design or branding. They work great for:

  • Text-heavy updates — newsletters, policy changes, or detailed information
  • Personal messages — welcome emails, apology notes, or one-on-one communications with families
  • Better deliverability — plain text emails look great on any device and avoid rendering issues
Pro Tip: Research shows that families are nearly twice as likely to engage with a plain text email compared to a heavily designed one. Sometimes simpler really is better.

Benefits of Plain Text Emails

  • Simple and direct — no design skills needed
  • Personal touch — feels like genuine communication, not marketing
  • Works everywhere — displays consistently across all email clients and devices
