It’s no exaggeration to say that bubble letter fonts are making a huge comeback right now. In the face of simple and uneventful typefaces, their puffy rounded edges are a sight for sore eyes. They’re lively, friendly, bubbly, and fun. They call to mind soft clouds, gummy candies, and graffiti tags you’d typically see at a skate park.
These are an exploding trend right now, and included in that trend is anything that looks hand-drawn; scribble-like doodles and hand-style graffiti styles are all the rage! So we thought what better time than now to collect and feature some of our favorite bubble fonts. These are all free-to-use fonts made by talented artists, illustrators, and type designers. We even included some graffiti-style fonts we thought were simply too good to pass up!
We’re thrilled to show you how versatile and creative you can be with such an organic style. Not only that, but to help incorporate them in your designs, we’ve incorporated them into some of Snappa’s pre-made templates. See for yourself how easy it is to drop them in! Feel free to click on any of the images below to edit the original template we used. Let’s get started!
Every single business—no matter how big you are, what industry you belong to, or what customers you serve—must have a strong email marketing game. It’s a need, not a want, as email marketing is one of the most high-yielding, high-efficiency marketing channels you can use.
There’s an abundance of data to back this up, but these are some of my personal favorite statistics:
41.5% of brands surveyed in a study said that email marketing was critical to business success
Revenue from email marketing is estimated to reach nearly 11 billion USD by the end of 2023
50% of consumers make purchases from marketing emails at least one time per month

Email writing does require a little bit of practice and a lot of strategy, but the good news is that understanding the anatomy of an email from a business and marketing perspective can give you everything you need to get started.
In this post, we’re going to break down the four crucial components in the anatomy of an email and share tips for how to excel with each one. [continue reading…]

When the floors need to be cleaned, I don’t ask my husband to “mop” the house; I ask him to “Swiffer” the house.
We don’t actually even use a Swiffer; we have a similar product from OXO with refillable cleaning jugs and washable cleaning pads.

Email newsletters are an essential part of any content marketing strategy.
Businesses and entrepreneurs often keep up with their customers and internal staff via monthly email newsletters. If you create content for your business or the company you work for, then you’re likely familiar with creating email blasts and newsletters on a regular basis.
Depending on how often you schedule your company newsletter out to your subscribers, you’ll likely need plenty of creative ideas and content for each send. Creative content includes not only written copy for each section of your newsletter but also eye-catching images.
Most email marketing software includes image tools that allow you to place graphics into your email newsletters, including email headers. It’s important to represent your brand well not only through high-quality copy, but also with engaging graphics.
A well-designed email newsletter header will visually align with your brand while also communicating important information your audience needs to know. Using attention-grabbing images will help showcase your newest product launch, offer your customers a discount on their next order, or announce any upcoming special events.
Looking for fresh ideas for your email marketing, plus the images that go with each send? We’ve assembled some prompts for you today, along with a few of our favorite graphic examples from Snappa.
