Modular Email Design Elevates Quark Expeditions' Travel Experience

Quark Expeditions, a pioneer in polar adventure travel, sought to reposition itself towards the high-end luxury travel audience. We partnered with Block+Tackle to redesign Quark Expedition’s outdated email series, focusing on creating modular, visually appealing, and engaging designs. The goal was to reflect a modern, high-end aesthetic while empowering Quark Expeditions with flexibility.

The Challenge

Quark Expeditions needed a way to align their email communications with the expectations of their luxury travel clientele. Their existing designs lacked the sophistication and modularity necessary to appeal to this market segment. They needed elevated emails that look modern and allow for consistent adaptability to keep their campaigns fresh and engaging.

The SOlution

We took a unique approach by repurposing Quark Expeditions’ existing photography and video assets. Using editorial layout techniques, we were able to elevate the email designs to a new level of sophistication. The modular system we developed allowed Quark to mix and match different design pods, ensuring their emails remained dynamic and visually appealing over time. This approach provided flexibility while maintaining a cohesive, high-end brand image that drew readers in and encouraged them to engage further.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

The Result

The redesigned email series were a hit with Quark Expeditions, who reported excellent click-thru rates (CTR)—a clear testament to the effectiveness of the design. Quark’s satisfaction with the designs underscored their success, as achieving high CTR is considered the ultimate compliment in email design. The new modular system resonates with their luxury audience and provides the versatility needed for ongoing campaigns.
