A preheader or preview text is a short piece of copy that appears below the subject line in many email clients, like Gmail and Outlook, that gives the reader a sneak peek at the email.
One of the first things your audience sees when reading emails is the preview text. It's important for this first impression to be inviting and clear so that your audience is more likely to open the campaign. Preheaders are the last shot to impress your readers before they scroll on through their inbox, leaving your email campaign unopened and unread.

2. Select the template you'd like to use -- you can choose from your templates or previously sent campaigns, the professional templates Tailwind provides, or you can create an email campaign from scratch.
