Summer is here and the sales are hitting hard, as each bank holiday comes around inboxes swell with offers aplenty.

Which retailers made there mark this month I hear you say? Stay tuned for the best of the month...

1. Boden SL:

Don’t miss out – last chance to get 25% off.

Ends tonight. Chosen for:

Style - This slick message with simple animation and beautiful design really stands out in the inbox.

Tone of voice - As with all Boden emails this has personality, it's part of a three stage sequence and the CTA for each varies with 'Gimmie', 'Quick, Click' and 'I Want In' being part of the charm.

I love how to the point this is focusing on the sale without devaluing the brand in the process.

2. Graham & Green SL:

From the theme to the choice of models to the image layout make this a stand-out email.

Social linkage - Social media is key for this communication with social icons, campaign # and using Instagram stars as models to highlight and inspire their audience.

This email works really well within a mobile device with imagery stacking/resizing and refocusing to work well within this medium.
