Luxury Card Promotional Email -
Case Study

Role: Email Designer/Developer

Overview

Designed and developed a responsive promotional email concept for the Luxury Card Mastercard® Gold Card™. The project demonstrates production-focused HTML email development, responsive design, personalization, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud AMPscript concepts.

Design & Development

The email extends Luxury Card's premium black-and-white aesthetic through bold typography, high-contrast content sections, and prominent calls to action.

The email was hand-coded using table-based HTML, nested tables, and email-safe CSS to support consistent rendering across email clients and screen sizes.

SFMC AMPscript & Personalization

AMPscript was incorporated to demonstrate subscriber-level personalization, including:

Because the project was developed outside a live SFMC environment, mock customer data is used for the browser preview while production AMPscript examples are included in the source code.

AMPscript Implementation

Subscriber Data & Fallbacks

%%[
VAR @firstName, @customerType, @currentPoints

SET @firstName = AttributeValue("FirstName")

IF Empty(@firstName) THEN    
SET @firstName = "there"
ENDIF

IF Empty(@currentPoints) THEN
