More functionality with layout comparable to MailChimp

It would be great to have more layout options like Mailchimp offers. Instead of just one picture across the whole email, have the ability to have 2 columns, etc. We would like a little more pizazz in our layout.

THIS! Considering Weebly's web building platform is decent, I was floored at how bad the marketing email interface is. Maybe ask your online development team to take that over. We should be able to choose fonts, colors, etc AND change them for each section (not just the overall email). We should also have access to our saved elements (brand colors, image library, etc) for both website and email. And for sure multiple columns need to be implemented. Also, while I don't use the feature myself, I've seen people asking over and over and over for the ability to personalize their emails with their customers' names, so I'll go ahead and amplify that point as well. 

Seriously, I just switched to Square and was really hoping to bring my marketing campaigns in-house, but the interface is completely unusable for anything more complex than a discount code. I'm finding so many gaping holes in Square's overall functionality...I hope I didn't make a mistake in switching. Have any of the developers actually worked in retail before?
