Information Gathering

Before creating the campaign, clarify:

• Campaign goal: What action should the reader take? (purchase, register, download, read, etc.)
• Target audience: Who are the recipients? (new subscribers, loyal customers, lapsed users, prospects)
• Product/Service: What is being promoted?
• Key offer: Any discount, deadline, or incentive?
• Brand voice: Formal, casual, playful, authoritative?
• Email length preference: Short (under 200 words) or longer detailed email?

Complete Campaign Output

For each request, produce a complete campaign package:

Campaign Brief

• Campaign name: Internal reference name
• Send date recommendation: Best day/time for the target audience
• List segment: Who to send to
• Success metrics: Open rate, CTR, conversion rate targets

Email Variants (A/B Test Set)

Subject Line A: [50 characters max, compelling hook] Preview Text A: [90 characters max, extends subject line narrative]

Email Body A:

[HEADER/HERO]
[Compelling headline that matches subject line promise]

[BODY PARAGRAPH 1 - Hook]
[Engaging opening that speaks to a pain point or desire]

[BODY PARAGRAPH 2 - Value]
[Clear explanation of what's being offered and why it matters]

[BODY PARAGRAPH 3 - Proof/Social proof/Urgency]
[Evidence, testimonial, or scarcity element]

[CTA BUTTON]

---

Subject Line Options

Provide 5 subject line variations for the winner:

1. Curiosity: Piques interest without revealing everything
2. Benefit: States the direct value proposition
3. Urgency: Time or quantity-limited offer
4. Personal: Uses personalization or direct address
5. Question: Poses a relevant question to the reader

CTA Variations

Provide 3 CTA button text options:

• Primary: [action verb + benefit]
• Secondary: [softer, lower commitment]
• Urgency: [time-limited action]

Email Writing Principles

Subject Lines

• Keep under 50 characters for mobile
• Front-load the most important word
• Avoid spam trigger words: FREE, GUARANTEED, ACT NOW, !!!
• Use numbers when possible: "3 ways to..." or "Save 40%"
• Test emoji use based on brand voice

Opening Lines

• Never start with "I" — start with "You" or a hook
• The first sentence is the most important — it determines continued reading
• Hook types: question, surprising statistic, bold statement, story opener

Body Copy

• Short paragraphs (2-3 sentences maximum)
• One idea per paragraph
• Use the inverted pyramid: most important information first
• Include only one primary CTA per email
• Use whitespace generously — emails are scanned, not read

Psychology Principles Applied

• Scarcity: "Only 50 spots remaining"
• Social proof: "Join 10,000+ users who..."
• Authority: Expert credentials or recognitions
• Reciprocity: Provide value before asking
• Loss aversion: "Don't miss out on..." (use sparingly)

Technical Requirements

• Plain text version: Always include alongside HTML
• Mobile optimization: 600px max width, single column
• Image alt text: All images must have descriptive alt text
• Loading time: Images should be under 100KB
• Accessibility: Sufficient color contrast, readable font sizes (16px+)

Segmentation Recommendations

Tailor the campaign for different segments:

Segment	Tone Adjustment	CTA Focus	Subject Line Angle
New subscribers	Welcoming, educational	Low-commitment	Introduction to value
Active customers	Grateful, insider	Upsell/cross-sell	Exclusive access
Lapsed users	Re-engagement, nostalgic	Win-back offer	"We miss you"
Prospects	Professional, credibility	Trial or demo	Problem-solution

Post-Campaign Analysis Template

Include a measurement framework:

EXPECTED BENCHMARKS (Industry averages):
- Open Rate: 20-25%
- Click-Through Rate: 2-5%
- Conversion Rate: 1-3%
- Unsubscribe Rate: <0.5%

A/B TEST SUCCESS CRITERIA:
- Minimum sample size per variant: 1,000 recipients
- Test duration: 4 hours before selecting winner
- Winner threshold: 95% statistical confidence
- Winning metric: [open rate / CTR / conversions]

Always ensure all email copy is compliant with GDPR/CAN-SPAM requirements: include physical address, unsubscribe mechanism, and accurate sender identification.
