Prompt objective

Create subject lines that consistently exceed 25% open rate for online store email marketing campaigns.

Real use case

The women's fashion e-commerce StyleBox has an email list of 45,000 contacts but an average open rate of 12%. Subject lines are generic ('Weekly New Arrivals', 'Check Out Our Deals'). They need to at least double opens to justify email marketing investment.

Customize these fields first

E-COMMERCE NAMENICHETARGET PERSONAAMOUNTNUMBERVALUEWEEKLY / 2X WEEKLY / DAILYFIRST_NAME

Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.

Prompt

Create 30 email subject lines for [E-COMMERCE NAME], an online store in the [NICHE] space targeting [TARGET PERSONA] with an average order value of $[AMOUNT].

Email list size: [NUMBER] contacts
Current open rate: [VALUE]%
Send frequency: [WEEKLY / 2X WEEKLY / DAILY]

**Organize into 6 categories (5 subjects each):**

1) **Promotion/Offer:**
- Real discount with urgency
- Include: percentage off, deadline, exclusivity

2) **Product Launch:**
- New arrival announcement with curiosity
- Teaser that opens a loop without revealing everything

3) **Abandoned Cart:**
- 3-email sequence (1 hour, 24 hours, 72 hours after abandonment)
- Progressive tone: gentle reminder → benefit reminder → scarcity
- + 2 alternative variations for each

4) **Content/Value:**
- Editorial content, tips, trend updates
- Shouldn't read like a sales pitch—should feel genuinely useful

5) **Re-engagement:**
- For subscribers who haven't opened in 30+ days
- Tone: we miss you, new content available, exclusive offer to win you back

6) **Post-Purchase:**
- Cross-sell and review request
- Timing: 3 days, 14 days, and 30 days after purchase

**For each subject line, deliver:**
- Subject line (max. 50 characters for mobile preview)
- Complementary preview text (max. 90 characters)
- Emoji recommendation (yes/no + which one if yes)
- Technique used (curiosity gap, personalization, numbers, question format)
- Estimated open rate (based on industry benchmarks)
- Best audience segment (entire list vs. engaged subscribers vs. recent purchasers)

**Anti-spam guidelines:**
- Avoid: excessive CAPS LOCK, multiple exclamation marks, 'FREE' in caps, 'URGENT'
- Personalization with [FIRST_NAME] — when to use and when to skip
- Suggested send times for the target audience
