Prompt objective

Create two automated email sequences — one for cart abandonment recovery and one for customer win-back — that maximize revenue from existing leads and lapsed customers.

Real use case

Bella Moda, a women's fashion e-commerce, loses an estimated R$45,000/month to cart abandonment and has 12,000 customers who haven't purchased in 90+ days. They currently send one generic cart reminder email with a 3% recovery rate.

Customize these fields first

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

Act as an email marketing strategist. Design two automated email campaign sequences for [ECOMMERCE NAME] in the [INDUSTRY] sector.

Context:
- Monthly cart abandonment rate: [PERCENTAGE]
- Average order value: R$ [AMOUNT]
- Dormant customer definition: [NUMBER] days without purchase
- Dormant customer count: [NUMBER]
- Email platform: [KLAVIYO / MAILCHIMP / ACTIVECAMPAIGN / OTHER]
- Current email frequency: [NUMBER] emails/week

Deliver the following:

For each email, provide:
1. Timing (when it sends after abandonment)
2. Subject line (3 A/B test variations)
3. Preheader text
4. Full email body copy
5. Primary CTA text and button design direction
6. Personalization elements (product images, name, dynamic pricing)
7. Incentive strategy (if any — discount, free shipping, urgency)

Sequence flow:
- Email 1: Gentle reminder (2 hours after)
- Email 2: Social proof and benefits (24 hours after)
- Email 3: Incentive offer (48 hours after)
- Email 4: Last chance urgency (72 hours after)

**SEQUENCE 2: Customer Win-Back (3 emails)**

1. Timing (when it sends after last purchase)
2. Subject line (3 A/B test variations)
3. Preheader text
4. Full email body copy
5. Primary CTA text and button design direction
6. Personalization elements (past purchase references, recommendations)
7. Win-back offer strategy

Sequence flow:
- Email 1: "We miss you" + new arrivals showcase
- Email 2: Exclusive win-back offer
- Email 3: Final attempt + feedback survey

**ADDITIONAL DELIVERABLES:**

8. **Segmentation Rules**: How to exclude recent purchasers, frequent buyers, and unsubscribed contacts.
