Finance Newsletter Email Template — Issue Contents Index
A market-brief newsletter that opens with a wordmark and a one-line summary, then hands the reader a four-entry contents index with read times in tabular figures.

The prompt
Two ways to build this email in plain language. The fastest is Temway's in-editor assistant — open the chat drawer in the email editor and paste the recipe below. Or connect Claude or ChatGPT via Temway's MCP and paste it there; the agent builds the email step by step. Either way, adapt the copy and colors to your brand.
- An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
- A
[layout]step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links. - Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.

The weekly brief for readers who skim first and commit second. After the wordmark and one line of framing, the email hands over a contents list: four entries, each with an index number, a title and a read time that column-aligns down the page. Everything after it is optional reading, which is the honest way to send a digest.
Snapshot
- Goal: let a busy reader decide in ten seconds which part of this week’s brief they will actually read.
- Audience & tone: subscribers to a market or policy brief. Precise, unexcited, numerate — no hype, no exclamation marks.

Make it yours
- Rewrite the four index entries and the four native sections to match — the index is an image, so the two must be kept in step by hand.
- Set honest read times. A “2 min” that takes eight is the fastest way to lose a brief’s audience.
- Recolor the navy accent to your brand hue; the index’s kicker, rule and entry ink all derive from it.
About newsletter email templates
A newsletter is the one email category built for a relationship, not a single moment. There is no hard deadline and no one dominant CTA — the job is to show up on a predictable cadence often enough that subscribers recognize the format and know where to look for the update they actually care about.
See all newsletter templates →How is a newsletter template different from a promotional email template?
A newsletter is built for a recurring cadence and a returning audience — the design favors consistent section structure, so readers know where to look each issue, over a single hard sell. Promotional templates are built around one offer and one deadline instead.
What sections should a company newsletter include?
Most effective newsletters below hold to three or four recurring sections — a short editor's note, one or two curated highlights, and a closing link or two — rather than trying to cover everything that happened since the last send.
Can I reuse the same newsletter template every month?
Yes, and it's the recommended approach — clone it once, then swap the content each cycle so subscribers recognize the format immediately instead of relearning a new layout every send.
Do Temway newsletter templates support an unsubscribe link and merge tags?
Yes — every template includes a compliant unsubscribe footer and supports Temway's merge-tag picker for personalizing subject lines and greetings per recipient.
