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.

Over MCP, tell your agent to clone the Temway share oHefeqVxXvHkirkd8bz0M and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

The email that fills the early-bird quota before prices jump. A hairline-bordered offer card states the early-bird rate and what it includes in one calm panel, a live countdown timer ticks down to the moment early-bird pricing expires, and a single button locks in the lower rate. Built for SaaS conferences, summits, and paid events where the pricing deadline is the single most powerful conversion lever.

About promotional email templates

A promotional email has exactly one job: drive an action before a deadline. Everything about the design — the countdown, the single dominant CTA, the offer stated in the first line — exists to make the deadline feel real rather than decorative.

See all promotional templates →

How much urgency should a promotional email create?

Enough to justify a countdown timer or an "ends [date]" line, but tied to a real deadline — the templates below use a visible countdown or explicit expiry date rather than vague "limited time" language.

Can I add a discount code or coupon to one of these templates?

Yes — several templates below are built around a coupon-stub or code-reveal hero; clone one and swap in your own code and terms.

What's the difference between a flash-sale and a seasonal-offer template?

A flash-sale template is built for a short window (hours to a couple of days) with heavy countdown emphasis. A seasonal-offer template runs longer — a week or more — and leads with the occasion instead of a ticking clock.

Will a promotional template trigger spam filters?

Temway's proofread check flags common spam triggers — excessive punctuation, all-caps subject lines, missing unsubscribe links — before you send, so issues specific to promotional copy get caught before they reach an inbox.
