Flash Sale Email Template — 48-Hour Sitewide
A high-urgency 48-hour flash sale with a bold discount code and clear deadline. Designed for e-commerce promotional campaigns.

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.

it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell
your agent to clone the Temway share TaXDdLoCJSdwPI2Sg-S_l and rebrand. For the
full model, point an MCP agent at get_concept — email-structure,

An unapologetic blast. The free-form hero fills the frame with a pink-to-orange gradient, a sunburst, and sparkles framing a 76px “50% OFF” — then hands off to a native promo code block and a pill-shaped “Shop the sale” button. The urgency is structural, not desperate: the deadline (“Ends Sunday at midnight”) sits in the accent pink as the last word. No fine print, no exclusions, no hedging — just the code, the clock, and the CTA.

Make it yours
- Swap “50% OFF” and “FLASH50” for your own discount and code — update both the hero artwork and the native code block.
- Recolor the gradient (
#db2777→#f97316) to your brand — it carries the whole hero, so change it in one place. - Adjust the deadline copy (“Ends Sunday at midnight”) and the promo code callout background to match your sale window.
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.
