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.

Want this exact email? Click Use this template below to clone it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell your agent to clone the Temway share XqctRU6Xy-66dR7YHac9P and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

An appetite-first discount email built around a single hero card. A red-to-orange gradient panel carries a white burst badge; below it, a bold Poppins headline, a one-line promise, and a red CTA stamped with the promo code. The native stack keeps the code front-of-mind with a “How it works” block and a second CTA before a tight footer.

Snapshot

  • Goal: convert first-time diners with a 30%-off first-3-orders code.
  • Audience & tone: hungry city dwellers. Loud, fast, reward-led — the code is the hero, not the brand.
  • Palette: page #ede6de · container #fff7ed · text #1c2431 / #6a6d72 (muted) · accent #dc2626
  • Font: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif
  • Artwork: none — fully native blocks.

Build recipe

Each step is one block in the flat stack, top to bottom. [native] = a real email block. [layout] = a free-form layout embedded as a single image.

  1. [native] Kicker — text. “Tonight’s On Us”, fontSize: 14, color #d32424, center, uppercase.
  2. [native] Headline — text. “30% off your first 3 orders”, fontSize: 28, color #1c2431, center.
  3. [native] Body copy 1 — text. “Open the app, pick a restaurant, and apply the code below — a 20-minute delivery guarantee comes standard.”, fontSize: 16, color #1c2431, center.
  4. [native] Body copy 2 — text. “Use code FEAST30 at checkout. Minimum order $20, expires Sunday at midnight.”, fontSize: 16, color #6a6d72, center.
  5. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “Order now”, fill #dc2626, color #ffffff, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, center.
  6. [native] Body copy 3 — text. “Available now in NYC, LA, Chicago, and San Francisco — 200+ restaurants, zero delivery fees.”, fontSize: 16, color #6a6d72, center.
  7. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  8. [native] Footer social — social. Icon row, social.color #d32424, style circle-outline, center.
  9. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #6a6d72, address.fontFamily Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. Swap FEAST30 everywhere it appears (hero CTA, body bold, repeat CTA) — the code must match exactly in all three.
  2. Recolor red #dc2626 to your brand red; keep orange #f97316 as the gradient partner, not a second CTA color.
  3. Replace the burst badge’s “30%” only by editing the hero layout — the native stack never repeats the number, so a single hero edit propagates.

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.
