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 WEB3BCQcYD3F2q9xFehfA and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A black-on-gold luxury launch email built like a numbered art print. The hero is a full-bleed black panel bordered in hairline gold, split into a product image on the left and an italic gold headline + notes line + outlined CTA on the right. The native stack below stays minimal — a short flacon story and a single italic engraving line — so the scarcity (1 of 500) does the selling.

Snapshot

  • Goal: announce a numbered luxury fragrance and drive exclusive-access discovery.
  • Audience & tone: luxury beauty buyers. Moody, sensory, scarcity-led — copy in fragments, not sentences.
  • Palette: page #1d1d1d · container #0a0a0a · text #fafaf9 / #838382 (muted) · accent #8a6a1f
  • Font: Georgia, Times New Roman, 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. “Maison Noir · New Fragrance”, fontSize: 14, color #987c3a, center, uppercase.
  2. [native] Headline — text. “An ode to the night”, fontSize: 28, color #fafaf9, center.
  3. [native] Body copy 1 — text. “Bergamot, black rose, and smoked vanilla, bottled at midnight in Grasse — 50ml Eau de Parfum, $185.”, fontSize: 16, color #fafaf9, center.
  4. [native] Image — image. Alt text: “Maison Noir Absolu flacon in smoked glass”, center.
  5. [native] Story title — text. “The flacon”, fontSize: 20, color #fafaf9, center.
  6. [native] Body copy 2 — text. “Hand-blown smoked glass with a magnetic cap — each flacon is numbered, one of only 500 ever made.”, fontSize: 16, color #fafaf9, center.
  7. [native] Body copy 3 — text. “Complimentary engraving is available on every flacon ordered through December.”, fontSize: 16, color #838382, center.
  8. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “Discover Noir Absolu”, fill #8a6a1f, color #ffffff, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, center.
  9. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  10. [native] Footer social — social. Icon row, social.color #987c3a, style circle-outline, center.
  11. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #838382, address.fontFamily Georgia, Times New Roman, serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. Swap the product image URL (the layout’s image element file.url) for your real flacon shot — keep the 240×410 crop and object-fit: cover.
  2. Recolor gold #d4af37 to your maison’s metal tone; it appears in the hero border, eyebrow, headline, notes line, CTA, and social row.
  3. If the launch is open rather than numbered, soften “1 of 500” in the flacon body and the scarcity framing — the rest of the email holds without it.

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.
