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 STi31FvtqzAR4qU12z_8q and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A high-velocity streetwear drop email. A full-bleed pink-to-orange gradient holds a 96px gradient-fill wordmark with a text shadow, then a short, punchy feature list and a gradient pill CTA — countdown urgency without a countdown block.

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. [layout] Layout hero — build a free-form composition (600×320) via create_layout + set_layout_content. A tracked kicker over a single display wordmark, closed by one support line — no gradient, no image. Alt text: “NEONRUSH — Drop 04, member access, Saturday 10am ET”.
  2. [native] Headline — text. “The Drop 04 lineup”, fontSize: 36, color #fafaf9, center.
  3. [native] Standfirst — text. “Three colorways, 500 pairs each — once they are gone, no restock, no holds.”, fontSize: 20, color #838382, center.
  4. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “Get member access”, fill #9d174d, color #ffffff, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, center.
  5. [native] Body copy — text. “Air-cushion upper, reflective lace cage, and a glow-in-the-dark sole on every pair in the drop.”, fontSize: 16, color #838382, center.
  6. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  7. [native] Footer social — social. Icon row, social.color #bc6186, style circle-outline, center.
  8. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #838382, address.fontFamily Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. Swap “NEON RUSH” and the feature list for your actual drop name and product features — keep the all-caps, tracked rhythm.
  2. Keep Trebuchet for the streetwear tone, or switch to your brand’s display face.
  3. Recolor the pink-to-orange gradient to your drop’s palette — a cool blue-to-violet reads as well for a winter drop.

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.
