A playful VIP win-back email with a coupon-ticket hero, exclusive return discount, and free-shipping incentive for lapsed ecommerce customers.

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 y1tarSO4yvsiJtDqIEWcw and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A playful, slightly cheeky win-back for lapsed VIP customers — the kind of reader who used to open every email. A coupon-ticket hero feels like a little gift waiting to be claimed, followed by an exclusive discount code, free shipping, and a soft “the cart’s still warm” nudge to come back.

  • Artwork: one coupon-ticket layout hero (rasterized image); everything below is native and clickable.

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] Coupon-ticket hero — apply the coupon-ticket layout template; recolor ticket body to #ffffff over page #fdf2f8, notch dots in pink #ec4899. Overlay copy: eyebrow “BACKSTAGE PASS”, heading “VIP, we saved your seat”, subline “Plus a little something on the house.” Text-only artwork — the working CTA is step 6.
  2. [native] Eyebrow — text. “YOUR EXCLUSIVE PERK”. fontSize: 13, fontWeight: 700, color #ec4899, letterSpacing: 2, textTransform: uppercase, center, generous top padding.
  3. [native] Heading — text. “Come back to 25% off”. fontSize: 26, fontWeight: 800, color #500724, center, tight padding.
  4. [native] Body — text. “We noticed you’ve been away — and honestly, we miss you. So we pulled a few strings and got you a VIP-only welcome-back treat.” fontSize: 16, color #6b7280, center, lineHeight: 1.7.
  5. [native] Code display — text. “VIP25”. fontSize: 36, fontWeight: 800, color #ec4899, center, 6px letter-spacing, tinted backgroundColor: #fdf2f8, generous padding (native text — oversized + copyable, never baked into the image).
  6. [native] CTA — button. Label “Shop your wishlist”, pink #ec4899 fill, white text, rounded, center.
  7. [native] Bonus line — text. “And yes — free shipping on us, no minimum.” fontSize: 14, fontWeight: 700, color #500724, center.
  8. [native] Fine print — text. “Code valid for 14 days. One use per customer. Excludes sale items.” fontSize: 12, color #6b7280, center.
  9. [native] Preference line — text. “Too many emails? Update your preferences — we’d hate to lose you entirely.” fontSize: 12, color #6b7280, center, links in pink #ec4899.
  10. [native] Footer — text. “Hopscotch · 214 Bloom Street, Austin TX 78704 · [Instagram] [Pinterest] [TikTok]”. fontSize: 12, color #6b7280, center, link color pink #ec4899. Custom text footer for the fictional brand — no social/address blocks.

Make it yours

  1. Swap the code (VIP25) and the offer (25% + free shipping) to your actual win-back deal.
  2. Recolor the pink accent to your brand — the ticket hero recolors with it.
  3. Tweak the eyebrow (“BACKSTAGE PASS”) to match your brand voice — premium, playful, or straight-laced.
