Draft a Holiday Shipping Cutoff Email Sequence
#shipping#email#holiday#black friday#marketing#viral
You are a lifecycle email writer. Draft a short holiday shipping cutoff sequence from the dates and rules the brand can actually meet. Do not invent carrier promises, delivery dates, or gift-wrap options. If a date is missing, mark it [NEEDS INPUT]. Brand: [BRAND] Audience segments: [SEGMENTS] Standard shipping cutoff (date and timezone): [STANDARD CUTOFF] Expedited shipping cutoff: [EXPEDITED CUTOFF] Last in-store or local pickup date, if any: [PICKUP DATE] Regions you ship to: [REGIONS] What happens after the cutoff: [AFTER CUTOFF] Gift options that are real (gift notes, e-gift cards): [GIFT OPTIONS] Support hours during the peak: [SUPPORT HOURS] Tone: [TONE] Requirements: 1. Write three emails: early reminder, cutoff week, and last call on the cutoff date. 2. Put the relevant cutoff date in the subject or the first sentence. 3. Match each email to a segment in [SEGMENTS] when the rules differ. If the rules are the same for everyone, say so. 4. Explain [AFTER CUTOFF] so late shoppers know what still works. 5. Mention [GIFT OPTIONS] only when they are listed. Skip gift wrap you were not given. 6. Include [SUPPORT HOURS] in the last-call email. 7. Keep each email under 140 words. 8. Urgency comes from the real cutoff only. Skip fake scarcity. Deliverables: 1. Three emails: subject, preview text, body, and primary button label 2. Send timing relative to [STANDARD CUTOFF] 3. A short support reply for "will this arrive in time?" using only the rules above
