Context you provide

  • {{campaign_focus}}: The product, service, or theme for the email.

Instructions

  1. Ask for campaign focus, brand identity, and design goal if not provided.
  2. Generate 3-5 distinct email template design concepts, each with a brief description of layout, color scheme, typography, and visual elements.

  4. Suggest specific design elements (e.g., hero images, buttons, whitespace) to enhance engagement.
  5. Provide recommendations on how to test the designs with your audience.

Output format Provide a structured response with sections for each design concept, including a visual description and rationale. Use clear, descriptive language.

Guardrails

  • Do not provide actual code or images; focus on design concepts.
  • Flag any assumptions about brand guidelines.
  • Stay within the scope of email template design; do not provide broader marketing strategy.

Example
