AI Prompts for ChatGPT for Email Marketing

Before we write any email copy, I want to brief this campaign properly. Answer these questions and then confirm you have everything you need to write high-converting copy. Campaign type: [e.g. welcome series / product launch / win-back / abandoned cart]. Product or offer: [DESCRIBE]. Target audience segment: [DESCRIBE WHO WILL RECEIVE THIS]. The one action I want the reader to take: [CTA]. The main objection or hesitation this audience has: [DESCRIBE]. Tone: [e.g. friendly, urgent, professional]. Number of emails in the sequence: [NUMBER].

I want to build a [NUMBER]-email sequence for [AUDIENCE SEGMENT, e.g. new trial users / lapsed customers / post-purchase buyers]. Before writing the emails, map out the customer journey from their perspective: what do they know and feel at the start, what doubts or questions do they have, what needs to happen for them to take the next step? Use this journey to propose what each email in the sequence should accomplish and in what order.

I have an email list and I want to send a campaign about [OFFER / TOPIC]. My list includes: [DESCRIBE SEGMENTS, e.g. active buyers from the last 90 days, inactive subscribers, leads who never purchased]. For each segment, suggest: a different angle or message that matches where they are in the relationship with us, what to emphasize or de-emphasize, and whether any segment should be excluded from this campaign.

Write a one-page campaign strategy for this email campaign. Include: campaign goal, target segment, sequence length and cadence, key message and unique angle, the main call to action, success metrics to track, and the hook for the subject line theme. Use this brief: [PASTE YOUR CAMPAIGN BRIEF].

I am emailing [TARGET SEGMENT] about [PRODUCT OR OFFER]. List five different value proposition angles I could lead with. For each one: state the angle, explain why it would resonate with this specific audience, and give an example opening sentence. I will choose the angle that fits best before we write the copy.

Write a complete marketing email using this brief. Audience: [SEGMENT]. Goal: [WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO]. Product or offer: [DESCRIBE]. Key benefit to lead with: [BENEFIT]. Main objection to address: [OBJECTION]. Tone: [TONE]. Length: [SHORT / MEDIUM / LONG]. Include: a subject line, preview text, opening hook, body copy, call to action, and a P.S. if appropriate. Do not use generic openers like "I hope this email finds you well".

Write a welcome email for new subscribers to [BRAND / PRODUCT]. This email should: arrive immediately after sign-up, set expectations for what they will receive, deliver on the lead magnet or offer they signed up for if applicable, and make them feel they made a good decision by joining. Tone: [DESCRIBE]. The one thing I want them to do after reading: [ACTION]. Brand voice notes: [DESCRIBE OR PASTE EXAMPLES].

Write a promotional email for [PRODUCT / OFFER]. Launch date or deadline: [DATE]. Discount or incentive: [DESCRIBE]. Audience: people who know the brand but have not yet purchased [OR: existing customers being offered an upgrade]. Lead with the most compelling reason to buy now, address the main hesitation, and make the call to action impossible to miss. Include three subject line options with different angles: urgency, curiosity, and benefit-led.

Write a re-engagement email for subscribers who have not opened an email in [TIMEFRAME]. The tone should be honest and human, not desperate or punishing. Acknowledge the gap briefly, remind them of the value they signed up for, and give them an easy reason to stay or a clean way to leave. Include a subject line that will get an open from someone who has been ignoring us. Brand: [DESCRIBE].

Write an abandoned cart email for [PRODUCT NAME]. The shopper added the item to their cart but did not complete the purchase. Possible reasons they left: [LIST 2-3 LIKELY OBJECTIONS, e.g. price, distraction, comparison shopping]. This email should: remind them what they left behind, address the most likely objection, and make it easy to return and complete the purchase. Tone: helpful, not pushy. Include subject line and preview text.

Write ten subject line options for this email. Include at least: two that lead with a specific number or stat, two that use curiosity without being clickbait, two that are direct and benefit-focused, two that create urgency without false scarcity, and two under five words. Mark the three you think will perform best and briefly explain why. Email brief or copy: [PASTE].

This subject line is not working well: [PASTE CURRENT SUBJECT LINE]. The email is about [DESCRIBE THE EMAIL]. Rewrite it ten different ways. For each rewrite, briefly note the technique you used. Then tell me the top two you would test first and why.

Write five preview text options for this email. Preview text appears next to the subject line in the inbox and should add information, not repeat the subject line. Each option should be under 90 characters. Subject line: [PASTE]. Email is about: [DESCRIBE].

My current CTA is: [PASTE CURRENT CTA]. It is not converting well. Write eight alternative CTA options. Mix: action-focused buttons (verb + outcome), benefit-focused options (what they get), and urgency-driven options (limited time). Tell me which two you would test first against the original.

I want to A/B test this email campaign. Email brief: [PASTE]. Suggest the three most valuable elements to test first, in priority order. For each test, tell me: what to test, the two variants, what result would tell me the winner, and how long to run the test before calling it. Focus on tests with the highest expected impact on open rates and click rates.

Write a three-email nurture sequence for [AUDIENCE SEGMENT] about [PRODUCT OR TOPIC]. Cadence: send days [DAY 1], [DAY 3], and [DAY 7] after the trigger event. Each email should build on the previous one without repeating it. Email 1 goal: [e.g. educate]. Email 2 goal: [e.g. address objections]. Email 3 goal: [e.g. push to action]. Include subject line, preview text, and body for each email.

Write a three-email post-purchase sequence for [PRODUCT]. The buyer just completed a purchase. Email 1 (send immediately): confirm the purchase and set expectations. Email 2 (send day 3): help them get the most out of the product. Email 3 (send day 10): ask for a review or referral and introduce a complementary product. Each email should feel helpful, not salesy.

Turn this blog post into a marketing email. Do not just copy the article into the email. Instead, extract the single strongest insight or takeaway and build a short, compelling email around that one point. The email should tease the full post and drive clicks. Keep it under 200 words in the body. Blog post: [PASTE POST OR URL DESCRIPTION].

Write a five-email welcome series for new subscribers to [BRAND]. They signed up via [LEAD MAGNET / SIGN-UP FORM]. The series should: Email 1 (immediate): deliver value and set expectations. Email 2 (day 2): build credibility and share a key insight. Email 3 (day 4): tell the brand story or introduce the founder. Email 4 (day 6): address the main objection to buying. Email 5 (day 8): make the first purchase offer. Write all five with subject lines.

Rewrite this email as a plain-text version that will render correctly in plain-text clients and feel like a personal message rather than a newsletter. Keep the same message and call to action but strip all formatting, use short paragraphs, and write in a slightly more conversational tone. Original email: [PASTE].
