Abandoned Cart Email That Recovers Lost Sales — GLOW SKIN Sample
This is a sample abandoned cart email I wrote for an e-commerce skincare brand.
Problem: 70% of shoppers abandon cart.
Goal: Bring them back without being pushy.
What I did:
Empathetic opening (no guilt-trip)
3 benefits: clean ingredients, free shipping $50+, cart saved 48hrs
Product reminder: Hydrating Serum $32
Strong CTA: Return to Your Cart
15% incentive code SAVE15
Result: This style helps stores recover 10-15% of carts = extra $2k-$5k/month.
Tools: Klaviyo, Email Copywriting
Available for your store — DM me!

Sending the same email to everyone isn't always the best approach.
People can be at very different stages of the customer journey.
For example:
→ New subscribers may need a welcome email
→ Interested prospects may need more education
→ Existing customers may need follow ups
→ Inactive customers may need re-engagement
→ Recent buyers may need helpful post purchase content
That's where email segmentation becomes useful.
Instead of sending one message to everyone, you can make the message more relevant to each audience.
Better segmentation can lead to better communication.
Exactly. Segmentation helps turn one generic message into more relevant communication for each audience.

EMAIL 1 — The problem
Subject: Your business might not have a visibility problem
You’re posting.
You’re showing up.
You’re talking about what you do.
But somehow, people still don’t seem to understand why they should choose you.
That can feel like a visibility problem.
Sometimes, it isn’t.
Sometimes, the real problem is that your message isn’t making the value of your business clear enough.
When someone lands on your website or sees your content, they should be able to quickly understand:
What do you help with?
Who is it for?
And why should they care?
If those answers aren’t clear, posting more won’t necessarily fix the problem.
The message comes first.
Tomorrow, I’ll show you one simple way to check whether your current messaging is doing its job.

EMAIL 2 — The insight
Subject: Try this before creating another post
Open your website.
Now imagine you’ve never heard of your business before.
Give yourself 10 seconds.
Can you answer these three questions?
What does this business help me do?
Is this actually for someone like me?
Why should I trust them?
If you have to search for the answers, your potential customer probably has to as well.
And when people have to work too hard to understand an offer, they often leave.
Your copy doesn’t need to say everything.
It needs to make the right things clear.
That’s where strong positioning and messaging can change the way people experience your business.
If your message feels harder to explain than your service should be, that’s worth looking at.

EMAIL 3 — The next step
Subject: Your offer shouldn’t need a decoder
You already know how good your service is.
The challenge is making a stranger understand that quickly.
If your website, content, or offer currently feels like it’s saying a lot without making the main value obvious, it may be time to simplify.
Not by making your business smaller.
By making the message clearer.

No complicated pitch.
Just a conversation about what’s working, what’s unclear, and what could be stronger.

Project description
Brief:
Create a 3 email nurture sequence for a fictional brand strategist whose prospects have shown interest but haven’t taken the next step.
Approach:
The sequence moves from identifying a messaging problem, to providing a useful insight, to presenting a low pressure next step. The copy focuses on clarity and relevance rather than aggressive selling.
Skills demonstrated:
Email copywriting, persuasive writing, audience awareness, nurture strategy, CTA writing.
Project note:
This is a speculative practice project created to demonstrate my email copywriting and strategic thinking. No client performance results are being claimed.
Great nurture sequence. Each email builds trust naturally and makes the next step feel easy.
