5 Things Every Promo Email MUST Have (If You Want Sales!)**

If your promo emails are getting meh opens or zero clicks, this quick-hit episode is your wake-up call. After reviewing dozens of client emails inside Nail Your Email Marketing and in my 1:1 sessions, I’ve seen the same mistakes again and again… especially during sales season.

So today, I’m walking you through the 5 non-negotiables every promo email should include to actually get opened, read and clicked.

This is your micro-masterclass in writing emails that convert, not collect dust in the inbox.

In this episode, we cover:

1. Why your subject line needs to slap, not snooze

Boring subject lines get ignored. You need curiosity, clarity, or straight-up benefits. I share what makes a subject line irresistible and why A/B testing should be your new best friend.

2. The must-have CTA above the fold

If your audience has to scroll to find the link, you’ve already lost them. I break down what “above the fold” actually looks like and why clarity always wins.

3. High-contrast design that people can actually read

Pastel on pastel? Tiny fonts? Hard pass. I share my go-to readability tool and the simple graphic design rule that will instantly improve your emails.

4. Clear, non-waffly copy that respects your customer’s time

Promo emails should be quick, direct and obvious. No filler paragraphs, no “hope this finds you well.” Tell them the offer, why it matters and why they should care right now.

5. One email, one goal

If you give people too many choices, they choose nothing. I walk through why your promos need ONE job and exactly how to structure them.

+ Bonus tip

A little movement goes a long way — think GIFs, scrolling marquees, or icon-style features that communicate essential info fast.
