Copy built to be tested.

Three industries. Three kinds of email. Every one ships in two versions with one clear variable, so the data picks the winner.

Copy sample · A/B test

One offer. Two angles. Test both.

A cold email test for a tech company selling an all-in-one CRM. Same audience and same offer. Each version leads with a different pain point, so the data shows which problem buyers feel most.

One CRM for {{company}}?

Works with either version

Version A: The lead handoff gap

Subject: Leads slipping at {{company}}?

Hi {{first_name}},

When a lead fills out a form at {{company}}, how long until sales actually sees it?

For most mid-size teams the honest answer is “depends who checks the spreadsheet.” Marketing lives in one tool, sales in another and the handoff lowkey eats good leads.

Big Tech Comp puts marketing, sales and service in one CRM, so every new lead shows up with its full history and a clear owner.

Is tightening up lead handoff on your list this quarter?

Not your lane? Just say so.

Version B: Reporting chaos

Subject: Three tools, one report

Hi {{first_name}},

Pulling one clean pipeline report at {{company}} shouldn’t take three tools and a Friday afternoon.

For most growing teams it does. Contacts live in one place, deals in another and nobody fully trusts the numbers. Not the vibe.

Big Tech Comp keeps contacts, deals and campaigns in one CRM, so the report is already built and everyone works off the same numbers.

Is reporting a headache right now, or already sorted for you?

Not your lane? Just say so.

What changes

Only the pain point. Audience, offer, length and ask stay the same, so the result is clean.

What we measure

Open rate by subject line. Reply rate and positive replies by body.

What happens next

The winner becomes the control. The next round tests a new angle against it.

Copy sample · Ecommerce cart recovery

Bring the cart back. Without the guilt trip.

An abandoned cart email for a fashion brand. Variant A makes the item the hero. Variant B shows the shopper wearing it.

The setup

Audience: shoppers who left items in their cart.

Timing: first touch, 30 to 60 minutes after they leave.

Merge fields: {{first_name}}, {{cart_item}}, {{cart_image}}, {{cart_link}}, {{unsubscribe_link}}

Fallbacks: {{cart_item}} becomes “your picks” and {{first_name}} becomes “hey you” so a blank field never shows.

Subject lines

Your cart misses you 👀

Emoji option. A/B it against the next line.

{{first_name}}, {{cart_item}} is still here

Personalized option.

Not to be dramatic but your cart

Curiosity option.

All three point at the cart, which is what the body is about, so none of them oversell.

Variant A: Main character energy

Preview text: We saved {{cart_item}} for you. One tap and it's yours.

Copy sample · Hospitality promo

Sell the stay with one detail they remember.

A promo email for a boutique hotel, built to send. Two hero angles: A leads with the view, B leads with the food. Same hotel, same send. The hero angle is the only thing that changes.

Variant A: The view

Curtains open onto a balcony with a coffee on a small table, looking out at green hills, the city and the ocean

Hi {{first_name}},

Hideaway Stay {{city}} is for anyone ready to see more of the world in person. Your room is made to feel quiet and safe. Adventure is waiting just past the curtain.

We could send you every photo we have, and they still wouldn't come close. Some views are hard to picture until you're standing in front of them with your morning coffee. No filter needed.
