💡 Pro Tips
Best model for this prompt
ChatGPT
ChatGPT (GPT-4o / GPT-5)
Pre-launch waitlist converts at 3-5× your general list — highest-leverage email you'll send
Launch email at 7-8am in your audience's timezone — not 9am when they're already in meetings
Abandoned cart sequence recovers 5-15% of lost revenue — set it up before launch day
Day 2 '47 people bought in first 12 hours' dramatically increases urgency for those who didn't buy day 1
No pre-launch sequence — cold launching produces 50% lower conversion
No waitlist — 'first access' framing creates urgency and builds your list
Abandoned cart with no objection handling — generic 'you left something' converts poorly
Sending all 3 launch-day emails regardless of sales velocity — adjust messaging based on what's happening
- How many pre-launch emails?3-5 over 2 weeks. Too many exhaust the list before launch day.
- Launch discount or launch bonus?Discount trains customers to wait for sales. Bonus (free shipping, gift) creates urgency without reducing the price.
- How long should the launch offer run?7 days maximum with a clear defined end. Unlimited availability kills urgency.
- Best model?ChatGPT for punchy energetic launch copy. Claude for higher price points where trust-building matters more.
