Abandoned cart email prompt

A copy-and-paste prompt for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini that gets a professional abandoned cart email on the first try, plus the cheapest model that does it well.

What most people type

Can you write an abandoned cart email for my candle shop? We offer free shipping over $50. Please make it cute but not annoying

It works, but the AI has to guess your shop name, cart items placeholder and checkout link, so the first answer usually needs another round. The version below asks for exactly what a professional would deliver.

The better prompt

Write an abandoned cart email for my candle shop, [shop name]. Tone: cute and playful but not annoying, with no guilt-tripping or pushy urgency.

Facts to use:
- We offer free shipping over $50.
- Cart contents are inserted automatically: [cart items placeholder].
- Cart link: [checkout link].
- Customer first name: [first name].
- Optional extra: [discount or incentive, only if I want one].

Include:
- 3 subject line options, each with preview text.
- A short body that fits an abandoned cart reminder. Mention the free shipping threshold naturally, and don't invent a discount, deadline or stock claim.
- One clear call to action: return to the cart.
- A short sign-off from [sender name].

Give the email as ready-to-paste text. Then add one line saying which subject line you'd test first.

Replace the [brackets] with your details before you send it: shop name, cart items placeholder, checkout link, first name, discount or incentive, only if I want one, sender name.
