Interne communicatiestromen: de rol van e-mailmarketing en andere kanalen
    Have you ever found yourself in a creative slump or in need of fresh inspiration for your email marketing? Then you've probably experimented with AI before. And you know that the quality of your output depends on the quality of the content you input.

    In this article, we share 50 example prompts for email marketers that you can use for your campaigns and provide tips on how to structure your prompt with relevant information.

    From crafting subject lines to creating irresistible content, we've got you covered. So grab your favorite drink, sit back, and get ready to revolutionize your email marketing with the power of AI.

    Crafting your prompt

    The key to getting useful output is integrating relevant information into your question. Each "prompt" should therefore contain specific details and instructions tailored to your desired scenario or goal. Imagine outsourcing this project to a freelancer. What kind of briefing would you give that person about your company and this project?

    Below, we provide you with a list of topics to integrate into your question:

    1. Clear objective
      State exactly what you want to achieve with your email content. Think about boosting sales, gathering feedback, informing, launching a product, promoting an event, etc.
    2. The target audience
      Describe the target audience you have in mind. Consider demographics, interests, characteristics, behavior, or stage in the decision-making process.
    3. Key message or theme
      Provide a brief summary of the main message of your campaign or what your content should precisely reflect.
    4. Call to action
      Describe what your recipients should do after reading your email. Is it to purchase a product, sign up for an event, share feedback, etc.
    5. Relevant details
      Include other important information, such as the sector in which you operate, benefits, key features, event information, promotional discounts, or specific instructions that are important within your company.
    6. Brand guidelines
      Add information about the desired tone and any style guidelines. This ensures that the message is consistent with other communications.
    7. Optional inspiration or examples
      Do you already have certain topics or ideas ready? Include those as well to expand upon.
    The better your briefing (and thus prompt), the better the output will be.

We aim to come across as original, humorous, and friendly.

    While AI-driven prompts can be incredibly valuable tools in your email marketing arsenal, they are most effective when used in combination with human creativity and strategic thinking.
