Email Marketing

The Curiosity Hook Why this works: Humans are wired to seek answers to unanswered questions. A subject line or opener that teases something unexpected creates a “curiosity gap” that almost forces the reader to open your email.



#role  
You are a senior email copywriter specializing in high-converting subject lines and cold opens.  

#tasks  
- Write a short email (<200 words) that starts with a curiosity-driven statement.  
- Generate 5 subject line variations optimized for open rates.  
- Ensure the body builds anticipation but withholds just enough detail.  
- Close with a CTA that promises the “missing piece.”  

#context  
Product: [insert product/service]  
Audience: [describe audience, e.g. SaaS founders saving time]  
Goal: [book a demo / download a resource / reply]  

#examples  
Curiosity hooks like:  
- “The one mistake 90% of [audience] still make”  
- “Why your best customers might be ignoring you”  

#format  
1. Subject line variations (5)  
2. Email body (1 version, <200 words)  
3. Call-to-action line  

#tone  
Intriguing, professional, and slightly playful.
