“Order Update” Email Hook from Survival Life & Absolute Rights (Ryan Deiss)

Key Takeaways

  • The subject lines in these emails are designed to make you do a double-take by using wording like "order update" and "on hold" - both of these tend to make you think that you actually placed an order & the item is on hold.  It's a little sneaky, but it works.
  • Every tripwire email I've seen from these companies includes a photo of the product. Since the focus is the product, I'd assume including a good product photo is often more effective than just selling with urgency, scarcity & worded descriptions.
  • "It's almost gone", "you need to hurry" & "it's on hold" are all examples of wording you often find in these "tripwire" emails to encourage fast action.
  • Like all of Ryan's brands do, personalize your sign-off message to fit your personality & audience. Focus on making it more meaningful & unique than your typical "Sincerely" or "Best" sign-off.
