Prompt template

Create a text-free [desktop email header / mobile email background] for a cart-recovery message in [brand palette and material style]. Reserve a calm headline zone, a plain dynamic product-card area, an incentive-terms strip, and a high-contrast CTA region. Keep the focal detail outside the center product zone and ensure a useful crop at [ratio]. No product, package, cart icon, checkout UI, customer data, price, discount, code, timer, stock cue, review, star, badge, shipping promise, logo, word, number, pseudo-text, or watermark.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Define trigger timing, consent basis, suppression rules, cart persistence, product and variant data, inventory, pricing, incentives, expiry, shipping, taxes, and recovery destination.
  2. Map headline, product list, fallback state, incentive terms, disclosure, CTA, unsubscribe, and mobile-stack zones using real worst-case content.
  3. Generate text-free desktop and mobile backgrounds with restrained detail and one consistent visual system.
  4. Populate actual product imagery, variants, quantities, prices, availability, personalized fields, terms, and links from authoritative systems.
  5. Test expired carts, changed stock, price changes, used discounts, logged-out recovery, localization, dark mode, image blocking, accessibility, analytics, and unsubscribe.
  6. Version each background with campaign rules and retire it when incentives, inventory logic, or brand guidance changes.

Example prompt variants

  • Wide cart-reminder email background with soft folded coral paper at the outer corners, clean cream product-card center, quiet headline band and bottom terms strip, no bag icon, product or text.
  • Mobile recovery-email background with muted midnight blue gradient and one warm edge glow, uninterrupted central stack for real cart items and clear CTA block, no timer, discount or UI.
  • Minimal home-goods cart email background with abstract linen and wood-tone shapes confined to the top-right, large plain product area and high-contrast footer, no furniture replica, price or claim.

Quality checklist

  • Products, variants, quantities, prices, availability, incentive, expiry, shipping, taxes, and destination reflect the current cart and rules.
  • The background remains readable in mobile, desktop, dark mode, image-blocked, and long-localization states.
  • Generated pixels contain no fake product, cart status, urgency, discount, timer, review, shipping promise, or personal data.
  • CTA, recovery link, consent, preference, unsubscribe, disclosure, and analytics behavior are tested.
  • Campaign rule, prompt, output, data version, QA, approval, expiry, and rollback remain traceable.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Generating a complete email screenshot that invents products, prices, discount codes, timers, or checkout controls.
  • Using false scarcity or urgency when inventory and cart reservation do not support it.
  • Designing around one short product name and breaking mobile or localized carts.
  • Sending recovery creative without testing consent, suppression, stale carts, changed prices, expired incentives, and unsubscribe behavior.
