The complete 1906 brand history email collection
1. Feeling the winter blues? There’s a better way through
Objective
This email aims to help subscribers combat seasonal mood dips by introducing 1906’s targeted wellness drops, positioning them as intentional, fast-acting solutions to restore emotional balance and energy during winter. It guides users toward product-specific purchases while reinforcing brand trust through empathetic messaging.
Why this works
The email opens with an emotionally resonant hook that names the universal winter struggle, shorter days, lower energy, and immediately positions the brand as a compassionate guide offering intentional, science-backed relief rather than just another supplement.
How to implement
Each product is framed not by its ingredients but by the specific emotional or physical state it resolves, such as ‘eases stress without dulling your spark’ or ‘supports connection when you’re craving warmth,’ making benefits instantly relatable and psychologically compelling.
Pro Tip
Add a brief testimonial or user quote beneath the hero section to validate the ‘feeling more like yourself’ promise, social proof would strengthen credibility before users scroll into product details. • Include a subtle urgency element (e.g., ‘Winter Wellness Kits selling fast’) near the ‘SHOP ALL’ section to nudge hesitant buyers without compromising the calm, intentional tone of the campaign.
2. Introducing CBG: Now in Chill and Genius
Objective
To announce the addition of CBG to two existing product lines, Genius and Chill, and persuade subscribers to explore or purchase these upgraded formulas by highlighting enhanced cognitive benefits without compromising their original effects.
Why this works
The email brilliantly positions CBG as an enhancement rather than a replacement, reassuring loyal users that their favorite products haven’t changed, just evolved with smarter science to deliver clearer focus and calmer relaxation without side effects.
How to implement
By using vivid metaphors like 'thinking in HD' and 'cognitive filter,' the campaign transforms a complex cannabinoid into an intuitive, desirable benefit that resonates emotionally with users seeking mental clarity and composure in daily life.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or limited-edition badge near the CTA to create urgency around trying the new CBG-infused formulas, leveraging FOMO without disrupting the clean, educational tone of the email. • Include a short testimonial or user quote beneath each product description to reinforce social proof, especially since the email relies heavily on scientific claims that could be strengthened by real-user validation.
3. You can travel and stay sober
Objective
The email aims to encourage users to embrace sober living during Dry January while still enjoying ski season by promoting 1906’s 'Off Duty' product as a convenient, fast-acting alternative to alcohol. It positions the brand as a lifestyle enabler for active, mindful consumers.
Why this works
The email brilliantly reframes sobriety not as sacrifice but as empowerment, tying Dry January to the thrill of skiing, making the product feel like a liberating tool rather than a compromise, which resonates deeply with adventure-seeking audiences.
How to implement
By showcasing the product in a real-world, high-energy context, on a ski lift, the campaign visually reinforces portability and lifestyle integration, subtly communicating that 'Off Duty' belongs wherever fun happens, even in extreme environments like snowy mountains.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or urgency cue near the CTA to nudge immediate action, since the campaign targets time-sensitive behavior (Dry January) and could benefit from psychological scarcity to boost conversion. • Include a micro-testimonial or user quote near the product description, e.g., 'I skied all day and still felt sharp', to build social proof and reduce perceived risk for first-time buyers unfamiliar with microdosing.
4. get a FREE Chill tin on orders $200+
Objective
This email aims to drive higher order values by incentivizing customers to spend $200 or more with a free 'Chill' tin, while also promoting the full lineup of 1906 products through a bundled discount and emotional benefit messaging.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties a high-ticket incentive, a free 'Chill' tin, to a clear spending threshold, making the reward feel exclusive and worth chasing while subtly encouraging customers to explore the full product range to hit the target.
How to implement
By positioning the 'Chill' product as a solution for stress relief without compromising focus, the copy speaks directly to modern consumers’ desire for functional wellness, turning a promotional offer into an emotionally resonant lifestyle upgrade.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer or 'X left at this price' indicator near the 'SAVE $40' CTA to create urgency and reduce hesitation around the bundle purchase. • Include a short testimonial or user quote under the 'Chill' product description to reinforce social proof and validate the claim that it helps reduce stress without dulling focus.
5. Maybe we should be California Sober forever?
Objective
The email aims to reframe cannabis as a healthier alternative to alcohol by leveraging cultural commentary and a Surgeon General reference, encouraging recipients to try 1906’s products through a compelling discount and curated bundle offer.
Why this works
The email brilliantly uses cultural commentary, referencing the Surgeon General’s stance on alcohol, to position cannabis not as a vice, but as a conscious, modern lifestyle upgrade that feels both rebellious and responsible.
How to implement
By packaging products into a ‘California Sober Bundle,’ the campaign taps into trending wellness narratives while simplifying the decision-making process for new users, reducing friction and increasing perceived value through curated curation.
Pro Tip
Add a micro-testimonial or star rating directly under the ‘California Sober Bundle’ to reinforce social proof at the moment of decision, since the ‘Highly Rated!’ badge is visually disconnected from the product imagery. • Include a brief, one-line explanation of what ‘California Sober’ means for newcomers, even if it’s trendy, not all recipients will understand the term, which could dilute the message’s persuasive power.
6. Don’t fall victim to Quitters Day ❌
Objective
The email aims to re-engage users who may be struggling with New Year’s resolutions by positioning 1906’s products as smart, low-effort solutions to common January setbacks, turning failure into opportunity with humor and product-driven motivation.
Why this works
The email brilliantly reframes 'Quitter’s Day' as a cultural moment ripe for intervention, using humor and relatable pain points to position 1906 not as a supplement, but as a clever life hack that helps users stay on track without sacrifice.
How to implement
Each product is mapped to a specific resolution failure, drinking less, gym motivation, reading goals, dating, making the offering feel hyper-personalized and contextually relevant, which dramatically increases perceived value without needing discounts or urgency tactics.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or progress bar near the hero section to visually reinforce the urgency of 'Quitter’s Day' and create a psychological nudge toward immediate action without disrupting the tone. • Include a micro-testimonial or user stat (e.g., '87% of users felt more motivated within 20 mins') next to each product to strengthen social proof and reduce perceived risk for first-time buyers.
7. Today only: Everything is 30% off.
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales by creating urgency around a limited-time 30% off flash sale across all products, encouraging subscribers to stock up before the offer expires tonight.
Why this works
The email brilliantly leverages time-sensitive urgency with a bold 'FLASH SALE! ENDS TONIGHT!' headline paired with a 12-hour countdown, compelling readers to act now rather than delay their purchase decision.
How to implement
Each product is emotionally framed with benefit-driven micro-copy like 'Love for connection' and 'Chill for unwinding,' transforming functional items into experiential solutions that resonate with users’ daily emotional needs.
Pro Tip
Add a visual countdown timer near the top of the email to reinforce urgency beyond text, making the time constraint more visceral and harder to ignore as users scroll. • Include a brief customer testimonial or social proof under the hero section to build trust and validate the value of the 30% discount, especially since it’s applied sitewide and may raise skepticism.
8. 24% off for 24 hours ❤️
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales by promoting a limited-time 20% off flash sale across all products, leveraging urgency and emotional benefits tied to each product line to encourage quick checkout.
Why this works
The campaign brilliantly ties each product to an emotional outcome, love, sleep, bliss, making the supplements feel like essential experiences rather than mere items, which elevates perceived value and justifies the urgency of the sale.
How to implement
Using a bold, time-sensitive headline with a clear discount percentage and visual cues like 'ONE DAY ONLY' creates immediate FOMO, while the consistent color-coded CTAs per product help guide users to act without decision fatigue.
Pro Tip
Add a visible countdown timer in the hero section to reinforce urgency beyond just text, which can increase conversion rates by making the time limit feel more tangible and immediate to the reader. • Include a small testimonial or social proof snippet under each product section to validate claims, for example, '92% of users report deeper connection within 1 week', to reduce skepticism and build trust before the CTA.
9. LIMITED: Any Tin for $24
Objective
This email aims to drive first-time subscriptions by offering a time-sensitive 40% discount, leveraging Valentine’s Day sentiment to encourage immediate purchase of any product tin. It positions the brand as both romantic and accessible through playful, benefit-driven messaging.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties a promotional discount to an emotional occasion, Valentine’s Day, making the offer feel personal and timely rather than purely transactional, which increases conversion potential through emotional resonance.
How to implement
By visually anchoring the discount to a specific product (Love Drops) and showing the price drop from $40 to $24, the email creates instant perceived value and reduces buyer hesitation through transparent, tangible savings.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the CTA to reinforce urgency, since the Valentine’s Day tie-in implies a limited window, this would increase FOMO and drive faster conversions without altering the core message. • Include a small testimonial or social proof snippet under the product image (e.g., 'Loved by 10K+ customers') to build trust and reduce friction for first-time buyers who may be unfamiliar with the brand.
10. Order by tomorrow and you’re set for February 14.
Objective
This email aims to drive Valentine’s Day orders by emphasizing timely delivery and emotional alignment with the recipient’s desired experience, while incentivizing larger purchases with a free product offer.
Why this works
The email brilliantly reframes Valentine’s Day not as a gift-giving obligation but as a personalized emotional experience, aligning product benefits with how the recipient wants to feel, intimate, joyful, or calm, making the offer deeply resonant and emotionally driven.
How to implement
By offering a free tin of Boost on orders over $200, the campaign creates a compelling threshold that encourages higher average order value while positioning the bonus as a flexible enhancer of any experience, not just a transactional add-on.
Pro Tip
Add a visual countdown timer near the 'Order by tomorrow' message to heighten urgency and reduce cognitive load, users should instantly grasp how much time remains without scanning dates. • Include a short testimonial or social proof near the product grid (e.g., '92% of couples say 1906 helped them feel more connected') to reinforce emotional claims with real-user validation and reduce perceived risk.
