How Fly by Jing does food emails
1. The snack that sold out in 20 mins flat
Objective
This email aims to reignite excitement and drive immediate purchases for a limited-edition vegan jerky collaboration by highlighting its past sell-out success and emphasizing its crave-worthy flavor profile. It leverages urgency and sensory language to convert curiosity into action.
Why this works
The email brilliantly leverages social proof by leading with the fact that the product sold out in 20 minutes, instantly signaling high demand and creating FOMO that compels readers to act before it’s gone again.
How to implement
By describing the flavor experience with vivid, sensory-rich language, 'spice hugs sweet, crispy connects with chewy', the brand transforms a simple snack into an emotional, multisensory event that’s hard to ignore or delay.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer or stock indicator near the CTA to amplify urgency, since the 'sold out in 20 mins' claim loses impact without a real-time signal that this restock is also limited. • Include a short customer quote or review snippet under the flavor description to reinforce credibility, the sensory language is strong, but social validation would help hesitant buyers overcome skepticism about plant-based jerky.
2. Act Fast — the finishing oils are almost finished!
Objective
This email aims to drive urgency-driven purchases of Fly By Jing’s finishing oils by highlighting a limited-time 40% discount on the duo pack, while educating recipients on versatile culinary applications to justify the impulse buy.
Why this works
The email brilliantly pairs scarcity messaging with sensory-rich visuals, making the 40% discount feel urgent and irresistible while simultaneously teaching customers how to elevate everyday meals with just a drizzle.
How to implement
By showcasing three distinct food pairings, toast, ramen, and dumplings, the campaign transforms a simple condiment into a kitchen essential, subtly guiding buyers toward usage-based justification rather than price alone.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the primary CTA to amplify urgency, since 'almost finished' is abstract, a visible clock would make scarcity concrete and trigger faster decision-making. • Include a mini testimonial or user-generated photo next to one of the food examples to build social proof, especially since flavor perception is subjective and peer validation increases conversion confidence.
3. Final days of our Warehouse Sale 📦
Objective
This email aims to create urgency and drive immediate sales by alerting subscribers that the Warehouse Sale is ending soon, encouraging them to act before discounts disappear. It leverages bold visuals and a playful tone to reinforce brand identity while converting interest into purchases.
Why this works
The email uses high-energy, playful language like 'THIS IS NOT A DRILL' to inject personality and urgency without sounding pushy, making the sale feel exclusive and time-sensitive in a fun, brand-aligned way.
How to implement
Bold, contrasting colors and jagged graphic elements create visual excitement that matches the brand’s edgy, adventurous tone, helping the email stand out in a crowded inbox while reinforcing product energy.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer or 'X hours left' indicator near the CTA to amplify urgency visually and psychologically, making the 'last chance' message more tangible and compelling for hesitant shoppers. • Include a small product grid or 'bestsellers from the sale' section below the hero to showcase variety and social proof, helping undecided customers quickly identify popular items and reducing decision paralysis.
4. Did you catch Turning Red? 👀
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales of Fly By Jing’s limited-edition Turning Red collectible lunchbox while cross-promoting the Disney+ film to fans, leveraging pop culture relevance to create urgency and emotional connection with the audience.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties product launch to cultural momentum by anchoring the limited-edition lunchbox to the emotional and visual identity of Turning Red, making the spice set feel like a collectible experience rather than just a food item.
How to implement
By describing the lunchbox as a vessel for ‘secret concert ticket money stash’ or ‘lunch,’ the copy transforms a functional product into a playful, personality-driven accessory that resonates with Gen Z and millennial buyers who value self-expression.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the 'SHOP NOW' button to visually reinforce the limited-edition nature of the lunchbox and trigger urgency without relying solely on text. • Include a small testimonial or user-generated photo of someone using the lunchbox in real life, perhaps at a concert or picnic, to build social proof and show practical, aspirational use cases.
5. 🎉 ICYMI: It’s Prime Day
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales from Amazon Prime members by highlighting a limited-time 20% discount on best-selling 6oz jars during Prime Day, while emphasizing the added value of free shipping to incentivize urgency and conversion.
Why this works
The email brilliantly leverages Prime Day’s cultural momentum by positioning Fly By Jing’s products as exclusive, time-sensitive deals, turning a general shopping event into a targeted, high-conversion opportunity for loyal customers.
How to implement
By anchoring the offer around the psychological trigger of ‘under $10’ pricing for bestsellers, the campaign reduces perceived risk and creates a compelling value proposition that resonates with budget-conscious yet flavor-driven shoppers.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the CTA to visually reinforce urgency, since the offer is time-bound (Oct 10–11), which could increase click-through rates by creating real-time scarcity. • Include a short testimonial or social proof snippet near the product grid, such as ‘Loved by 10K+ chefs’, to build trust and reduce hesitation for first-time buyers unfamiliar with the brand.
6. 💝 The gift box with 5-star love notes
Objective
This email aims to drive Valentine’s Day gift purchases by positioning Fly By Jing’s gift box as a beloved, flavor-packed present that delivers emotional impact and culinary excitement. It leverages social proof and urgency to convert recipients into buyers before the holiday deadline.
Why this works
The email brilliantly frames the gift box as an emotional experience, not just a product, by using romantic language like 'love letter to flavor' and heart visuals, making it feel personal and irresistible for gifting occasions.
How to implement
By embedding real customer reviews directly under bold, benefit-driven headlines like 'Best Sichuan Sauce Ever' and 'Wow,' the campaign builds instant credibility and reduces purchase hesitation through authentic social proof.
Pro Tip
Add a visual countdown timer near the 'Pro Tip' section to amplify urgency, seeing the clock tick down would make the 2/6 deadline feel more immediate and increase conversion likelihood. • Include a small 'What’s Inside' visual grid or icon set under the 'Inside This Love Letter to Flavor' section to quickly communicate product variety without requiring users to read bullet points.
7. 🚨 Spoiler: people are obsessed with our advent calendar
Objective
To drive urgency and pre-orders for Fly By Jing’s limited-edition holiday advent calendar by highlighting its past sell-out success and social proof from enthusiastic customers. The email aims to convert curiosity into immediate action before the product sells out again.
Why this works
The email leverages FOMO brilliantly by opening with a bold, time-sensitive claim, 'SOLD OUT BY OCTOBER 15TH LAST YEAR', which instantly frames the product as exclusive and in high demand, compelling readers to act before it’s too late.
How to implement
Customer testimonials are strategically placed with vivid, emotional language and real-life use cases, like gifting to sons or siblings, which humanizes the product and builds trust by showing how it fits into meaningful holiday moments beyond just flavor.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the CTA to reinforce urgency, since the product sold out early last year, showing how many days remain until the expected sell-out date would amplify the FOMO and nudge hesitant buyers to act now. • Include a small visual grid or icon strip of the 12 included sauces near the hero section to give a quick preview of variety, this would reduce cognitive load and help customers visualize the value before diving into testimonials.
8. Breakfast to dinner
Objective
This email aims to inspire subscribers to cook with Fly by Jing’s Sichuan Chili Crisp by showcasing versatile meal ideas from breakfast to dinner, while subtly encouraging product adoption and club membership through recipe-driven engagement.
Why this works
The email brilliantly bridges product utility with lifestyle by offering curated meal ideas across dayparts, making the chili crisp feel indispensable rather than just another condiment in the pantry.
How to implement
By pairing each recipe with vivid food photography and a clear CTA, the campaign transforms passive readers into active experimenters, subtly guiding them from inspiration to action without aggressive sales pressure.
Pro Tip
Add a small countdown timer or limited-time badge near the 'Join $25/Year' CTA to create urgency and elevate the perceived value of the Tastemaker Club membership. • Include a short customer testimonial or social proof snippet under one of the recipes to reinforce trust and show real people enjoying the product in their own kitchens.
9. 👩🍳 A note from our founder this International Women's Day
Objective
This email aims to celebrate International Women’s Day by sharing the founder’s personal story and cultural mission, while driving engagement through event attendance and product sales. It positions Fly by Jing as a brand built on authentic heritage and female empowerment.
Why this works
The email powerfully ties the brand’s origin story to a cultural celebration, making the founder’s journey feel personal and mission-driven rather than promotional, which builds emotional resonance with the audience.
How to implement
By highlighting both the founder’s background and her upcoming public event, the campaign creates dual value, inviting customers to participate in her story either physically or through product purchase, deepening brand loyalty.
Pro Tip
Add a secondary CTA above the event details, such as 'Shop the Sauces That Tell My Story', to capture interest from those who can’t attend the event but want to engage with the brand’s narrative immediately. • Include a short video or audio clip thumbnail of Jing speaking about her journey, embedded near the hero image, to humanize the message further and increase time-on-email for deeper emotional connection.
10. 🧧 Your guide to Lunar New Year traditions
Objective
This email aims to educate subscribers on Lunar New Year traditions while subtly positioning Fly by Jing’s bold Sichuan flavors as the perfect complement to festive celebrations, encouraging product exploration and purchase through culturally resonant storytelling.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties cultural tradition to product relevance by framing Sichuan heat as essential to celebration, not just flavor, making the brand feel indispensable to the holiday ritual rather than merely promotional.
How to implement
By structuring content as an educational guide first and a product pitch second, the campaign builds trust and authority, allowing the audience to absorb value before being asked to act, which increases conversion likelihood without feeling pushy.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or limited-edition badge near the 'Year of the Snake Box' to create urgency, since the product is tied to a specific lunar year and could benefit from scarcity messaging to drive immediate action. • Include a short customer testimonial or social proof beneath the product grid (e.g., 'Loved by 10K+ Lunar New Year hosts') to reinforce trust and reduce hesitation for first-time buyers unfamiliar with the brand’s flavor profile.
