The complete Function of Beauty personal care email collection
1. 30% OFF 🤩 PRIME DAY DEAL
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales by leveraging Amazon Prime Day urgency, offering 30% off all Function of Beauty products for a limited 12-hour window to encourage quick purchase decisions from beauty-conscious shoppers.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties a time-sensitive discount to a major retail event (Prime Day), creating FOMO while positioning the brand as part of a larger cultural shopping moment that customers already trust and anticipate.
How to implement
By showcasing a colorful, diverse product grid with clearly labeled hair types and vibrant caps, the email visually communicates personalization and variety without needing extra text, making the custom nature of the brand instantly understandable at a glance.
Pro Tip
Add a small countdown timer beneath the CTA to visually reinforce the 12-hour urgency, which would increase perceived scarcity and nudge hesitant shoppers toward immediate action without adding clutter. • Include a micro-testimonial or social proof badge near the product grid, such as 'Over 500K customers love their custom routines', to build trust and reduce friction for first-time buyers unfamiliar with the brand’s personalization model.
2. The proof is in the protein 🧬
Objective
This email aims to educate subscribers on the importance of protein for healthy hair while guiding them toward customizing their own hair care formula. It positions Function of Beauty as a science-backed, personalized solution for achieving stronger, more resilient hair.
Why this works
By framing protein as the foundational building block of hair health, the email transforms a scientific concept into an emotionally resonant reason to act, making customization feel essential rather than optional.
How to implement
The visual metaphor of ‘Protein Power’ as a ‘protein shake for your hair’ cleverly bridges nutrition and beauty, helping customers intuitively grasp the value of key ingredients without overwhelming them with jargon.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or urgency cue near the CTA to nudge procrastinators, since the email’s educational tone may slow decision-making, a time-sensitive element could boost conversion without compromising trust. • Include a short customer testimonial or result stat (e.g., ‘92% saw stronger strands in 4 weeks’) under the hero section to reinforce credibility and bridge the gap between education and action.
3. Back-to-school essential: Custom Styling Primer
Objective
This email aims to drive sales of Function of Beauty’s Custom Styling Primer by positioning it as a back-to-school essential while incentivizing customers to bundle it with other custom hair products through a limited-time free offer.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties a seasonal transition, back to school, to a personal care ritual, making the product feel timely and emotionally relevant rather than just another beauty item on the shelf.
How to implement
By offering the styling primer for free with a qualifying purchase, the campaign leverages perceived value and bundling psychology to increase average order value without discounting core products.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the CTA to emphasize urgency, since the offer is time-limited, this would visually reinforce scarcity and encourage immediate action without relying solely on fine print. • Include a short testimonial or user quote near the 'Proven Results' section to humanize the stats and connect emotionally with readers who may respond better to peer validation than percentages alone.
4. Ditch the drugstore + go custom
Objective
The email aims to persuade subscribers to abandon generic drugstore haircare by highlighting the superior, personalized benefits of Function of Beauty’s custom formulas, while leveraging social proof to reduce perceived risk and encourage immediate action.
Why this works
The email smartly contrasts conventional drugstore products with Function of Beauty’s custom formulas using visual side-by-side labeling, like 'Parabens' vs. 'Naturally-Derived Ingredients', making the value proposition instantly digestible and emotionally compelling.
How to implement
By featuring a testimonial section titled 'They ♥ The Switch To Custom,' the campaign taps into social proof without needing lengthy quotes, subtly reassuring prospects that others have made the leap successfully and with zero regrets.
Pro Tip
Add a micro-copy line under the CTA button like 'Join 500,000+ custom haircare lovers' to reinforce social proof and urgency without cluttering the layout, increasing perceived legitimacy and reducing hesitation. • Include a subtle visual cue, such as a small animated arrow or glow, pointing to the CTA button to guide the eye after reading the comparison, improving click-through by reducing decision fatigue.
5. Give your back-to-school look a BOOST 💁♀️
Objective
This email aims to drive back-to-school haircare sales by promoting a customizable hair mask and a limited-time 'Buy 3, Get 1 Free' offer, encouraging customers to build a personalized routine while creating urgency around the seasonal transition.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties seasonal change to a specific hair concern, dry, brittle strands, and positions the product as a superhero solution, making the emotional and functional benefit instantly relatable to back-to-school shoppers.
How to implement
By letting customers select up to five hair goals before building their mask, the brand transforms a simple purchase into a personalized experience, increasing perceived value and reducing decision fatigue through guided customization.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the offer section to visually reinforce the urgency of the 8/24 deadline, which currently only appears in fine print and may be overlooked by distracted readers. • Include a short testimonial or user-generated photo near the product grid to build social proof around the 'Buy 3, Get 1 Free' bundle, helping hesitant shoppers visualize real results and reducing perceived risk.
6. Hey you, want 20% off? 💫
Objective
This email aims to convert new customers by offering a 20% discount on their first large shampoo and conditioner set while incentivizing subscription through added perks like free shipping and exclusive product access. It positions the brand as personalized and customer-centric to build long-term loyalty.
Why this works
The email brilliantly frames the discount not just as a price cut but as a gateway to a personalized, VIP-like experience, making the customer feel they’re gaining status, not just savings, which elevates perceived value and emotional engagement.
How to implement
By visually contrasting member vs. non-member perks in a clean grid, the email turns abstract benefits into tangible, scannable differentiators that reduce cognitive load and make the subscription decision feel logical and rewarding rather than transactional.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the CTA to create urgency around the 20% discount, especially since the offer is for first-time buyers, this could reduce hesitation and nudge immediate action without altering the core message. • Include a single customer testimonial or star rating near the offer section to build social proof; since the product is custom-formulated, real user validation would help overcome skepticism about personalization effectiveness.
7. Best Sellers: You asked, we answered
Objective
This email aims to introduce and demystify Function of Beauty’s Best Sellers line by answering common customer questions, positioning them as a convenient alternative to custom formulas while encouraging immediate exploration and purchase. It seeks to reduce friction for hesitant shoppers by clarifying subscription options and product differences.
Why this works
The email brilliantly uses a FAQ format to preemptively answer customer objections, turning potential confusion into confidence by clearly differentiating Best Sellers from custom formulas while still honoring the brand’s personalization legacy.
How to implement
By framing the Best Sellers as a 'new way to do custom in a flash,' the campaign leverages existing brand equity to position convenience as an upgrade, not a compromise, making it easier for time-pressed customers to say yes without feeling like they’re settling.
Pro Tip
Add a visual comparison table or side-by-side icons between Best Sellers and Custom Formulas in the Education Section to reinforce the FAQ answers with scannable, at-a-glance differentiation, reducing cognitive load for skimmers. • Include a micro-testimonial or social proof snippet near the CTA (e.g., '92% of customers who tried Best Sellers reordered within 30 days') to boost conversion by validating the product’s popularity and performance beyond the FAQ.
8. We’d love your feedback—$5 for your time!
Objective
This email aims to collect customer feedback through a short survey by incentivizing participation with a $5 e-gift card, while reinforcing brand loyalty and appreciation for the customer’s role in shaping the brand’s future.
Why this works
The email brilliantly pairs emotional appeal with tangible reward, by framing feedback as a valued contribution to brand improvement, it transforms a simple survey into a meaningful customer experience that feels personal and impactful.
How to implement
Offering a $5 e-gift card as immediate compensation for just a few minutes of time creates irresistible perceived value, making the CTA feel less like a request and more like a mutually beneficial exchange that customers are eager to accept.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or urgency cue near the CTA (e.g., 'Offer expires in 48 hours') to reduce survey abandonment and nudge procrastinators toward immediate action without compromising the friendly tone. • Include a brief preview of one or two survey questions below the CTA to reduce perceived effort and increase transparency, this reassures recipients the survey is truly quick and relevant, boosting completion rates.
9. Fall into (pear)fection 🍐🍂
Objective
This email aims to drive engagement and conversions by introducing Function of Beauty’s limited-edition pear-scented fall collection, positioning it as a seasonal alternative to pumpkin spice while highlighting customization and customer satisfaction.
Why this works
The email brilliantly frames the pear scent as a sophisticated autumn alternative to pumpkin spice, tapping into seasonal nostalgia while differentiating the brand from overused fall tropes to attract discerning customers seeking novelty.
How to implement
By showcasing real customer testimonials that emphasize scent longevity and customization joy, the campaign builds social proof and emotional resonance, making the product feel personal and irresistible rather than just another seasonal offering.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer near the CTA to emphasize the limited-time nature of the fall scent, leveraging urgency to convert hesitant subscribers who may otherwise delay their decision. • Include a small visual cue or icon next to the 'Customize Yours' button that hints at personalization options (e.g., color wheel or scent drop), reducing cognitive load and reinforcing the brand’s core value proposition.
10. Open this to win $100!
Objective
The email aims to drive customer engagement by encouraging recipients to complete a survey in exchange for a chance to win a $100 gift card, reinforcing the brand’s customer-centric values while gathering valuable feedback.
Why this works
The email opens with a personalized greeting and immediately ties the survey to a tangible reward, making participation feel like a mutually beneficial exchange rather than a chore, which boosts conversion likelihood.
How to implement
By featuring a visual of the $100 gift card upfront, the campaign leverages visual reinforcement to anchor the perceived value of the offer, creating instant emotional appeal and reducing cognitive friction.
Pro Tip
Add a brief bullet-point list under the CTA highlighting what the survey covers (e.g., '3-min survey on your hair care routine') to reduce perceived effort and increase completion rates. • Include a small testimonial or stat like '92% of past winners loved their gift cards!' near the offer to build social proof and reinforce the reward’s desirability before the CTA.
