How mental health brands do product highlight emails
1. Hers: Thicker, fuller hair for all ages
Objective
This email aims to drive users to take a personalized hair quiz to identify their hair thinning concerns and guide them toward a tailored treatment plan, positioning Hers as a trusted, accessible healthcare solution for hair health across all ages.
Why this works
The email opens with an empathetic, inclusive message that normalizes hair thinning across ages, immediately reducing stigma and building trust by positioning the brand as a compassionate, science-backed guide rather than a sales-driven solution.
How to implement
By embedding a mobile-friendly quiz preview and clearly outlining the three-step journey, quiz, provider consultation, free delivery, the email reduces friction and sets clear expectations, making the path to treatment feel simple, safe, and personalized.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or urgency cue near the CTA to encourage immediate quiz completion, especially since the offer implies a personalized, time-sensitive health consultation rather than a generic product sale. • Include a short testimonial or stat (e.g., '90% of users find their ideal treatment in under 5 minutes') in the education section to reinforce credibility and reduce perceived risk before users commit to the quiz.
2. Calm : Featured Music from Calm
Objective
This email aims to re-engage users by reminding them to maintain their mindfulness habits through curated music, encouraging immediate app usage with a gentle, supportive tone that reinforces Calm’s role as a personal wellness partner.
Why this works
The email opens with a warm, conversational question, 'Do you have a few minutes?', that lowers the barrier to engagement by framing the experience as a brief, guilt-free pause rather than a commitment, which is psychologically smart for busy users.
How to implement
Each music tile pairs evocative imagery with artist and title, creating an emotional preview that invites curiosity and taps into sensory memory, making the content feel personal and immersive even before the user clicks.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle progress indicator or habit streak counter near the CTA to visually reinforce the user’s existing momentum, making the 'Don’t let your progress fade away' message more tangible and motivating. • Include a short testimonial or user stat (e.g., '87% of users feel calmer after 10 minutes') beneath the hero text to strengthen social proof and validate the emotional promise before the user scrolls to content.
3. Calm : Feb 4, 2026: featured and trending sessions
Objective
This email aims to re-engage users by reminding them of their wellness journey and encouraging daily practice through curated, trending content. It subtly reinforces habit formation while showcasing new and popular sessions to drive immediate app usage.
Why this works
The email opens with an emotionally resonant question, 'Do you have a few minutes?', that gently interrupts the user’s day without pressure, making it feel like a personal check-in rather than a sales pitch.
How to implement
By curating both trending sessions and daily micro-practices, the email balances novelty with consistency, helping users feel supported in building sustainable habits while discovering fresh content tailored to their evolving needs.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle visual indicator, such as a small badge or progress bar, next to 'Today’s Dailies' to show users how many they’ve completed this week, reinforcing habit streaks and encouraging continuity. • Reposition the 'Explore by Category' buttons higher in the email, perhaps beneath 'Today’s Dailies,' to reduce scrolling friction and make content discovery more intuitive for users seeking specific modalities like Sleep or Meditation.
4. Calm : Featured Music from Calm
Objective
The email aims to re-engage users by reminding them of their progress and encouraging them to return to the Calm app for mindful moments through curated music. It seeks to reinforce habit formation and deepen emotional connection with the brand.
Why this works
The email opens with a gentle, time-sensitive question, 'Do you have a few minutes?', which lowers the barrier to engagement by framing the experience as brief and accessible, not demanding.
How to implement
Each music track is paired with evocative imagery and artist names, transforming a simple playlist into an emotional journey that invites users to reconnect with their personal moments of calm through storytelling visuals.
Pro Tip
Add a micro-copy line beneath the CTA button like 'Your favorite sleep track is waiting' to personalize the prompt and increase urgency by hinting at user-specific content. • Include a small progress indicator or milestone badge (e.g., 'You’ve meditated 12 days this month') in the hero section to visually reinforce habit continuity and motivate return.
5. Calm : Jan 6, 2026: featured and trending sessions
Objective
This email aims to re-engage users by reminding them to maintain their mindfulness habits through curated, timely content that aligns with their personal growth journey, while subtly reinforcing Calm’s value as a daily companion for mental well-being.
Why this works
The email opens with a gentle, time-sensitive question, 'Do you have a few minutes?', that lowers the barrier to engagement by framing meditation as a micro-commitment, not a chore, which is psychologically smart for busy users.
How to implement
By organizing content into clearly labeled sections like 'Popular on Calm' and 'Today’s Dailies,' the email creates a sense of editorial curation and daily rhythm, making users feel like they’re returning to a trusted, evolving resource rather than just a static app.
Pro Tip
Add a visual or text-based progress indicator near the top (e.g., 'You’ve meditated 3x this week, keep going!') to personalize the re-engagement message and leverage behavioral momentum, making the 'Don’t let your progress fade away!' line more impactful. • Reposition the 'Popular on Calm' CTA to be a button with higher contrast and placement directly under the hero text, currently it’s a hyperlink that blends in, reducing its effectiveness as the primary action driver for returning users.
6. Calm : Featured Music from Calm
Objective
This email aims to re-engage users by reminding them to maintain their mindfulness habits through curated music, encouraging immediate app interaction with a gentle, supportive tone that reinforces Calm’s role as a personal wellness companion.
Why this works
The email opens with a warm, conversational question, 'Do you have a few minutes?', that lowers the barrier to engagement by framing the interaction as a brief, guilt-free moment rather than a demand on the user’s time.
How to implement
Each music selection is paired with evocative imagery and artist names, transforming passive content into an emotionally resonant experience that invites exploration while subtly reinforcing Calm’s curated, high-quality audio library.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle progress indicator or habit streak counter near the CTA to visually reinforce user momentum and motivate continued engagement by making their personal progress tangible. • Include a short testimonial or user quote beneath the hero section to build social proof and validate the emotional benefit of returning to Calm, strengthening the persuasive appeal beyond just visual and musical cues.

Why this works
The email opens with a gentle, time-sensitive question, 'Do you have a few minutes?', which lowers the barrier to engagement by framing the experience as brief and accessible, not demanding, making it perfect for distracted or busy users.
How to implement
Each music tile pairs evocative imagery with clear attribution (artist or curator), building trust and emotional resonance while subtly signaling variety and curation quality, key drivers for users seeking personalized, high-intent relaxation experiences.
Pro Tip
Add a micro-copy line under the CTA button like 'Your 5-minute reset is waiting' to reinforce the benefit and reduce friction by answering the user’s unspoken question: 'Why should I tap now?' • Include a subtle progress indicator or habit streak counter (e.g., 'You’ve meditated 3 days in a row!') near the hero text to personalize the message and leverage behavioral momentum, increasing emotional investment.

Why this works
The email opens with a gentle, empathetic question, 'Do you have a few minutes?', which lowers the barrier to engagement by framing mindfulness as a small, manageable commitment rather than a chore.
How to implement
By featuring trending sessions with recognizable creators and evocative visuals, the email leverages social proof and aesthetic appeal to drive curiosity and immediate clicks without overwhelming the user with too many options.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown or 'last chance' indicator near the top to create urgency around featured sessions, especially since the subject line references a specific date (Feb 17, 2026), which currently feels disconnected from the content. • Reposition the 'Explore by Category' CTA higher in the email, perhaps after the 'Today’s Dailies' section, to capitalize on momentum and reduce scroll friction for users ready to dive deeper into specific content types.

How to implement
Each music album is presented with evocative imagery and minimal text, letting the visual mood and artist name do the heavy lifting, this aesthetic-first approach aligns perfectly with Calm’s brand identity and emotional promise.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle progress indicator or habit streak counter near the hero text to visually reinforce the user’s existing commitment, making the ‘Don’t let your progress fade away’ message more personal and data-driven. • Include a micro-testimonial or user stat (e.g., ‘87% of users who listened to Hygge Suite reported feeling calmer within 10 minutes’) beneath one or two top albums to add social proof without disrupting the serene layout.
