Product Highlight Email designs from top shaving brands
1. Beardbrand: Original Utility Balm is officially back
Objective
To announce the return of Beardbrand’s Original Utility Balm and drive immediate purchases by highlighting its iconic ingredients, addressing texture concerns, and teasing a new fragrance variant to re-engage past customers and attract new ones.
Why this works
The email brilliantly turns a potential product flaw, texture changes due to heat, into a relatable, humanized selling point by comparing it to life’s natural ups and downs, making the balm feel more authentic and trustworthy.
How to implement
By reintroducing the original formula while teasing an upgraded Temple Smoke fragrance, the campaign strategically appeals to both nostalgic loyalists and novelty-seeking new customers, maximizing emotional and sensory-driven conversion potential.
Pro Tip
Add a small countdown timer or limited-quantity indicator near the CTA to create urgency, since the product is framed as a comeback, scarcity would amplify FOMO and drive faster conversions. • Include a customer testimonial or review snippet under the product grid to reinforce social proof, especially since texture concerns are addressed, real user experiences would validate the reassurance given in the copy.
2. FFS: 🎁 Put his name on it — and a smile on his face
Objective
This email aims to drive Father’s Day gift purchases by highlighting a premium, personalized grooming kit that combines functionality with emotional appeal through engraving. It positions the product as the ultimate practical yet thoughtful gift for dads who value quality and personalization.
Why this works
The email brilliantly merges emotional gifting with product utility by emphasizing personalization, not just as an add-on, but as the core reason this gift will resonate deeply with dads who appreciate thoughtful, lasting presents.
How to implement
By spotlighting the new 4-in-1 LazyFella Bar alongside engraved accessories, the campaign creates a compelling product ecosystem that solves multiple grooming needs while reinforcing the brand’s innovation and customer-centric upgrades.
Pro Tip
Add a visual countdown timer near the CTA in the hero section to reinforce urgency around limited engraving slots and early bird delivery, leveraging FOMO without cluttering the clean layout. • Integrate a small interactive element, like a hover preview of engraved names on the razor handle or soap tin, to help customers visualize personalization before clicking, reducing decision friction.
3. Beardbrand: Coming up on Unsolved Mysteries…
Objective
To create urgency and intrigue around the limited-time Beardbrand Mystery Bundle, encouraging immediate purchase by framing it as a disappearing opportunity tied to the cultural reference of Unsolved Mysteries. The email aims to convert curiosity into sales with a low, fixed price point.
Why this works
The email brilliantly leverages pop culture nostalgia by comparing the mystery bundle’s scarcity to unsolved TV cases, making a simple product drop feel like a cultural event that customers won’t want to miss.
How to implement
By anchoring the offer at a fixed $25 price for three products, the email removes decision fatigue and positions the bundle as a no-brainer value, a psychological trigger that boosts conversion for impulse buyers.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or 'limited stock' indicator near the CTA to reinforce urgency beyond the text, leveraging FOMO more visually and psychologically to drive immediate clicks. • Include a tiny teaser image or icon hinting at possible products in the bundle (e.g., a beard oil droplet or comb silhouette) to reduce perceived risk without spoiling the mystery, increasing trust and conversion.
4. Beardbrand: Can it
Objective
This email aims to highlight the versatility of Beardbrand’s aluminum packaging by showcasing creative, real-world repurposing ideas, encouraging customer engagement and reinforcing brand loyalty through sustainable, practical reuse. It subtly drives product interest by demonstrating long-term value beyond the initial purchase.
Why this works
By transforming product packaging into functional household organizers, Beardbrand turns post-purchase waste into a storytelling opportunity that deepens emotional connection and positions the brand as thoughtful, sustainable, and customer-centric.
How to implement
The email cleverly reframes product empties not as trash but as versatile tools, like travel cases or storage trays, which subtly reinforces product quality while encouraging repeat purchases through perceived long-term utility.
Pro Tip
Add a small visual icon or badge next to each repurposing idea (e.g., ‘Great for Travel’ or ‘Garage Hack’) to help readers quickly scan and mentally map uses to their own lifestyles, increasing relevance and retention. • Place the ‘SHOP NOW’ CTA above the product image instead of beside it, this improves visual hierarchy and ensures the primary action is seen before the eye drifts to the photo, reducing bounce risk.
5. Beardbrand: Making up for lost time
Objective
This email aims to convert long-time onlookers into first-time buyers by leveraging a compelling customer testimonial and highlighting the science-backed benefits of Beardbrand Utility Oil to overcome hesitation and perceived price barriers.
Why this works
By opening with a relatable customer story that admits initial skepticism, Beardbrand builds instant credibility and emotional resonance, making the product feel like a trusted solution rather than a sales pitch.
How to implement
The email smartly reframes the product’s value by focusing on ingredient-level benefits, like Abyssinian Oil for anti-aging and Babassu Oil for non-comedogenic hydration, turning scientific details into persuasive, skin-focused selling points.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or limited-quantity indicator near the CTA to create urgency without discounting, reinforcing the 'making up for lost time' theme and encouraging immediate action. • Include a small visual icon or badge next to each ingredient description (e.g., a shield for 'anti-aging' or a droplet for 'hydration') to make the educational section more scannable and visually engaging for mobile readers.
6. Beardbrand: The end all, be all of grooming
Objective
To position Beardbrand Utility Oil as a versatile, multi-use grooming essential that replaces multiple products, encouraging immediate purchase by highlighting its value, customer validation, and daily utility through a compelling testimonial and clear call to action.
Why this works
By framing the product as an 'end-all, be-all' solution, the email instantly communicates superior value and simplifies the customer’s decision-making process, reducing perceived complexity in grooming routines.
How to implement
Including a verified customer testimonial with specific, relatable benefits, like improved skin under the beard and ink shine, builds authentic social proof that resonates more deeply than generic praise.
Pro Tip
Add a brief bullet list or icon-based visual summary of the 'top 10 best ways to use Utility Oil' directly in the email body to reinforce versatility without requiring users to click away, increasing perceived value before the CTA. • Include a small, time-sensitive element like 'Limited Stock' or 'Only 3 Left at This Price' near the CTA to create urgency, especially since the product is positioned as a premium, multi-use essential with high perceived value.
7. Beardbrand: Killer Deal. Still At Large.
Objective
The email aims to drive urgency and curiosity around Beardbrand’s Mystery Bundle by framing it as a limited, high-value offer that customers must act on quickly to discover its contents. It leverages playful mystery and scarcity to convert interest into immediate purchases.
Why this works
By calling the offer 'The Killer Deal' and repeating 'The killer is still at large,' the email turns a simple product bundle into a playful mystery that triggers curiosity and FOMO, making the customer feel like they’re solving a case by clicking through.
How to implement
The copy cleverly avoids revealing the contents of the bundle while still hinting at its versatility, 'Could be stuff for beard. Could be stuff for hair. Could be stuff for all three', which broadens appeal without sacrificing intrigue or perceived value.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or 'limited stock' indicator near the CTA to amplify urgency, since the current copy implies scarcity but doesn’t visually reinforce it with real-time pressure. • Include a small testimonial or social proof snippet, like 'Over 5,000 bundles sold' or a customer quote, just above the CTA to reduce perceived risk and validate the mystery bundle’s value before the click.
8. Beardbrand: Fewer Products. Better Results. Less Money.
Objective
The email aims to simplify the grooming routine for men by promoting Beardbrand’s Utility Starter Set as a cost-effective, high-quality alternative to cluttered, multi-product regimens. It encourages immediate purchase by highlighting savings and a free gift.
Why this works
By positioning the Utility Starter Set as a minimalist solution that replaces 10+ products, Beardbrand taps into the growing consumer desire for simplicity without sacrificing performance, making the value proposition instantly relatable and emotionally resonant.
How to implement
The email cleverly frames the offer not just as a discount but as a lifestyle upgrade, saving money while achieving better grooming results, which transforms a transactional pitch into a compelling personal benefit that drives urgency and trust.
Pro Tip
Add a short testimonial or customer quote near the CTA to reinforce social proof, since the email positions the set as a superior alternative, real user validation would strengthen credibility and reduce purchase hesitation. • Include a subtle countdown timer or limited-quantity indicator near the offer to amplify urgency, especially since the $20 savings and free gift are time-sensitive incentives that benefit from psychological scarcity.
9. Hanni: back: hydration duo!
Objective
To re-engage customers by announcing the restock of a popular hydration product duo, positioning it as a timely solution for summer skincare needs while encouraging immediate purchase through a bundled value offer and free travel pouch incentive.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties product availability to seasonal urgency by framing the hydration duo as essential for summer fun, making the restock feel timely and personally relevant rather than just a generic inventory update.
How to implement
Including a clear value comparison, $68 versus $92 value, immediately communicates savings without requiring mental math, which reduces friction and reinforces the perceived benefit of acting now while the bundle is available.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or 'limited stock' indicator near the CTA to create urgency, since the email currently lacks any temporal pressure despite promoting a restocked bestseller that may sell out again. • Include a short customer testimonial or social proof near the product image to reinforce trust and efficacy, especially since hydration products rely heavily on perceived results and user experience, which aren’t currently highlighted.
10. Beardbrand: Life Is Full Of Hard Decisions
Objective
This email aims to simplify the decision-making process for customers overwhelmed by scent choices by promoting the Beardbrand Cologne Set as a no-brainer solution, while leveraging social proof and a limited-time discount to drive immediate purchases.
Why this works
By framing scent selection as a ‘no brainer’ against life’s bigger decisions, the email reduces psychological friction and positions the product as a stress-free, emotionally intelligent choice that aligns with modern consumer values.
How to implement
The inclusion of a verified customer testimonial with a personal story and emoji-driven warmth creates authentic social proof that feels conversational and relatable, making the product feel trusted rather than just advertised.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the CTA to reinforce urgency around the 30% discount, which currently lacks temporal pressure despite being framed as a limited-time offer. • Include a small visual icon or label next to each scent name in the product image (e.g., ‘Best Seller’ or ‘Holiday Favorite’) to help users mentally prioritize options and reduce decision fatigue.
