Why this works
The email brilliantly humanizes the brand by featuring real employee testimonials paired with specific luggage combos, making product choices feel personal, aspirational, and grounded in authentic travel experiences rather than generic advertising.

Add a subtle visual indicator (like a small icon or border) around the 'Shop now' links under each product to increase click visibility without disrupting the clean aesthetic, currently, they blend too easily into the background. ⢠Include a micro-copy line beneath each testimonial like 'Seen on [Employee Name]âs upcoming trip' to reinforce urgency and authenticity, subtly nudging readers toward imagining their own adventures with the same gear.
4. Sale starts now đââď¸
Objective
The email aims to drive immediate sales by creating urgency around a limited-time discount on best-selling suitcases and select bags, encouraging recipients to act quickly before items sell out.
Why this works
The subject line uses a dynamic emoji and action-oriented phrasing to trigger FOMO, making the recipient feel they must act now to avoid missing out on a time-sensitive deal.
How to implement
The hero section combines bold, contrasting typography with a gradient background to visually anchor the sale message, ensuring the discount and urgency are impossible to ignore at a glance.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the CTA to reinforce urgency visually, as the current text-only 'limited time only' lacks real-time pressure that could boost conversion. ⢠Include a small product grid or carousel of top-selling suitcases directly under the hero section to reduce friction, users shouldnât have to scroll past navigation links to see whatâs on sale.
5. Our fan favorites are on sale
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales by highlighting popular, discounted products that customers already love, leveraging urgency with a deadline to encourage quick purchasing decisions before the sale ends.
Why this works
By framing the sale around 'customer favorites,' the email taps into social proof and reduces decision fatigue, making shoppers feel confident theyâre choosing proven, high-value items rather than guessing whatâs worth buying.
How to implement
The clean, alternating grid layout with bold product visuals and minimal text creates effortless scanning, allowing customers to instantly recognize top sellers without being overwhelmed by information or competing calls to action.
Pro Tip
Add a small visual indicator (like a 'Bestseller' badge or star icon) next to each product to reinforce social proof and help shoppers instantly identify top-rated items without reading descriptions. ⢠Include a brief, benefit-driven tagline under each product (e.g., 'Perfect for weekend getaways' or 'Fits under airplane seats') to help customers visualize use cases and justify the purchase emotionally.
6. Final days for up to 35% off*
Objective
This email aims to drive urgency and immediate purchases by highlighting the final days of a limited-time sale offering up to 35% off select suitcases and bags, encouraging customers to act before the offer expires.
Why this works
The email masterfully creates urgency by framing the sale as 'almost gone for good,' which taps into FOMO while keeping the tone light and conversational to match Awayâs brand personality without sounding pushy.
How to implement
Using a bold, high-contrast hero section with a gradient background immediately draws the eye to the core offer, making the discount impossible to miss while maintaining visual harmony with the brandâs clean, modern aesthetic.
Pro Tip
Add a visible countdown timer in the hero section to reinforce urgency visually, since the current text-only deadline may not trigger immediate action for all users who skim emails quickly. ⢠Include a small visual preview or icon next to 'New Arrivals' and 'Suitcases' sections to give users a quick visual cue of whatâs inside, reducing cognitive load and increasing click-through rates on category links.

How to implement
By featuring a clean, alternating grid of products with consistent âShop nowâ links, the email creates visual rhythm and reduces decision fatigue, guiding the shopper smoothly from inspiration to purchase.
Pro Tip
Add a limited-time offer or countdown timer near the hero CTA to create urgency, since Motherâs Day is date-sensitive and shoppers often delay purchases without a clear deadline. ⢠Include a short customer testimonial or quote from a mom who received an Away gift to strengthen social proof and emotional resonance, especially in the hero or product grid section.

How to implement
By spotlighting a Brooklyn-based Chinese-Indonesian artist and embedding her story into the productâs meaning, Away transforms a simple luggage tag into a collectible cultural artifact, deepening brand authenticity and customer connection.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer or âlimited stockâ indicator near the âSHOP ALL REDâ CTA to amplify urgency, especially since the campaign ties to a time-sensitive cultural event and exclusive in-store item. ⢠Include a brief testimonial or social proof quote from a customer who bought red luggage for Lunar New Year, to validate the cultural connection and encourage hesitant buyers by showing real-world adoption.

10. Our #1 travel bag is a total game-changer
Objective
This email aims to drive sales of Awayâs Everywhere Bag by showcasing its versatility across three sizes, emphasizing its functionality for different trip lengths, and encouraging immediate purchase through clear CTAs and visual storytelling.
Why this works
The email brilliantly frames each bag size as a solution to a specific travel need, whether itâs a quick overnight trip or a weekend getaway, making the product feel personally relevant rather than just another bag on the shelf.
How to implement
By visually demonstrating the bagâs interior organization and real-world use cases, like pairing with a carry-on or holding a laptop, the email builds trust through practical storytelling, subtly answering the customerâs unspoken question: âWill this actually work for me?â
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or limited-stock indicator near the primary CTA to create urgency, especially since the subject line positions this as a âgame-changerâ, a claim that benefits from time-sensitive reinforcement. ⢠Include a short customer testimonial or star rating beneath each bag size section to validate the productâs versatility claims, as social proof would strengthen the emotional appeal already built through lifestyle imagery.
