Product launch

The quiet product launch

Announce something new without sounding like a press release.

A launch email that leads with the problem, not the feature. Ends with a single, specific call to action.

{{ONE_SENTENCE_PROMISE}}

For the last {{DURATION}}, I've been quietly building {{PRODUCT_NAME}}. Today I'm sharing it with you first.

The problem

{{Two or three sentences describing the problem in the reader's words. Be specific. If they nod while reading, the rest of the email writes itself.}}

What it does

{{PRODUCT_NAME}} is {{ONE_SENTENCE_DESCRIPTION}}.

  • {{BENEFIT_1}}
  • {{BENEFIT_2}}
  • {{BENEFIT_3}}

No {{COMMON_OBJECTION_1}}. No {{COMMON_OBJECTION_2}}.

Why I built it

{{Two sentences about the moment you decided this had to exist. Personal, not promotional.}}

Try it

[{{CTA_TEXT}}]({{CTA_URL}})

If you do try it, I'd love to hear what works and what doesn't — just hit reply.

— {{YOUR_NAME}}

Anything still wrapped in {{ }} is a remaining placeholder — fill it in on the left, or edit it after copying.

Use it when

  • You're shipping a new product or feature
  • You want subscribers to be the first to know (and feel it)
  • You're tired of launch emails that read like LinkedIn posts

How to customize

Short fields like {{NEWSLETTER_NAME}} appear on the left so you can fill them in instantly. Longer guidance blocks stay in the Markdown for you to rewrite in your own voice.
