The Everlane logo sits at top. A black-and-white photo shows a model in a black knit polo and sheer tights on a stool. Headline: "Here's 20% Off on Us," with instructions to enter your email at checkout. Buttons for "Shop Women" and "Shop Men" follow. A "Cleaner Fashion" section explains the brand's sustainable factories and materials, with a "Learn More" button. "Find Your New Favorites" shows four categories: Tees, Denim, Sweaters, Tops, then Shop Women and Shop Men buttons again. A "Got Any Qs?" support section lists hours and a "Message Us" button. The footer has navigation links, store and text sign-up icons, social icons, offer terms, and the company address.

The big things are right, and a few of them are worth borrowing.

  • Sender scored 99 out of 100
  • Layout scored 97 out of 100

A welcome email for a new Everlane subscriber that skips the small talk and gets straight to the discount: subject and opening line both say "Here's 20% Off on Us," then it moves from offer to brand story to shoppable categories to support.

Editor’s note

Why it’s the Best of Email

  1. CTA scored 70 out of 100

    No scrolling for the ask

    The primary call to action is above the email fold, appearing in the first 10% of the email.

  2. Subject line scored 90 out of 100

    Says 20%, means 20%

    The subject line promises 20% off and the email delivers that same offer right away.

  3. Layout scored 97 out of 100

    A scroll that fits the screen

    At 156 words, this promotional email stays comfortably under the 300-word mark that reads easily on a phone.

  4. Images scored 97 out of 100

    Every image has something to say

    All images carry alt text, so the email holds up with images off or with a screen reader.
