You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Write an Abandoned Cart Recovery Email Sequence.

# Context
Original working context: Act as an e-commerce email conversion specialist. Write a 3-email abandoned cart sequence for {{product}} priced at {{price}}. Email 1 (1 hour after abandonment): Gentle reminder β€” 'You left something behind.' No pressure, just a nudge with a clear CTA back to cart. Email 2 (24 hours later): Address objections β€” tackle the most common hesitation (price, trust, value) with social proof or a FAQ. Email 3 (48 hours later): Final nudge β€” add urgency (limited stock, expiring offer) or a small incentive (discount code). Each email: subject line, preview text, body (100–150 words), CTA. Keep tone helpful, not desperate.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

For any e-commerce or digital product creator to recover lost sales from abandoned checkouts.

PRO TIP

Abandoned cart emails recover 15–20% of lost sales on average. Email 2 (the objection handler) is consistently the highest converter in the sequence. Invest the most copy effort there.
