Informational email templates

There are several scenarios when a company needs to email their customers or users to provide them with information without being particularly promotional. The most common examples of informational emails are brief news reports about changes in future company direction or management, etc.

Informational emails could also be about modifications to terms and conditions or other legal agreements, as well as statements to reassure subscribers in light of current developments in the industry or global events. These types of messages have been particularly common in the past few years, with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) leading to countless emails about privacy policy changes landing in our inboxes. More recently, the current coronavirus pandemic has caused many brands to constantly update their clients via email about how they are adapting to the ever-evolving situation.

Other types of informational emails are surveys sent to customers to inform them about the possibility to take part in a questionnaire, or an invitation to let them know about a company event that will take place in the near future. In turn, the sender hopes to receive feedback about a product/service, or an RSVP for the recipient’s planned attendance.

Finally, acquisition emails inform users that they have successfully signed up for an account or subscribed to receive newsletter content. Winback messages inform existing customers that they haven’t shopped for a while and that they may be removed from the company database if they remain inactive. These two types of informational emails are slightly more promotional than the others that have been mentioned as they often include calls to action (CTAs) or offer discounts as a reward.

Sending informational emails allows you to reach your existing and potential clients to let them know about specific pieces of news that are necessary for them to read, or that you think they will find useful. Various examples of such messages have been gathered together in this article, with suggested subject lines as a bonus.

What are email templates?

Email templates are message frameworks that you can use as a starting point to write your own copy (simply by changing the suggested text with your own.) Email templates allow you to write emails effortlessly– simply insert images or other content and modify the style to fit your brand’s persona.

General tips for writing better informational emails

Keep it short and informational

Informational emails aren’t called “informational” for no reason. Their main purpose is to inform the recipient about a particular action, and while being creative is always a good thing, you shouldn’t let yourself be too secretive, unclear, or mysterious at this point. Time is money, not just for you but for your email recipients as well.

Be consistent

If there’s a pattern you follow in your informational emails, don’t change it abruptly. Your audience may be used to seeing certain elements inside your emails including subject lines, the layout, or even the time of day you send out your emails. In essence, make sure your clients don’t mistake your emails for those of another brand. Also, send your informational emails only when it’s really necessary – don’t overuse this option and clutter your clients’ inboxes with lots of emails unless it’s something really urgent.

Care about the style

Speaking of your email layout: make sure that your email is properly formatted. It’s likely that many recipients won’t read it all – they’ll judge the content by subject lines, bold statements, or bullet points. Your formatting should speak for itself, be straight to the point, and have an appropriate tone. For example, if there’s something unpleasant to announce, it’s probably not the best idea to overdo your content with emojis or exclamation marks that may only strengthen feelings of disappointment or anger. On the other hand, when there’s something positive to announce, you may want to start your email with a pleasant greeting.
