Why be standard when you can be s·t·a·n·d·o·u·t with your canned emails?
Receiving (and using) canned emails is the worst. Boilerplate, robotic, generic internet-speak doesn’t show off who you are, what you have to offer, or how deeply you understand your people.
But canned emails are there for a reason…they’re a huge time saver, a consistent base to start from, and an automated part of your workflow and customer experience.
And they’re SO much better if they sound like they’re written by a human for another human. Better yet, sound like yourself and make your customer feel seen and heard.
Enter: The Standard To Stand Out Email Template Collection, a super curated and customizable suite of 10 email templates to take your email outreach and your entire customer experience from run-of-the-mill to true-to-you.
This is the brainchild of me (your values-aligned brand messaging strategist) and Angela Ellison (your conscious systems pro and last week’s podcast guest!).
So, how do you go from standard canned emails to standout customer experience touchpoints?
Start with your subject lines, salutations, and sign-offs.
