How Bearaby does email marketing that converts
1. Meet our NEW travel collection
Objective
This email aims to introduce Bearaby’s new travel-weighted blanket collection by positioning it as the essential companion for calm, comfort, and relaxation while on the go, encouraging immediate purchase through lifestyle-driven visuals and clear product benefits.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties emotional benefit to product utility by framing the travel blanket not just as a physical item, but as a portable sanctuary, making comfort feel like a destination you can carry with you anywhere.
How to implement
By using a vibrant, warm color palette and joyful imagery of people actively enjoying life while using the product, the campaign transforms a functional item into a lifestyle symbol, subtly suggesting that calm is an experience you choose to bring along.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or limited-availability tag near the CTA to create urgency, since the email currently lacks any time-sensitive incentive that might nudge hesitant buyers toward immediate action. • Include a short customer testimonial or social proof near the product features, such as '92% of travelers say this blanket made their trip more restful', to strengthen credibility and reduce perceived risk for first-time buyers.
2. Black Friday Sale. Valid for 24 hours.
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate purchases by promoting Bearaby’s Black Friday sale with a 24-hour time limit, encouraging urgency while positioning the brand as a solution for better sleep through its natural, plastic-free weighted blankets.
Why this works
The email leverages scarcity effectively by displaying a live countdown timer and emphasizing 'One Day Only,' which creates psychological urgency without feeling pushy, making recipients more likely to act immediately.
How to implement
By featuring a warm, authentic image of a smiling customer wrapped in the blanket alongside gift boxes, the email visually communicates comfort, joy, and gifting potential, subtly aligning the product with emotional rewards and holiday giving.
Pro Tip
Add a brief bullet list under the hero image highlighting key product benefits (e.g., 'Plastic-free, temperature-regulating, machine washable') to reinforce value before the CTA, reducing hesitation for first-time buyers. • Include a small testimonial quote or star rating near the product image to strengthen social proof and address potential skepticism about comfort or effectiveness, especially for those unfamiliar with weighted blankets.
3. Fall into nicer naps
Objective
This email aims to promote Bearaby’s Tree Napper collection by evoking seasonal comfort and eco-consciousness, encouraging recipients to shop specific weighted blankets tied to autumnal moods and sustainability values.
Why this works
The email masterfully ties product benefits to seasonal emotional states, like ‘fall into nicer naps’, making the blanket feel less like a purchase and more like a mood-enhancing ritual for cozy autumn days.
How to implement
By spotlighting the fabric’s origin in natural eucalyptus fibers and calling it ‘Forest-Friendly,’ the campaign transforms a simple material detail into an emotionally resonant sustainability story that aligns with eco-aware consumers’ values.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or limited-edition tag near the CTA buttons to create urgency around seasonal colors, especially since fall-themed products often have short windows of peak relevance. • Include a customer testimonial or review snippet under each blanket section to reinforce social proof, particularly helpful when selling tactile, experience-driven products like weighted blankets.
4. Two days left to save!
Objective
This email aims to drive urgency and conversions by highlighting a limited-time Cyber Week sale with up to 30% off, encouraging recipients to shop before the deadline of December 8th. It leverages social proof by showcasing the top-selling Driftwood Cotton Napper to nudge immediate purchase decisions.
Why this works
The email brilliantly combines urgency with emotional appeal by pairing a hard deadline with a cozy, intimate image of a couple sleeping under the blanket, making the sale feel personal and time-sensitive, not just transactional.
How to implement
By spotlighting the Driftwood Cotton Napper as the year’s most popular weighted blanket, the campaign taps into social proof and FOMO, subtly guiding shoppers toward a proven bestseller without overwhelming them with choices.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the 'Shop Sale' CTA to visually reinforce urgency and reduce the cognitive load of calculating days left, increasing conversion likelihood for time-sensitive shoppers. • Include a short testimonial or star rating next to the Driftwood Napper product image to strengthen social proof and reduce perceived risk, especially for first-time buyers unfamiliar with weighted blankets.
5. A match made from muslin
Objective
This email aims to introduce and drive sales of Bearaby’s new Muslin Cocoon blanket by highlighting its soft, calming texture and versatility for rest and relaxation. It also encourages cross-selling by suggesting pairing it with their Napper weighted blanket for enhanced comfort.
Why this works
The email masterfully positions the Muslin Cocoon not just as a blanket but as a sensory experience, using phrases like 'Calm To The Touch' and 'soothing calm' to emotionally anchor the product in relaxation and rest, which resonates deeply with stressed, comfort-seeking audiences.
How to implement
By visually and textually pairing the new Cocoon with the existing Napper weighted blanket, Bearaby creates an irresistible upgrade path, turning a single product launch into a strategic cross-sell moment that increases average order value without feeling pushy or salesy.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer or limited-edition badge near the hero CTA to create urgency around the new Muslin Cocoon launch, since the current design lacks any time-sensitive incentive that could nudge immediate action. • Include a short customer testimonial or social proof snippet under the 'Calm To The Touch' section to validate the comfort claims, right now, the benefit is stated but not reinforced by real-user experience, which could increase trust and conversion.
6. Same Cuddling, new covers
Objective
This email aims to introduce and promote Bearaby’s new cotton knit Cuddling pillow covers while reinforcing the product’s comfort and sustainability benefits to encourage immediate purchase. It also seeks to re-engage existing customers by highlighting a refreshed design option for a familiar product.
Why this works
The email brilliantly reframes a functional sleep accessory as a lifestyle upgrade by using warm, inviting language like 'Give Your Legs A Lift' and 'Naturally Cuddly,' making the product feel emotionally resonant rather than purely utilitarian.
How to implement
By spotlighting the new cotton knit material and color options early, the campaign taps into aesthetic-driven purchasing behavior while subtly reinforcing brand values through phrases like 'sustainably squashy' and 'GOLS-certified organic Melofoam.'
Pro Tip
Add a limited-time offer or urgency trigger (e.g., 'New Covers Launching, First 50 Orders Get Free Shipping') near the primary CTA to reduce hesitation and boost conversion from curious browsers. • Include a short testimonial or user-generated content snippet under the 'Naturally Cuddly' section to build social proof and validate the comfort claims, especially since the product’s benefit is experiential and subjective.
7. Wishing You a Restful Thanksgiving
Objective
This email aims to strengthen customer loyalty and emotional connection by sharing a heartfelt message from the founder, Kathrin, expressing gratitude for customer support during the Thanksgiving season while subtly reinforcing the brand’s origin story and values.
Why this works
The founder’s personal storytelling, sharing how Bearaby began in a garage with her mom, creates an authentic, human connection that transforms customers from buyers into valued participants in the brand’s journey.
How to implement
By framing customer purchases as acts of shared purpose, ‘Every time you wrap yourself in our weighted blankets, it’s a reminder of why we strive to bring comfort and sustainability into the world’, the email elevates product use into a meaningful ritual.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle visual element, like a warm-toned photo of the founder or a cozy weighted blanket in a home setting, to break up the text-heavy layout and reinforce the emotional tone without distracting from the message. • Include a secondary CTA such as ‘Shop Our Bestsellers’ or ‘Gift a Cozy Moment’ near the end to gently guide readers toward action without undermining the gratitude-focused tone of the message.
8. Cyber Monday Starts Now
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales by creating urgency around Bearaby’s Cyber Monday sale, highlighting limited-time discounts and popular products to encourage quick purchasing decisions from subscribers.
Why this works
The email leverages a real-time countdown timer in the header to instill urgency, making subscribers feel the sale is slipping away, a psychological trigger that boosts conversion by encouraging immediate action.
How to implement
By spotlighting a best-selling product with social proof, 'More than 10,000 sold in the last 24 hours', the campaign taps into FOMO and trust, subtly validating the product’s popularity and quality without needing testimonials.
Pro Tip
Add a secondary CTA beneath the product highlight (e.g., 'See All Sale Items') to capture users who may not be ready to buy the featured sheets but want to explore more discounted products. • Include a brief value-driven tagline under the hero image, such as 'Plastic-free comfort, now 27% off', to reinforce brand ethos and connect the discount to the product’s unique selling proposition.
9. Last day to get your gifts!
Objective
This email aims to drive last-minute holiday purchases by emphasizing urgency with a midnight deadline for guaranteed delivery and highlighting the product’s appeal as a luxurious, appreciated gift. It leverages social proof and festive visuals to convert hesitant shoppers.
Why this works
The email brilliantly pairs urgency with emotional gifting by anchoring the deadline to a specific delivery date, making the offer feel personal and time-sensitive rather than just promotional.
How to implement
By featuring a warm, candid lifestyle photo of two people relaxing under the blanket, the campaign visually communicates comfort and connection, key emotional triggers that elevate the product beyond mere utility.
Pro Tip
Add a visible countdown timer near the CTA to reinforce urgency and reduce decision fatigue, the current deadline is buried in text and lacks real-time pressure. • Include a mini FAQ or gift guide snippet (e.g., 'Perfect for: Parents, Students, Cozy Lovers') to help undecided buyers quickly self-identify as ideal recipients.
10. A Beary Happy Thanksgiving
Objective
This email aims to strengthen customer loyalty by expressing heartfelt gratitude during Thanksgiving, reinforcing emotional connection through personalization and brand values like coziness and sustainability. It positions Bearaby as a warm, human-led brand that values its community.
Why this works
Bearaby masterfully blends personalization with brand ethos by addressing the recipient by name and tying customer loyalty to the emotional warmth of family and sustainability, making the message feel intimate rather than transactional.
How to implement
The email leverages the cultural moment of Thanksgiving not for sales, but for relationship-building, a strategic choice that positions the brand as thoughtful and values-driven, which can deepen long-term customer trust and advocacy.
Pro Tip
Add a secondary CTA inviting customers to share their cozy Thanksgiving moments on social media with a branded hashtag, this would turn gratitude into engagement and user-generated content without compromising the email’s warm tone. • Include a small visual element, even a simple icon or divider, to break up the text-heavy layout and guide the eye, enhancing readability and making the heartfelt message feel more intentional and polished.
