Then talk about the challenges faced by the customer. After discussing it, showcase how you can provide the best solution to it. You can share a case study to emphasize how you have already helped similar clients to get rid of those problems.

In conclusion, present the special discounts you have. Write the available services in points and bullets so that it is easy to scan and skim for the audience. This will further excite the reader to click on the link.

Finally, end your email by giving a clear call to action. It is the most impactful part of your email. So, craft it carefully. And don’t forget to give a P.S. at the end. Every individual opening your email will read it. So, make it informative and valuable.
