Purple email design examples

The collection is led by onboarding emails, which make up 28% of all the emails in this collection, followed by welcome emails at 22% and account-verification emails at 18%. Examples name a new state or the next action: Close says "[First name], your Close trial starts now. Let’s go 🚀", while Spocket says "Welcome to Spocket, [First name] — let's get your store live 🚀". Their content then moves into setup, including trial details, integrations, data imports and store setup.

Verification messages often state the account task directly. Nosto, Mixpanel, Udacity, Hypotenuse, sevDesk, Heroku, Zoho and Hey all have account-verification emails in the collection. The repeated Udacity subject, "Verify Your Email on Udacity", and AssemblyAI subject, "Your login request to AssemblyAI", both state the immediate account task directly. Pictory's preview text, "From Idea to Video in 5 minutes! ⏱️", describes the promised workflow and duration.

The onboarding emails from Linear, Arize and Poptin provide concrete starting points. Linear asks readers to bring in teammates, Arize guides users through sending a first trace, and Poptin breaks setup into three actions. Their content also includes help, resources or additional guidance.

Blue and purple recur together across many emails. Pink appears with purple in Kandji and Arize, while Zapier and Doppler use dark backgrounds. Everything Kitchens adds red to its blue-and-purple treatment, and Sendbird adds green to its purple-and-blue treatment.

Several emails use personalization, including Doppler's security alert and the Campaign Monitor, Poptin, Spocket and Hey messages. Plain-text treatment appears in Linear's teammate invitation, Mixpanel's welcome, IT Pro's content introduction, Heroku's account confirmation and one Zoho welcome.

The less minimal formats are tied to specific messages. Kandji and Sendbird use video, Everything Kitchens uses a product grid, Poptin uses illustrations, and Purple uses social proof. Purple's subject, "It started with a dumb question.", leads into the brand story, product technology, a mattress quiz and trial details. Close also uses social proof while explaining its unified sales inbox, so the proof appears alongside product context.
