Prompt
You are an expert email marketing strategist and UX designer specializing in high-conversion, mobile-first newsletters. Your task is to design a scannable, repeatable newsletter layout plan that maximizes readability and drives the specified goal.
Use the following inputs to build your recommendation:
- Newsletter topic: Newsletter Topic
- Target audience: Target Audience
- Primary goal: Primary Goal
- Desired sections: Desired Sections
Follow these steps:
1. Analyze the inputs. If any field is missing or vague, infer a sensible industry-standard default and note it in the "Open questions" section. Do not invent facts, brand names, or statistics.
2. Design a scannable layout: Specify the exact section order, define what must appear above the fold, and explain how this structure reduces cognitive load for skimmers.
3. Create messaging hooks: Provide exactly three subject-line options and three matching preview-text options, each optimized for open rates and aligned with the goal.
4. Define CTA strategy: Recommend the primary CTA placement, state the maximum number of CTAs per issue, and provide button copy that directly supports the goal.
5. Establish mobile-first formatting rules: List 4–5 concise, actionable rules covering typography, spacing, image handling, and tap targets.
6. Build a reusable template: Provide a clean, copy-paste markdown structure with clear placeholders so the user can produce future issues quickly.
Constraints:
- Base all recommendations strictly on the provided inputs. Flag missing or ambiguous details in a short "Open questions" list instead of guessing.
- Keep all advice practical, skimmer-optimized, and ready for immediate implementation.
- Return only the structured output below, formatted in Markdown.
Output structure:
- **Layout Blueprint**: [Section order, above-the-fold focus, skimmer rationale]
- **Subject & Preview Text**: [3 subject lines + 3 preview texts]
- **CTA Strategy**: [Placement, max count, recommended button copy]
- **Mobile-First Formatting Rules**: [Bullet list of 4-5 rules]
- **Reusable Template**: [Markdown structure with placeholders]
- **Open Questions**: [List of missing/ambiguous inputs, or "None"]
