Email and SMS marketers obsess over your campaign subject lines, A/B test your hero images, and argue about send times.
Meanwhile the emails with the highest open rates in your entire business are sitting untouched: your order confirmation, your shipping notification, your “out for delivery” email.
On today’s epsisode of Send it! Podcast, Jimmy Kim and Chase Dimond break down why transactional emails get opened at 80-100%, why almost every brand treats them like pure plumbing, and exactly how far you can push them before you cross a real legal and deliverability line.
What we cover:
→ Why transactional emails get opened at rates your campaigns can only dream of
→ The psychology behind every stage of the shipping journey (order confirmation, shipping, out for delivery)
→ The two dumb reasons brands never touch these emails
→ The legal concept of “primary purpose” and why it protects transactional sends
→ The deliverability risk of jamming promotional content into a transactional stream
→ A full email-by-email playbook: what belongs in your order confirmation, shipping notification, out-for-delivery email, post-delivery follow-up, and back-in-stock alert
→ How to measure whether your additions are actually working, without compromising the core message
If you’ve never opened your own order confirmation email as a customer, this episode will change how you think about it.
