Last chance. Seriously.It’s now or never. Oh no, final reminder. Last day. Last chance. Last moment. In 3,2,1. Oh no, it’s gone.
If you have an inbox, you know what I’m talking about.
These urgency-based emails flood our inboxes daily and wreak havoc on Black Friday. They attempt to push our FOMO button, but most only push us to the “unsubscribe” or “mental ignore” buttons.
And yet, urgency emails can be incredibly effective, especially during those nail-biting last days of a promotion.
I’ve seen them work like magic during Black Friday, with some of clients hitting all-time revenue highs.
But here’s the problem:
Nobody wants to be the one causing subscribers to hit that 'unsubscribe' button. Many business owners are afraid of coming off too strong, of becoming that annoying, spammy voice in someone's inbox.
And let's be honest, most of the time, urgency emails are all about that dreaded FOMO – making you feel like you're missing out, like you're somehow not enough.
It's not a great feeling, is it?
But here's the thing, and it's something we can't just brush under the carpet – urgency emails work. They really do.
And you don't have to. There is a better way.
You can employ urgency without resorting to aggressive tactics that can make anyone cringe.

I went and immediately implemented the advice from the guide and I’m really happy with how the updated emails sound and align with my value of wanting to help people transform with my program. Can’t wait to see how they perform :)
Whether it’s your first launch or hundreds get this guide so you can have a bigger more positive impact!"
The Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is a phenomenon where people have a constant fear of missing out on something, usually related to social events, experiences, or opportunities.
It’s normally employed in sales emails as a powerful motivator for action.
However, when you do too much (or too often), when emails are dangling the FOMO with discounts, deadlines, and bonuses, they’re actually creating an irrational feeling of anxiety.
Which, you guessed it, makes your audience feel not good.
At the end of a promotion, you’d typically have a going – going series. Most brands use the basic {48hrs alert} {last day} {final reminder} type of emails.
But these emails have become overused and as a result many subscribers are becoming desensitised to the tactic. I write two email promotions for a client a month. If I’d use the same urgency tactic every single time, readers will get annoyed and disengage with the brand.
It’s also not the best way to convey the benefits, transformation and even the brand values. Plus, there are audiences who do not react well to throwing urgency and scarcity in their faces.
So, what’s a better way to effectively motivate readers into taking action without dangling the carrot of discounts, bonuses and value?
I’ll introduce you to 3 examples of urgency emails that go beyond fear-mongering or the pressure of an expiring discount. Each tackle a very specific obstacle to taking action, but in a different way to what you’d expect.
