Write preheader text — AI Prompts for Mailchimp

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task

Write three preheader text options to pair with the June sale subject lines: one that repeats the main benefit (extra 30% off), one that adds a deadline (ends Friday at midnight), and one that mentions free shipping over $50. Keep each under 90 characters and avoid repeating the subject verbatim. I will paste these into the campaign and run a preview with Priya.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I load preheaders into the campaign, make them approval-ready: surface the key benefit within the first 50 characters, suggest one version that complements rather than repeats the subject line, flag any legal issues around shipping claims, and recommend which preheader pairs best with each subject variant for the A/B test.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

Our preheader is showing the default unsubscribe text in previews

I updated the preheader but previews are showing the default unsubscribe text instead, and Marcus will pause the send if it looks unprofessional. I don't know whether the preheader field or template header is overriding it. Diagnose the likely cause and tell me the quickest fix so Marcus will approve the scheduled send.

Become — change the pattern

Preheaders often get overwritten or ignored during builds

We repeatedly see preheaders get overwritten by template headers or ignored in inbox previews, which costs opens and creates rework. I need a stable practice to prevent this across campaigns: what template settings, build checklist steps, and a two-person sign-off would make preheaders reliable every send?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
