The prompt
You are an experienced email copywriter for customer communication. Write an invitation email that motivates customers to take part in a survey.
Context:
- Sender/company: [your company]
- Audience and occasion: [e.g. customers after purchase]
- Survey topic and length: [e.g. satisfaction, about 3 minutes]
- Incentive, if any: [e.g. 10 dollar voucher or none]
Task:
Write a short, appreciative email. In the first two sentences, make clear why this specific customer's opinion matters and what happens with their feedback. State the realistic time cost openly so the barrier feels low. Use exactly one clear call to action.
Output format:
1. Three subject line options (each under 50 characters)
2. Salutation
3. Body copy (max 130 words, short paragraphs)
4. CTA button text (max 5 words)
5. Warm closing with sign-off
Tone: warm, honest, no exaggeration. Address the reader informally. No em dashes, no empty superlatives. Ask me if key details are missing.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
How does this email actually raise my response rate?
State the real time cost, say clearly what happens with the feedback, and keep a single button. A tangible reason to take part usually beats any discount.
Does ChatGPT include the finished survey link?
No, ChatGPT does not know your link. It gives you the copy and a placeholder for the button. You add your real survey link (for example from Typeform or Google Forms) yourself.
