Email Structure & Examples
When you’re reaching out to a visitor identified by IntentWave, the key is to keep it short, human, and relevant. These leads didn’t fill out a form — but they did engage. That’s your window. Here’s how to structure emails that feel helpful, not intrusive, while driving real replies.
Subject Line Ideas
Aim for curiosity and relevance. Reference what they were exploring without sounding robotic.
Still exploring [Category]? Here’s something useful
You were checking out [Topic] — want to see what’s working?
[First Name], saw you were browsing — quick idea for you
Body (3–5 lines)
Keep it direct and value-driven:
You were exploring [solution] — we’ve helped others solve the same challenge.
[Client Example] boosted [Metric] by [X]% using [approach/tool].
Want me to send you a quick breakdown?
Best Practices for Higher Reply Rates
Even the best lead is only as good as the outreach that follows. This section highlights proven tactics our top-performing users rely on to consistently drive opens, clicks, and replies from their identified visitors. These aren't just tips — they’re the habits that separate average campaigns from high-converting ones. Use them to sharpen your messaging, stay compliant, and turn intent into action.
Act Fast
Send your first email within 30–90 minutes of the visit for best engagement.
Keep It Human
Always send from a real email (not marketing@ or no-reply@).
Use Behavior Tags
Mention what page, product, or category they visited for relevance.
