Founder welcome letter email template

A first email can sound like a company or like a person. This one is a short letter from the maker, so the first message a new customer opens comes from someone who made their order, with care tips for the knife and a thank-you code.

Example subject line
A note from Jonas, before your first order arrives
Preview text
Why we make knives the slow way, and what to do the day yours turns up.

What's in this template

  1. Wordmark and headline: Before your knife arrives
  2. Rounded photo of two knives
  3. Founder block with a round portrait, name and role
  4. Personal letter inviting replies, with a signature
  5. What's coming next: 3 care tips with a one-line intro
  6. Dark band with a discount code and a button: See the knives

When to use it

In a new customer's first days, signed by a real person rather than a no-reply address. Makers, small shops and studios whose customers want to know who is behind the work get the most from it.

Make it yours

  • Write the letter in your own voice and sign it with whoever answers replies.
  • Replace the three tips with what a new customer should do first.
  • Set the code to a discount you can honor, and say if it expires.
