Approved (Drive doc “#7 Cocoanatto - Extended”: “LAST CHANCE EMAIL & MMS APPROVED”), shown as written. Send: Mon Nov 16, 11:00 AM ET, everyone who has not bought; MMS 2:00 PM ET.

  • Typos kept as written: “Supercocoa™️Blood” (no space, lowercase c) → SuperCocoa™ Blood; the “*” after the headline points to the FDA line, which the doc doesn’t include (added below).
  • “120 of the 2,000” is written days before the send. It has to be the real count, read from Shopify Monday morning.
  • Doc name: the title says #7, the NAME line says “#6 Cocoanatto - Launch Extended”. Placed in slot 07 (EM-302, “Launch Extended”).
  • Subject: “Sorry,” is untested with “This is it.”; best measured “Sorry,” pairing is “Sorry for not reaching out sooner. Things are winding down, and I didn’t want you to miss this.” (91.2%, n=2). GlockApps first.
  • Banners: the team’s Nov 11 set: “50% off (6 hours left)” on the email, “LAST CHANCE 50% (3H LEFT)” on the 2 PM text, as the doc names them.
  • Serving: “Two capsules. Nothing to mix.” The final label copy (Nov 10) says three capsules a day. Approved copy, not changed here: your call. The 70% version beside it says three.
  • The final hour is slot 08 (ours, Nov 10): one hour before the close, 50% and 70%.

Ours (doc: “we need a 70% heartfelt version for our vets”). The approved 50% email’s beats in the same order, with the thanks as the reason and the pledge report promised in 05’s P.S.

  • “Pledged”, not “sent”: the money is reported next week, as 05 promised.
  • “120 of the 2,000” mirrors the approved 50% email: one real number in both, read Monday morning.
  • Banners: the team’s Nov 11 “70% off vets (6 hours left)”, which matches “6 hours left on your 70%”; the 2 PM text carries “LAST CHANCE 70% (3H LEFT)”.
Rating · 70% · veterans · ours, Nov 98.5 · 8.0 · 8.5 · 8.0 · 4 (no fair comparable)
CriterionScoreWhy
1 · Soap Opera Sequence8.5/10Closes three loops at once: Friday’s count, the veterans’ window, 05’s promise to report the pledge.
2 · Hook / Story / Offer8.0/10Same order as the approved 50% (deadline, count, CTA, reason, product, CTA), with the thanks as the reason.
3 · The 3 Closes8.5/10Fear (6 hours, 120 left), emotion (“we noticed”), logic (the two numbers).
4 · BFS 4A-4G + Brand Voice8.0/10Wrapper = the best measured “Sorry,” pairing (91.2% inbox, n=2, the dash-free one). The pledge stays “pledged” until the money is paid (Juan, Nov 3).
5 · Antonio’s RPR scale4.0/10No fair comparable (see below).

Criterion 5 in Antonio’s format

No fair comparable. The veterans’ list is built from replies to slot 04 (“reply with your branch”), so it is small and every reader asked for the offer: its RPR will sit far above any main-list send and say little about the copy. Closest occasion send: Veterans Day 2024 (Spermidine Last Chance, main list, $0.216, read Nov 3). Scored 4 like the main-list sends until it has its own number.

Main-list comparable for the slot: #7 Natto last chance (Jun 8, 01KTKWVKWC093JSRX21W7HHAJC), live pull Nov 9, 365 days: $0.23 RPR, 0.34% CVR, $57,973 on 256,694 → 4/10.

What’s keeping it from a 10:

  1. “120 of the 2,000” is the approved email’s figure written in advance. Fix: read the real count from Shopify Monday morning and use it in both versions.
  2. “Sorry,” placed worst of the recent set in Gmail Primary on Oct 9. Fix: GlockApps before it is scheduled.

The send, and what it exploresthe last chance: 6 hours left, the count, no extension; 50% approved, 70% veterans beside it

Subject (approved, Drive doc Nov 9): “Sorry, {first_name}!”

The 50% email and MMS are approved in the Drive doc (Nov 9): 6 hours left, “120 of the 2,000”, no extension, the two things no checkup measures, three proof lines, and the veterans’ 70% closing too. Beside it, the 70% heartfelt version the doc asks for (ours, Nov 9), with its own MMS.

Before it sends: the real bottle count from Shopify Monday morning (both versions), the typo in the headline, GlockApps on “Sorry,”, the code VETS70 on the 70% banner.

Also in the team’s Nov 11 set: “6 HOURS LEFT” mobiles (50%, 70%). No text goes at 11 AM (the doc’s text is at 2 PM, with the 3H ones), so they are not placed.

Research brief & gatesthe extension and its precedents

Same terms, a stated reason. Precedents: Sleepy Cocoa #7 $0.285; cocoa relaunch #5 $0.250; coffee $0.143. “Sorry,” placed worst in the recent Gmail set: GlockApps preflight before it is scheduled.

  • Every number from a primary source, fetched and read, before it reaches copy.
  • Never “dissolves clots”, “clears plaque”, “lowers blood pressure”, organ repair, “FDA approved”, synergy, the five-day stem cell line.
  • Never attack cocoa, natto, the enzyme, doctors or the morning cup. Never tell a reader to stop a prescribed drug.
  • No supplier names, no manufacturing details, no COGS.
  • No em dashes. Alt text five words or fewer. GlockApps preflight before scheduling.
