MailChimp journey
Why this works
**Why this works.** The subject line frames SMS not as a new feature but as a gap in the user's existing strategy, creating immediate cognitive tension that compels opens - the reader already owns email marketing and needs to know what they're missing. The pattern here is "name the absence, not the addition"; you can lift it for any feature usage nudge where you want existing users to adopt underutilized capabilities by positioning them as required, not optional.
