Use case
Onboard Free UserAbout this email
This email from Semrush serves to guide users on how to leverage competitor analysis to improve their marketing ROI. It is structured with a friendly greeting, step-by-step instructions on identifying competitors, analyzing their traffic, and choosing strategies to outperform them, supplemented by call-to-action buttons and images. The tone is informative, motivational, and supportive, encouraging proactive engagement with Semrush's tools and resources.
Why this works
**Why this works.** The subject line names a competitor-focused outcome ("understand your competitors' strategies") rather than a Semrush feature, so free users immediately recognize the email solves a problem they already have instead of asking them to learn a tool. The pattern here is "lead with the user's goal, not your product"; you can lift it for any feature usage nudge where the feature is just the means to an end that matters more to the user.
