Expand UserAbout this email
This email promotes Calendly's annual billing plan by highlighting the financial benefits, such as a 20% discount equating to almost three months free. The structure prominently features bold visuals and clear call-to-action buttons encouraging users to switch to annual billing and apply the discount. The tone is friendly, persuasive, and supportive, with help resources and contact links provided to assist recipients in making the change.

Why this works
**Why this works.** The subject line frames the discount as something already earned ("unlocked") rather than something being offered, which converts the email from a sales pitch into a claim redemption - users feel they're collecting a reward they deserve, not being sold to. The pattern here is "reframe discount as achievement"; you can lift it for any expand user email where you want existing customers to upgrade without triggering sales resistance.
