Email Header and Footer Design
Apply a branded, CAN-SPAM/GDPR-compliant header and footer to a draft Shopify Email/Messaging campaign, not just a written spec.
📋 Prompt
Design email header and footer templates for my store:
Brand name: [YOUR BRAND NAME]
Brand colors: [PRIMARY AND SECONDARY HEX COLORS]
Logo format: [HORIZONTAL/STACKED/ICON ONLY]
Website URL: [YOUR STORE URL]
Social media channels: [INSTAGRAM/FACEBOOK/TWITTER/TIKTOK/PINTEREST - LIST ALL]
Physical address: [BUSINESS ADDRESS FOR CAN-SPAM COMPLIANCE]
Support email: [CUSTOMER SERVICE EMAIL]
Brand tone: [MINIMAL/PLAYFUL/LUXURIOUS/BOLD]
Create specifications for:
Email Header:
Logo placement and recommended size (width in pixels)
Navigation bar with 3-5 key links (shop, new arrivals, sale, etc.)
Background color and padding recommendations
Mobile responsiveness notes (stacking behavior)
Optional: announcement bar above header (free shipping threshold, sale notice)
Recommended total header height
Email Footer:
Section 1: Secondary navigation (FAQ, shipping policy, returns, contact)
Section 2: Social media icon links with recommended icon size
Section 3: Legal requirements (unsubscribe link, preference center, physical address)
Section 4: Optional trust badges or payment icons
Background color and text color for readability
Mobile layout adjustments
HTML/CSS Guidance:
Inline CSS requirements for email compatibility
Font stack recommendations (web-safe with fallbacks)
Link styling (color, underline, hover state)
Spacing and padding values
Dark mode considerations
Provide the content as copyable text blocks ready to implement.
Include CAN-SPAM and GDPR compliance requirements in the footer.
Suggest A/B test ideas for header navigation link order.
Apply this directly inside Shopify: create a draft campaign in Shopify Email (or Shopify Messaging), and edit the header and footer sections of that draft using the specs above — logo, navigation links, social icons, and legal footer content — so the draft is ready to review and send, not just a written spec.
