Drift templates

The kit, then each template beside the Drift send it was cut from. Nothing is live. Tick what looks right, comment on anything off, then Copy for Claude and paste it back.

Round 3: your Flash Sale fixes are in, short labels are 16px (body and buttons stay 18), and every item says what changed. Ticks start fresh because all four changed. Static images only; GIFs on request.

Kit

Changed: Labels are now 16px (your call). New styles, all measured on Drift's sends: Offer badge (Medium 35), Label medium 16, Label 17, Label 18, Badge price (Bold 20) and Badge price large (Bold 31). New colour: Terracotta bright #B45A36 for IT'S BACK. Drift's terracotta rule gets a one-line exception for that headline; accent text on dark stays beige or white everywhere else.

15 colours: Drift's own declared tokens plus one measured on the flash sale send; 25 text styles measured from Drift's 2026 sends.

Flash Sale

Changed: 20% OFF is no longer bold: the send's Medium 35. IT'S BACK is the send's light terracotta, not white.

Cadence: about monthly and in bursts: a launch to Actives, Leads and Resubs, then one to three follow-ups 1 to 6 days later (last chance, ends tomorrow, final hours); 2026: Jan 30, Mar 20, May 9, Aug 6, Aug 27, Sep 24, Oct 2. The same two modules carry seasonal sales (Labor Day, Black Friday) with their own offer

Limited Drop

Changed: Short labels at 16px or the send's size: notes and add-on lines Medium 16, the strip and WOOD/STONE Bold 17. Price badges now Bold 20 and 31 as in the send (were Medium 20 and 28).

Best Limited Drop click rate on Actives in the last 365 days (1.73% unique clicks per delivered vs a 1.01% median over 45 sends) and the newest strong drop; its general availability follow-up ranks first in the type.
