International Women's Day Email Examples
Last updated: September 25, 2026
These international women's day email examples give your store ready-to-send campaigns for March 8: spotlights on the women who started your shop and make your products, a giving-back campaign, a collection launch with early access, and gift and shipping notes. Each one includes a subject line, preview text, full body copy and advice on when to send it.
Women's Day Spotlight Emails
Sent in the week before March 8 to introduce the women behind your store, from the founder to the makers and suppliers, so the day feels personal rather than promotional.
Founder Story Email
Hi [first name], [Store name] began with [founder name] and one frustration: [the problem she set out to solve]. For International Women's Day, we asked her to write the part of the story that never fits on our About page: how [first product] went from [where it started] to your doorstep, the year she almost stopped, and the advice she gives every woman who asks how to start a business. It is a five-minute read, and it explains a lot about how we still do things. [Read Her Story] With thanks, [Store name]
Meet the Makers Email
Hi [first name], Every [product name] you have ordered from us passed through the hands of [maker name] and her team in [location]. This week we are introducing the women who make what we sell. You will see where they work, how long each piece takes, and the one step in the process each of them refuses to rush. We also asked what they wish shoppers knew before buying. Their answers changed how we write our product pages, and they might change how you look at the things on your shelf. [Meet the Makers] Warmly, [Store name]
Customer Feature Invitation
Hi [first name], A lot of the women who shop with us are building something of their own: a studio, a side business, a [type of project] that started small and kept growing. On International Women's Day we want to hand our blog and social channels to them. If that describes you, we would love to feature your work, with your name, your story and a link to your shop. Reply with a few lines about what you make, or use the short form below. We will show you the finished post and get your approval before anything goes live. [Share Your Work] Thank you, [Store name]
Women's Day Giving Back Emails

Donation Week Announcement
Hi [first name], From March 1 to March 8, [percentage] of every order at [Store name] goes to [organization name], which [what the organization does, in one sentence]. We chose them because [the honest reason, such as a team member volunteers there or they work in our town]. There is nothing extra to do. Shop as you normally would and the donation comes from our side, not yours. When the week ends, we will email you the total we sent along with their receipt. [Shop and Give] Thank you for being part of it, [Store name]
Halfway Progress Update
Hi [first name], Four days into our International Women's Day campaign, your orders have raised [amount] for [organization name]. To make that concrete: [amount] covers [a specific thing the organization funds, such as a week of childcare for a mother in job training]. Our goal is [goal amount] by the end of March 8.

Women's Day Collection Launch Emails
Sent when you launch a collection from women-owned brands or women makers around March 8. Early access, launch day and a last-chance note make a simple three-email sequence.
Collection Early Access Email
Hi [first name], Tomorrow we launch [collection name]: [number] pieces made by independent women makers and women-owned brands we have been working with. You get in first. From now until [time] tomorrow, the collection is open only to people on this list, so you can shop before quantities thin out. Each product page tells the story of the woman who made it, including her workshop, her materials and why she started. [Shop Early Access] See you inside, [Store name]
Collection Launch Day Email
Hi [first name], [Collection name] is open to everyone as of this morning. We spent [number] months finding the makers for it. Some run one-woman studios, others lead teams of [number].

Stock is limited, and some pieces are made in batches of [number]. [Explore the Collection] Happy shopping, [Store name]
Last Pieces Reminder
Hi [first name], A week after launch, most of [collection name] has found a home. What is left: [product name] in [size or color], [product name], and a handful of [product type]. Because our makers work in small batches, we cannot promise restocks. If something caught your eye on launch day, now is the time to decide. If you miss out, the waitlist button on each product page shows [maker name] and the other makers how much demand there is for the next batch. [Shop the Last Pieces] Thanks, [Store name]
Women's Day Gift and Shipping Emails
Sent in the days before March 8 to customers buying a gift for a mentor, colleague, sister or friend. Give clear delivery dates and a digital option for late shoppers.
Thank-You Gift Suggestion
Hi [first name], Most of us can name a woman who changed our course: the manager who argued for our promotion, the teacher who pushed, the friend who said go for it while we were still hesitating. International Women's Day is a good excuse to tell her. Pick a gift under [amount], add a note in your own words, and we will print it on a card and pack it with care. Order by [date] and it arrives before March 8. [Send a Thank-You Gift] Warmly, [Store name]
