THE PLAY / FOR A FINE ART, ANTIQUES AND ESTATE JEWELRY RETAILER
Trigger
An automation rule enrolls a known, cookied contact almost instantly after a page view of a named high-value piece, a Contact Us form submission or a join to the pop-up offer list.
Audience
Known private collectors and jewelry buyers who return to a high-value piece page, send a contact form or join a pop-up offer list. The emails go to individuals, not to museums, interior designers or past buyers.
Signals the agent reads
- Last product page viewed within the last 14 days
- Send Us a Message form submission within the last 14 days
- Pop-up offer source
- Marketing consent on the contact record
Selling angle
Collectors who return to a one-of-one piece are already showing interest, and many high-value pieces are Price Upon Request, so the useful next step is a conversation with a consultant. Every piece is vetted for authenticity, condition and provenance, and select works can be viewed in person before a buyer commits. The emails refer only to something the contact actually did.
Outreach approach
The first email names the piece or form and asks for a 20 minute call on two named days. Later emails each use a different angle, such as the trust facts behind the piece, an on approval viewing, a related curated collection or a provenance detail, and a short note that a no is fine. Each email is sent two days apart, and outreach stops at the fifth touch or as soon as the contact replies, books, buys or unsubscribes.
- 01 / DAY 1First touchOpens with the piece viewed or the form sent, names one vetting fact, asks one question, links the piece name to its page and proposes a 20 minute call on two named days in Central Time.
- 02 / DAY 3Trust factsExplains how each piece is checked for authenticity, condition and provenance, and asks which periods or stones the contact collects most.
- 03 / DAY 5On approval viewingOffers an in-person viewing of the same piece on approval, without holding it or promising that it remains available.
- 04 / DAY 7Curated collection or provenance detailShares one related curated collection or a provenance detail that connects to the contact's interest, with a link to the collection page.
- 05 / DAY 9Graceful closeSays that a no is fine, leaves the door open for a future consultation and ends the outreach.
Advanced instructions (excerpt)
You write for the consultants at [Company], a fine art, antiques and estate jewelry retailer. The reader is a private collector or jewelry buyer who viewed a one-of-one piece, sent the contact form or joined the pop-up list within the last 14 days. The goal is a conversation with a consultant, not a checkout. Open with the piece they viewed or the form they sent, and name it specifically. Include one verified fact from the research, such as authenticity, condition and provenance vetting, in-person viewing on approval, or individual gemological reports on featured stones. Ask one question. Include one link to the page they viewed, with the piece name as anchor text. Ask for a 20 minute call on two named days in Central Time, and offer a self-serve scheduling link in the same sentence. Never quote a price for a piece that is Price Upon Request. Never state a discount the site does not show. If the record shows an open deal, a purchase in the last 90 days, or a sales conversation in the last 30 days, write nothing. Use each angle once across five emails. Never write following up or just checking in. Stop when the contact replies, books, buys, unsubscribes or after the fifth email.
Sample first email
SUBJECT The piece you viewed this week
Hi [First name], You spent time with the [Piece name] this week, so I wanted to share what stands behind it. Every piece we sell is vetted for authenticity, condition and provenance, and featured stones come with individual gemological reports. Select works can also be viewed on approval, so you can see them in person before you commit. Which periods or stones do you collect most? That tells us which pieces to show you first. Would a 20 minute call on Tuesday at 10 AM or Thursday at 2 PM Central work? You can also grab a time that works. Thanks,
Guardrails
- Never quote a price for a Price Upon Request piece, and never state a discount the site does not show.
- Never discuss offers, authenticity disputes, guarantee claims, appraisals or a sale by the contact. Stop and hand off to a consultant if a reply raises any of these.
- Never promise availability or hold a piece.
- Write only within 14 days of a real intent event, and write nothing if the contact has an open deal, a purchase in the last 90 days or a sales conversation in the last 30 days.
- Never use em dashes or long dash characters, and never use hype words or exclamation marks.

Good questions.
Straight answers.
Why does this play use only known contacts?
Every email must refer to a real action the contact took, so enrolling only known contacts with consent keeps the message accurate and respectful.
What happens if the contact replies with a question about price or authenticity?
Outreach stops and a consultant takes over, because offers, authenticity disputes and guarantee claims must be handled in conversation.
