# Create Your First Email

Getting started is quick. The easiest way to create your first branded email is to use one of Holo's suggested email ideas or clone an email you like from a competitor.

#### Open the Emails page

From the left sidebar, click **Emails** to open the Email workspace.

Here you'll find multiple ways to create branded emails, along with AI-generated ideas and competitor inspiration.

#### Option 1: Start from a suggested email idea (Recommended)

The quickest way to create an email is from **Email ideas**.

Holo automatically generates campaign ideas tailored to your Brand DNA and products, including promotions, educational emails, product spotlights, storytelling campaigns, social proof emails, and more.

1. Browse the suggested email ideas.
2. Click the idea you'd like to create.
3. Choose the **email length** (Short, Medium, or Long).
4. Click **Create email**.

The product has already been selected for each suggested idea, so you only need to choose the desired email length before generating.

#### Option 2: Clone a competitor email

If you like the style or structure of an email from another brand, you can use **Competitor emails** as inspiration.

You can browse competitor emails or filter them by **niche** to find examples that match your industry.

To create an email:

1. Select a competitor email.
2. Choose:
   * The **product** you want to promote.
   * The **email length** (Short, Medium, or Long).
   * The **number of email variations** you'd like to generate.
3. Click **Get prompts**.
4. Review the generated prompt. You can keep it as is, edit it, or completely rewrite it to better match your goals.
5. Click **Create emails**.

Holo will generate branded emails inspired by the selected competitor email while adapting the content to your products, Brand DNA, and any prompt changes you've made.
