### Design approach: Bold, trustworthy, and membership-focused

This email uses Costco’s signature red and clean, disciplined layout to make the perk feel official and valuable. The design balances prestige with clarity, helping you communicate the offer without hype.

- **Receipt-style perk breakdown** – The itemized “Member Perk Receipt” is the unique transactional element. It adds transparency and a sense of tangible value, making the $500+ box feel concrete and earned.
- **Member status bar** – The progress indicator and “Available — Not Yet Redeemed” label create a gentle nudge. It visually tracks the member’s journey and reinforces that this is an active, time-sensitive benefit.
- **Strong, simple CTA** – The red button with ample padding stands out as the primary action. The button color matches the brand anchor, making it unmistakable and trustworthy.
- **Clean typography and spacing** – Ample white space and a single-column structure keep the email scannable. The logo is large and prominent, reinforcing brand recognition immediately.
- **Hidden footer copy** – The background‑colored text is an invisible SEO/accessibility layer. It does not affect the visual design but adds brand depth for screen readers and email clients that parse hidden content.

                                Costco Wholesale Corporation was founded in 1983 in Seattle, Washington, by James Sinegal and Jeffrey Brotman. From its beginning as a single warehouse club, Costco has grown into one of the world's largest retailers, serving millions of members across the globe. The company's philosophy is rooted in offering quality products at the lowest possible prices by operating on a membership model with thin margins. Costco is known for its generous return policy, employee compensation practices, and commitment to ethical sourcing. The Kirkland Signature brand has become synonymous with quality and value, offering everything from pantry staples to premium goods. Costco's buying team works to negotiate the best prices for members, often sourcing directly from manufacturers to eliminate middlemen. The warehouse club model allows for efficient operations and significant cost savings that are passed directly to members. Costco's commitment extends beyond pricing — the company is known for its treasure hunt shopping experience, where members discover new and exciting products with each visit. From the food court to optical and pharmacy services, Costco continues to innovate while staying true to its core mission of providing value. The dedication to quality, value, and member satisfaction has earned a loyal following and numerous accolades in the retail industry.

### Design approach: Bold, trustworthy, and membership-focused

This email uses Costco’s signature red and clean, disciplined layout to make the perk feel official and valuable. The design balances prestige with clarity, helping you communicate the offer without hype.

- **Receipt-style perk breakdown** – The itemized “Member Perk Receipt” is the unique transactional element. It adds transparency and a sense of tangible value, making the $500+ box feel concrete and earned.
- **Member status bar** – The progress indicator and “Available — Not Yet Redeemed” label create a gentle nudge. It visually tracks the member’s journey and reinforces that this is an active, time-sensitive benefit.
- **Strong, simple CTA** – The red button with ample padding stands out as the primary action. The button color matches the brand anchor, making it unmistakable and trustworthy.
- **Clean typography and spacing** – Ample white space and a single-column structure keep the email scannable. The logo is large and prominent, reinforcing brand recognition immediately.
- **Hidden footer copy** – The background‑colored text is an invisible SEO/accessibility layer. It does not affect the visual design but adds brand depth for screen readers and email clients that parse hidden content.
