AMP and Apps – 1
The IndiaVotes YouPredict game for predicting India’s Lok Sabha results leveraging the “wisdom of crowds” convinced me about two things: one, the power of AMP, and two, the opportunity with email apps. The game had no website or mobile app; it was played entirely in the email inbox. In that respect, it was probably a global first – and a harbinger of things to come. It followed QuizMails (see QShots). As I thought more about what emails apps could do, I decided that I needed a name to describe this new category to distinguish it from simpler use cases of AMP (which I have previously called AMPlets). Email Apps – Epps, for short – can be a gamechanger in driving email engagement because the entire action can be contained inside the inbox without the need for a clickthrough to a landing page or mobile app and change of context. Also, Epps can be updated each time they are opened – as with YouPredict, where the latest results refreshed each time the email was opened. In this essay, I will go deeper into Epps and why they are not just the future of email but also the future of engagement, conversion and retention (EnCoRe).
I will begin by referencing some of my previous discussion about email, AMP, and its future. In these writings, I used the term “email apps” to generically refer to AMP in email. It is only recently that I started thinking of email apps as much more complex versions of AMP implementations.
Email 2.0: Making Email Cool Again: “AMP is a technology introduced by Google for making emails interactive. It enables the creation of microsites in emails. Think of AMP as enabling email apps. AMP is a big leap forward. It eliminates a click to the website or app for a wide range of use cases: filling a form, gathering feedback, scheduling appointments, showing live content, creating interactive games and collecting zero-party data. AMP makes email a two-way channel.”
Building the Hotline Right: “Let’s consider the possibilities of an idea I call “All in Email” – search, browse, chat, cart, rate, review – many of the verbs we associate with actions on websites or apps can now be done in emails. Instead of a customer going to the brand property (website or app), what if the property came to the customer?!.. AMP creates what I think of as the “Living Email.””
AMP’s Magic: Coming Soon to Your Email Inbox: “Email 1.0 has had an amazing run; Email 2.0 with the power of AMP promises to make it even better. This is great news for marketers struggling with rising customer acquisition cost (CAC). AMP can help marketers build hotlines to propel a path to profitability (P2P).”
The Coming of Inbox Commerce: “For long, it has been assumed that brands must bring their buyers to their websites and apps for completing transactions. This has been a point of friction since unidirectional push messages (like emails and SMSes) had to persuade consumers to click and change context to the brand properties. Now, the interactivity that is coming in the push channels can ensure that commerce can be done right inside the inbox.”
Email Shops can Transform eCommerce: “The transformative solution in eCommerce is to think of websites and apps inside emails – where the entire journey from search and browse to purchase can be completed right inside the inbox. AMP makes this possible. These “email shops” are the next storefronts – and one which marketers can control because they can “push” these messages to their customers rather than relying on them to remember to visit their properties.”

Email 2.0: The Rise of the New Super App: “Even as the young use other apps for their 1:1 and group messaging needs and brands flirt with those apps because that is where consumer attention is, a revitalised email can bring back interest and excitement. Email’s open architecture is what has kept it going and will enable its continuing success. Email is identity – the one permanence in a world of transitions and upgrades. While there could be competing options for personal messaging, I believe that email in its 2.0 avatar will continue to be the first choice for marketers seeking deeper connections, higher engagement, and faster conversions.”
Solving the Email Open Problem: “While email remains the most effective channel for driving commerce in the US and other developed markets, other channels like push notifications and WhatsApp are providing very competitive alternatives. Email could become even more powerful if the problem of getting customers to open emails can be solved. But email has seen very little innovation in the past 15-odd years, and even the ESPs (email service providers) are in a “keep the lights on” mode – many having been acquired by CPaaS companies whose focus tends to be more on SMS and voice…Email’s openness, cost, and capabilities make it a very compelling engagement channel. But the declining open and click rates through the years have reduced its efficacy. If the “attention recession” in email can be reduced, it could provide a big boost to brand profitability. There are multiple challenges to be tackled with email – how to get the first open from customers, how to get the second and third opens, how to make opening emails a habit thus giving brands a hotline to their customers, and finally, how to fast-track conversion…The combination of Atomic Rewards, AMP and AI can transform emails – and with it dramatically cut AdWaste, reduce friction, and improve brand profitability.”
Email 2.0: The Magic Bullet for the Profipoly Quest: “The vision for Email 2.0 extends beyond mere communication; it aims to be a comprehensive platform for brand engagement, conversion, and customer retention, offering a cost-effective alternative to messaging apps like WhatsApp, which, despite their effectiveness, come with a higher cost barrier for mass marketing. Email 2.0 represents a promising avenue for reinvigorating email marketing by blending the efficiency of instant messaging with the affordability of traditional email, setting the stage for a new era in digital marketing. Email 2.0 can transform the EnCoRe (Engagement, Conversion, Retention) funnel, making it an important foundation for the Profipoly journey.”
Email 2.0: The Magic Bullet for the Profipoly Quest: “There is a pressing need for a channel that can help marketers build deeper relationships with their existing customers. In the absence of such a channel, marketing spending will continue to rise. Brands may continue to grow but at the expense of profitability…This is where Email 2.0 comes in. Built on Google’s AMP technology, it brings interactivity to emails and can enable in-channel engagement and conversion. But Email 2.0 is much more than just the elimination of a click to a landing page. Email 2.0 is about recapturing attention in the inbox, making email a habit, and potentially providing paths to additional revenues for brands.”

Emagining E3 Ecosystem: Every Email Engaged: “Email 1.0 (E1) as the HTML email we get today in our inboxes. Email 2.0 (E2) is email upgraded with interactivity (with AMP) in the body of the email – it is a theme I have discussed a lot in the past couple years. [See the Email 2.0 section in my marketing essays.] Think of Email 3.0 (E3) as the content wrapper around E1 or E2 emails. While E2 can drive more actions after the email is opened, E3 can solve the problem of email opens – and also transform email’s pricing model, turning it from a cost centre to a revenue generator.”
The 7 Levers for Email’s Exponential Expansion: “The email ID remains one of the two public identities we have; the second being the mobile number. Doing anything on the mobile means either having one’s own app (for, say, push notifications), or relying on telco-controlled channels (SMS and RCS), or a private entity’s platform (like WhatsApp). There is no open communications channel like email. It is not going away. What is needed is innovation to make it better…AMP revolutionises Email 2.0 by introducing app-like functionalities directly within emails, leading to significant increases in user engagement and in-channel conversions. This technology allows users to perform actions within their inbox, eliminating the need for redirecting to external landing pages. In practice, this has resulted in a 5-15X increase in user actions in campaigns run by Netcore, showcasing the potential to transform email interaction and commerce.”
WINdia: Multiplying India’s Email Market Opportunity: “To transform India’s email marketing landscape and drive 10X growth in the opportunity, three key “unlocks” are essential as part of Mission WINdia: (1) A B2C “Killer App”: Developing a highly engaging, personalised, and utility-driven email-based application that becomes a daily habit for Indian consumers, much like the ubiquity of WhatsApp. This could take the form of a comprehensive knowledge and learning platform, a gamified daily content experience, or an intuitive personal assistant that seamlessly integrates with users’ lives. (2) The “E3 Wrapper”: Implementing the innovative “E3” email packaging that incorporates features like Atomic Rewards, AMPlets, and AI-powered personalisation. This would create a must-open, high-engagement email experience that drives increased open rates, data collection, and in-email actions for brands. (3) Monetisation and Incentive Alignment: Establishing a robust monetisation model that taps into the substantial “AdWaste” in India’s marketing budgets. By creating a new email-based media network that subsidises email delivery costs and shares revenue with brands, this unlock can align the economic incentives across the email ecosystem, making email marketing a rewarding and sustainable channel…These three key solutions – the B2C killer app, the E3 email wrapper, and the monetisation model – can together create a powerful flywheel effect to drive exponential growth in email marketing within India.”
Email, CPaaS, and Martech: New Profit Pools: Half of the spend on digital advertising is being wasted on account of wrong acquisition and reacquisition. Ads in emails can mitigate this waste and address other limitations of online ads with its 4 Ps: PII, Push, in-Place, and Payments. “Action Ads” in emails eliminate the friction of clicking through to a landing page. By solving the email open problem with innovative formats like E3, email companies can tap into the $250 billion AdWaste by enabling targeted acquisition and reactivation. Integrating new ad formats (eg. one-tap subscription to 7-day brand quiz microns) can create value for advertisers, relevance for publishers, and rewards for consumers, aligning economic incentives across the email ecosystem. [In addition], the era of inbox commerce is coming. Search, shopping carts, recommendations, and payments can all be conducted within the email, transforming it into a platform for direct transactions and purchases. These shoppable can be monetised based on outcomes rather than traditional CPM models.”

My previous writings highlighted the transformative potential of AMP technology in emails. These AMPlets (simple use cases) and Email Apps (Epps, which are more complex creations), enable interactive elements like forms, games, and live content within emails, turning them into two-way communication channels. Epps can revolutionise email engagement by containing all interactions within the inbox, eliminating the need for clickthroughs to external pages, and dynamically updating with each open. This seamless experience enhances user engagement and conversion rates, making email a vital channel for deeper customer relationships and improved brand profitability. Let’s see how to bring Epps to life and make the email inbox come alive.
4
Characteristics
Let’s begin by listing out the characteristics of Epps.
- They use AMP in Email
- They are multi-screen implementations
- They interact with a backend database
- They update each time the email is opened
- They are self-contained – there is no need to visit a website or app
- And the big one: Epps have no companion website or app! They live completely within the email inbox.
Epps use AMP in Email. Epps leverage AMP within emails to create interactive and dynamic experiences, transforming static emails into engaging, app-like interfaces directly within the inbox.
They are multi-screen implementations. Unlike traditional single-screen AMPlets, Epps are designed to handle complex, multi-step processes across multiple screens within a single email. This allows users to navigate through various sections, forms, or content areas seamlessly, mimicking the experience of using a mobile app or website. For example, a bank can use an Epp to guide existing customers through the process of purchasing a fixed deposit, with each step – from choosing the deposit term to entering personal information and confirming the purchase via OTP – happening within the email itself.
They interact with a backend database. Epps connect to backend databases to fetch and submit data in real-time. This interaction ensures that the information displayed in the email is current and relevant, enabling functionalities such as personalised content, real-time updates, and data submissions without leaving the inbox. For example, an Epp could provide a live personal portfolio of stocks, displaying up-to-date financial information and performance metrics, all dynamically updated each time the email is opened, with additional details fetched on demand.
They update each time the email is opened. One of the key features of Epps is their ability to update dynamically each time the email is opened. This means that users always see the most recent information or status, making Epps particularly useful for applications requiring real-time data, such as live polls, event updates, or inventory levels.
They are self-contained – there is no need to visit a website or app. Epps are fully functional within the email itself, eliminating the need for users to click through to external websites or mobile apps. This self-contained nature enhances user convenience and reduces friction, as all necessary actions can be completed within the email.
And the big one: Epps have no companion website or app! They live completely within the email inbox. This unique characteristic distinguishes Epps from traditional digital experiences, positioning them as a standalone solution for engagement, interaction, and transaction directly within the email environment.
By embodying these characteristics, Epps represent a significant evolution in email technology, offering a more integrated, interactive, and user-friendly experience that can potentially replace traditional websites and mobile apps for certain use cases.
Think of Epps as the third major property for brands, alongside websites and mobile apps. Each has its unique strengths and can operate independently. In the evolution from websites to mobile apps, many businesses reduced their websites to mere placeholders, primarily to drive app downloads. I foresee a similar trend with Epps – websites may primarily serve to capture subscriptions and showcase the Epp, with the Epp itself becoming the primary platform for user engagement and interaction.

Examples
As an Epp pioneer, this is the QShots website:

Here is the Epp itself, as seen through its multiple screens in the Gmail inbox.

This was the IndiaVotes YouPredict microsite (just before the Lok Sabha game ended with the close of voting).

Here are some screens from YouPredict Epp (once again from the Gmail inbox).

Epps can be applied across a wide range of domains: from news and sports to stocks and games, from e-commerce to banking. The power of push, the familiarity of the inbox, and the interactivity of Epps create a compelling platform for capturing attention, driving engagement, and facilitating actions – exactly what brands need to maximise conversions.

- User adoption: Some users may be hesitant to engage with interactive elements within emails due to security concerns or a preference for more traditional email experiences.
