Holiday Expert Tips

Use these proven email marketing tips and resources to generate more revenue this holiday season.

Address shipping concerns

Address concerns upfront

While shipping always ranks as a top concern for shoppers, inflation is creating new anxieties this year. Use banners and footers to address issues. Think about callouts that answer typical shipping questions, highlight discounts or flexible payment options for the budget-conscious shoppers, and talk to holiday-specific concerns like store hours.

Keep the message simple

Keep it simple

Simple messages are proven to perform best. Keep your holiday messages focused on a primary goal, like a promotion or product. Once you design a great-looking message, build more by making simple variations to the original—like adding a last-chance banner.

Add some holiday excitement

Add some holiday excitement

Use a simple animated GIF to bring holiday magic to your messages. Build enthusiasm around the holiday season by talking about gift-giving, stocking stuffers, and even shopping for yourself.

Inspire your subscribers

Inspire your subscribers
