Holidays, already?

There’s no better time than now to start thinking about how you’ll take advantage of the biggest spending season of the year.
Let’s make sure you get your piece of the holiday pie.
Join us for a free webinar, How to Have Your Best Holiday Season Ever, for more tips on holiday email marketing.

What are the key dates you should be planning for?

Aside from the typical events like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas, you’ll also want to take advantage of shopping and giving days like:
  • Black Friday, November 24, 2017
  • Small Business Saturday, November 25, 2017
  • Cyber Monday, November 27, 2017
  • Giving Tuesday, November 28, 2017

Choose the days that make the most sense for your business.

Black Friday: The day after Thanksgiving represents the start of the holiday shopping season and the perfect time to entice eager shoppers to spend their money with you.
Small Business Saturday: Created by American Express, Small Business Saturday is “an annual tradition dedicated to supporting small businesses and celebrating communities across the country.” Not a bad idea to take advantage of this day that promotes people shopping at small businesses. If we had our way, every day would be a small business shopping day.
Cyber Monday: The Monday following Thanksgiving promoted as a day to encourage consumers to shop online. If you have an online store, don’t miss your chance to participate with a great online offer.
Giving Tuesday: For you nonprofits out there, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season for end-of-year giving. It’s another reason to encourage your community to give.

What emails should I plan to send?

Whether you’re taking advantage of one or many of the retail holidays, use our holiday email templates to create your emails quickly and easily. And we recommend you try a three-email series to create benchmarks around your offer.
  1. An announcement (send two weeks from offer date)
  2. A reminder (send one week from offer date)
  3. A last chance (send a day or two from offer date)
Here’s what that’ll look like on your marketing calendar:
Black Friday Calendar
The above example uses the three-email series for a Black Friday offer. Try out Constant Contact’s Marketing Calendar to plan for your holiday email marketing.

Why should I use the three-email series?

Even if your customers want to take advantage of the email offer you send them, they can get pulled into something else before they can take action. And then your offer is forgotten. The three-email series gives you multiple opportunities to spur your audience to action.

Start your holiday email planning now.

People are going to be spending money this holiday season. Shouldn’t they be spending their money with you? Get a headstart to have your best holiday season yet.
