Hello, Arun here from Brand Tribe where we discuss about growth and smarter strategies for your email and paid marketing. I also welcome this week’s new subscribers who have joined our community of over 50,000+ founders and CEOs of DTC companies read our newsletter every week.
It is about time for the year's busiest sales season! Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the perfect opportunities to drive revenue, connect with customers, and grow your brand. To help you make the most of it, we’re sharing 5 tried-and-tested email ideas that can boost your sales and engagement this holiday season.
1. Countdown to the Big Sale ⏳
Build anticipation by sending a countdown email series leading up to Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Tease the discounts and exclusive deals your subscribers can look forward to, creating excitement and urgency!
Feel Good Contacts has set a timer and made an offer of 8% off on all items for their Black Friday newsletter.
2. Early Access for VIPs 🎉
Reward your most loyal subscribers with early access to sales! Send a VIP-exclusive email inviting them to shop before anyone else. It makes them feel valued and gives them a head start on popular items.
To begin their Black Friday festivities early and have access to discounts and exclusive offers before everyone else, TANIT Botanics extends an invitation to its devoted customers to sign up for its loyalty program.
3. Limited-Time Bundles & Deals 💸
Bundle complementary products together or offer irresistible “Buy One, Get One” deals. Craft an email highlighting the value customers get from these limited-time offers, making them perfect gift options.
Noting that certain items are 50% off piques readers' interest in what else is available and what is on sale, which encourages them to take action. This tactic works quite well for increasing sales.
4. Abandoned Cart Reminders 📩
Don’t let cart abandoners slip away! Send well-timed reminders and offer an extra incentive, like free shipping or a small discount, to encourage them to complete their purchase.
We can always retarget the abandoned carts with messages or reminders like these.
5. Post-Sale Follow-Up 📬
The sale isn’t over until the follow-up emails are sent! Share “Thank You” messages, exclusive post-sale offers, or recommend other products they may love. A warm and personalized follow-up builds loyalty and keeps customers coming back.
Post-purchase emails can include order confirmation, follow-up, post-purchase surveys, loyalty programs, product restocking, and so much more.
