The holiday season is busy; we have a lot going on – your customers included!
So remember to keep messaging short and to the point.
Quick SMS reminders can be the ideal channel to reach
customers. SMS is easy to use, cost effective, produces high ROI and has extremely high open rates, with more than 95% of messages being opened. If done right SMS can be a powerful interaction and conversion tool.
It’s good to keep emails brief as well and include some engaging design aspects and a little humour where possible. You can always link to more detailed content where appropriate.

Today’s consumer is
MOBILE
Everyone is trying to be seen and heard, so it’s important to entice subscribers to open with catchy and unique
subject lines. 35% of email recipients open email based on the subject line alone.
Winning holiday email subject lines are festive, creative and to the point. Tell customers about a discount, new
collection or action item for urgency. Free shipping, discounts or cash back deals are often well received.
Keep customers informed with automated emails and SMS to notify of upcoming holiday dates, delivery cut off dates and parcel tracking. With so many other items on their agenda, they will really appreciate the attention to detail.
Do your research on cart abandoners to know what the best offers are to win them back. Continue to test CTA’s, subject lines, offers etc and tweak as you go, until you develop the winning formula. Create a festive spin on abandonment emails and pop ups, such as;
“Ho Ho Ho… where did you go?” or “Santa’s little helpers want to give you 10% off the items in your cart – MERRY CHRISTMAS!”

During the holiday season most people are already receiving a larger than normal amount to their inbox. The key here is to vary the different types of messaging you are sending: offers, reminders, thank you, promotional codes, additional opportunities to win etc.
Make sure there is variety. An email series that builds or tells a story with each new email is a great way to get attention and continue engagement.
