Fire Up Labor Day Sales with These Stellar Email Marketing Tips
Shoppers expect Labor Day sales so it’s a prime time to celebrate the hard workers on your list while boosting eyes on your brand and making an impact. So how can you stand out and get the best results with our free email templates? Buckle up while we review these important tips for the best result.
Tip #1 Create a subject line that sizzles.
Have a little fun in the subject line by adding one or two emojis that celebrate and add whimsy. You want your readers to feel delight and expect something fun when they open. A little color and sparkle in the subject line can go a long way.
If you are highlighting a sale, clearly announce your discount with eye-catching details like a red siren, percentage signs and clearly indicating that a sale is taking place and they shouldn’t miss it.
A sizzling subject line produces interest by highlighting the offer or value proposition. Unique items, limited stock, quick sales, and other promotions show exactly why your email can’t be missed. Make sure the subject line conveys why your prospect should open.
Tip #2 Email body copy moves them along - make it pop!
You don’t necessarily have to incorporate all of the traditional Labor Day themes like BBQs and summer, but consider what message you will focus on for this email. Whether it’s sentimental, appeals to escapism and fantasy, or gives them an easy and fun way to entertain, consider your Labor Day messaging angle and go with it.
