Showing your products as part of a gift guide can be an effective way of promoting your products, it’s a more subtle way of selling and doing this through your emails in the run up to Christmas, is much more subtle than emailing trying to hard sell right before Christmas.  

The Gift Card Email 

For customers unsure of what to buy their loved ones for Christmas, gift cards are always a good idea, which is why it’s always a good idea for your ecommerce store to offer gift cards or vouchers, especially in the run up to Christmas.

The Delivery Cut Off Email

If you’re looking to create a sense of urgency around your Christmas sales then it’s not a bad idea to send out a ‘delivery cut off’ email that tells your customers exactly when your last shipping date is as well as the last post date for a few of the more popular and widely used courier services. Not only can this make show you care that your customers don’t miss out but also can encourage your customers to make a purchase before the cut off date.  

The Christmas Day Email
