Wait. It’s not holiday season yet! It was almost 90 degrees in Durham, NC last week. However, while it is not time to start shopping for the holidays as a consumer, it is definitely time to start planning if you are an email marketer.
In this month’s edition of BrontoFire, Account Manager Julie Waite joins me in dissecting several holiday messages from last year. We evaluate from Crutchfield, eBags, HP Shopping, and Nascar – all who entice consumers with unique methods.

- Create a sense of urgency
- Consider time based/series campaign
- Provide gift ideas and choice
- Think gift cards
