Build Subscriber Categories
Customers have different preferences and have signed up to your email list for different reasons. They are looking for content that speaks specifically to them, and you can use email marketing to your advantage to give them what they want.
Consider categorizing customers in your email list so you send out targeted content. Marketers already agree that targeted customization increases engagement. Sending relevant but targeted emails is an effective method to grab your subscribers’ attention during the holiday season.
Make Exclusive Offers
What else would consumers be expecting from a holiday season marketing campaigns if not a special promotion. Make your customers feel special and offer them a way to participate in exclusive promotions. With all the holiday spending, consumers would love campaigns that help them save money.

At the same time, you need to create themes and elements that align with your usual branding style. Whether you use email templates or design your own, you can highlight your brand image in your tone, language, and voice. Even when you change colours and imagery, users still recognize your brand.
If you are looking to get more sales this holiday season, consider leveraging email marketing techniques to raise interest. There are a lot of ways to grab the attention of your customers and encourage them to interact with your brand.
