Holiday email templates

The holiday shopping season has always been huge for both eCommerce and brick and mortar retailers. According to Statista, the five-day period from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, also known as Cyber 5, saw an estimated sales revenue of 28.5 billion U.S. dollars during the 2019 holiday season. For most small and mid-size retailers, the holiday season actually accounts for anywhere from 20 to 30% of their total yearly sales. The holiday season, however, isn’t just for B2C – with the right holiday email marketing strategy, B2B businesses can also capitalize on it, drive leads, boost customer engagement, and increase sales.
