Unlock May’s Marketing Potential with Bank Holiday Boosts
As we head into May, many will be anticipating the two bank holidays we have coming up. These extended weekends offer the opportunity to grab your consumer’s attention on their extra days off with spring sales or announcing new season collections.
Communicate with your customers across all marketing channels and highlight relevant products for your target audience. Promoting cleaning supplies for the annual tradition of spring cleaning or garden and outdoor furniture to help kick off the summer festivities for example.
Email Automations – Emails That Work While You Sleep.
Email automations allow you to send relevant emails to the right people at the right time. Thanks to pre-configured workflows they send a sequence of emails over a specified period, triggered from when a customer does an action on your site. This could be signing up for a form, abandoning their cart, or almost any other action taken on your site. Simply set them up, put them live and sit back while they send away in the background.
Why else should you set up automations?
Save time
- Set it up once and let it run, there’s no need to do the same tasks for every individual subscriber.
Increase customer retention
- Keep in touch with customers over a period of time with ease with multiple email automation. You can also reach out again to subscribers who haven’t opened your emails or bought from you in a while with specific automation types.
Build relationships with customers
- Your automations can send emails to as many subscribers as you want, at any time you prefer. Allowing you to keep customers engaged and personalise content to them!
