  1. Return to Education

 

Parents and kids alike dread back-to-school season for many reasons. For children, it signifies the end of summer, which means that lazy days by the pool and stargazing nights are coming to an end.

 

It’s time for parents to deal with the overwhelming back-to-school shopping list.

 

Assist your clients during this crucial buying period to soothe their anxieties. August is when you can start sending out emails for back-to-school. Heck, start in July if you want to go ahead of your rivals. You can do this at any point following the Independence Day holiday.

 

  1. Fall Entries

 

For many of us, it’s officially fall, which means it’s time to pack up our shorts and flip-flops and gratefully bring out the sweaters and long pants. That necessitates a clothing makeover.

 

The fall is also a fantastic time to get deals on backpacks, computers, laptops, shoes, and the newest technology. One of the greatest times of the year to buy a new car, SUV, or recreational vehicle is in the fall.

 

As they say summer farewell, entice your audience with what’s coming up next by revealing your fall arrivals. You can send out this email in late July or early August, far into summer, and again just before your new line goes live.

 

  1. Autumn Offers

 

Giving your audience a bone, like clothing company J. Crew did in this deal by offering 30% off their purchase, doesn’t require you to have anything fresh planned.

 

In addition, there is already a fall sale going on; all customers need to do is enter a code. Members of the card can save 40%, an extremely alluring deal.

 

Your audience has an excuse to purchase thanks to fall sales, so you should send them a couple drip emails to remind them of the sale so they don’t miss it.

 

  1. Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Columbus Day

 

While some still refer to it as Indigenous Peoples’ Day, others still call it Columbus Day. That Monday in October is closed for banks, the post office, and government offices, so if someone has the day off, it’s good enough to celebrate with a sale.

 

Given that this is the most delicate festival of the fall, you should advertise your discount, but do it with respect for the people it honors.

 

  1. Season of Sports

 

Although September is when football season begins (technically, preseason starts in late August if we’re picking at straws), most marketers equate football with February. To join in on the fun, you don’t need to sell any sports-related goods or have any knowledge of football.

 

Take this email from retailer Garrett Wade, for instance. Sporting goods are not sold by the company; instead, it specializes in home, kitchen, outdoor, and garden products. But their straightforward email with the phrase “Game Time” and a football is one that sticks in your memory.

 

Garrett Wade’s sense of humor is what makes this email so fantastic. By clicking, you may see what percentage you’ll get off and reveal your offer.

 

This offer comes with another one, a warehouse sale with 50% off. Offering two deals is the only method to get your readers to click through your emails more than one.

 

  1. Autumnal Outside Time

 

Fall is the best season to be outside. The days are sunny, the weather is cool, and the occasional warm but not oppressive temperature is experienced. Send emails to your clients highlighting the outdoor experiences that will inspire them to take on greater adventure.

 

These emails come naturally to a company like REI, which sells outdoor clothing. You can submit advice for healthy outdoor activities even if you’re not an expert in outdoor gear.

 

  1. The Hallow

 

Don’t pass on the many spooktacular opportunities Halloween offers for your email marketing campaign—it’s undoubtedly the greatest fall holiday. This is a fantastic autumn newsletter email concept for your campaigns with a Halloween theme:

 

This email from Postcards.com, for example, is excellent. The popular Halloween phrase is “trick or treat,” which children yell in order to receive candy. Postcard’s email contains the phrase, “No tricks, just treats.”

 

The copy’s use of alternate hues and eerie images set against a basic black backdrop is effective without being overdone. Postcards.com’s integration of a deal where you can click a treat to find out how much you save is even better.

 

How joyfully merry!

 

  1. The holiday

 

For a short while, Thanksgiving served as a sneak peek into Black Friday’s sales the night before. Thanksgiving was then bled into the extended weekend of shopping. That was met with resistance from the public, so don’t send a sales email on Thanksgiving. It’s not tasteful.

 

Rather, now is a great moment to cultivate thankfulness.

 

High-end clothing company Kate Spade nails the thanks card with this email. The opening few sentences of the message, which discuss how Thanksgiving is a day to relax and enjoy, make it very evident that this is not a sales email.

 

Using phrases like “your friends at Kate Spade” emphasizes the message’s cozy tone.

 

Black Friday, 9.

 

Every business eagerly anticipates Black Friday!

 

The company that makes beach towels and beach bags let customers sample the products that will be on sale and disclosed the exact day and time of its Black Friday sale.

 

Try sending an email similar to this one a week or so before Black Friday, or even before Thanksgiving. Do not send out sales emails on Thanksgiving, though. That’s a different story after midnight!

 

Who said that after Thanksgiving, Black Friday had to conclude at midnight? Many companies, like National Geographic did with this email, continue to make sales throughout the weekend.

 

Since many people still shop in stores on Fridays, extending Black Friday allows customers to take advantage of offers on Saturday or Sunday.

 

Cyber Monday, 10.

 

Cyber Monday has become a part of the Black Friday shopping tradition. It’s time to reveal a fresh batch of offers that you may start taking advantage of late this weekend to extend the shopping season into the beginning of next week.

 

The eye-catching image in this email from shop London Bridge mentioned a great offer and savings on “everything.” It’s difficult to resist it.

 

If you’d like, you can even combine Cyber Monday and Black Friday sales.

 

AUTUMN EMAIL NEWSLETTER ADVICE AND TOP TECHNIQUES

 

It’s time to use these suggestions for your autumn email marketing efforts after seeing some fantastic newsletter ideas.

 

Divide up your audience.

 

  1. Create intriguing subject lines for emails.

 

  1. In your communications, use vibrant fall colors.

 

  1. Get the word out about your seasonal sales early.

 

  1. Show admiration and thankfulness

 

  1. Divide up your viewership

 

Email savvy is something that never goes out of style. To make sure you reach the clients who are interested in your goods and services, you must constantly segment your audience.

 

Sending emails to prospective students is a perfect illustration of the value of audience segmentation. These emails will be helpful to your clients who have school-age children, but those who don’t or who have toddlers who aren’t yet in school will question why they are receiving them.

 

Sending irrelevant information to certain audience segments may result in unsubscribe requests and spam complaints.

 

Compose original subject lines.

 

The theming of a fall email newsletter will draw attention, but eerie ghosts and midnight black cats won’t guarantee a high open rate for your campaign. You also need to write a compelling subject line.

 

The autumnal subject line “[Company name] color for fall” has a 53.1% open rate and a 4% click-through rate, according to Omnisend.

 

Thanks to Omnisend, here are some fantastic fall email subject lines together with the corresponding open and click-through rates:

 

Returning for the fall is [Company name] (open rate of 50.2%, click-through rate of 5.1%).

 

FALL FREEBIE: 18.5% click-through rate, 41.5% open rate

 

The [Name of Company] Fall Sale (open rate of 39.2%, click-through rate of 23.7%)

 

36% of readers viewed the new post, “How to Wear Long Coat This Fall,” and 2.7% clicked through.

 

Instead of copying these subject lines word for word, you should modify them so that they still reflect the original samples while fitting your company’s branding and messaging. This will guarantee that your emails don’t have the same subject line as those of your rivals, which would be uncomfortable, but you can still anticipate a high open and click-through rate.

 

Using emojis in your subject lines is appropriate this season. With everything from falling leaves to Jack-O-Lanterns, eerie ghosts, scarves, witches, and turkeys, a few strategically placed emojis could make the difference between everyone opening or disregarding your email.

 

Make your emails pop with autumnal colors!

 

While tone and logo are important components of branding, color need not be used year-round. Incorporate striking golds, flaming oranges, deep reds, and warm yellows to capture the vibrancy and richness of fall.

 

Spooky colors like neon orange, brilliant purple, gloomy gray, and electric green can also be used.

 

The following advice can help you include color into your email marketing campaign:

 

  1. Don’t use more than three colors at a time.

 

  1. To make your CTA buttons stand out, choose contrasting colors.

 

  1. Before sending, check that your emails can be read.

 

  1. Only use visuals or logos instead of colorful text.

 

Get the seasonal sales buzz going early.

 

Customers anticipate bargains from you on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so it’s acceptable to announce them ahead of time so that everyone is aware of what to expect. Unexpected fall bargains that will surprise your clients should also be announced.

 

Creating a buzz about your emails, particularly on social media, starts the excitement early and ensures that by the time it reaches the station, it will be highly anticipated.

 

Exercise appreciation and thankfulness.

 

To restate, the main message of any email you send on Thanksgiving Day should be your appreciation for your clients. You don’t have to be picky; you may send out another thank-you email at Christmas or at the end of the year. Please send both, please.

 

Consumers like to feel valued, therefore the more frequently you can give them that impression, the more likely it is that they will check your emails.
