Have
you noticed that stores are reminding you to have a merry Christmas
a little sooner every year? It seems just as I'm preparing to get
the Halloween candy out for trick-or-treaters, I am quite commercially
reminded that "the holiday season" is upon us. Christmas
lights start appearing, shopping windows are redecorated for the
holidays
and websites start dawning their own Christmas décor
and reminding us to deck their halls with our credit cards. And
among the visions of sugar plum fairies dancing in your head are
probably concerns about what "the holiday season" will
mean for your company, especially in this economy.
According
to Jupiter Research, in 2001, online retailers' sales during November
and December accounted for 36 percent of their entire year's take.
And we all know that the US economy is still conservative and consumer
confidence is down. So how merry of a Christmas can our profit margins
show? However, there is a light at the top of the Christmas tree.
According to eMarketer, Q4 Online Retail sales are expected to rise
about 16% higher than last year's $11.1 million. So
how can your email campaigns help you get a piece of the proverbial
pie? Here are a few tips and tricks on how to best use your email
marketing to garner higher results.
