PICTURE THIS

Hopefully you’ve all had a fruitful holiday season, but now more than ever you need to make sure you keep the momentum up and not get too comfortable in Q1.

LET’S USE OUR WEBINAR’S SIGN UP FORM
• This is the form you filled out.
• We could use any of these data points to market you.
• Based on audience size, it’s better to market to you in a programmatic way.
• What do I mean? – We’d treat our audience
differently if 1 million people registered vs. 50.

AT THE VERY LEAST, USE GENDER
As much as I love, the creative to these emails, I’m not female and would much prefer emails that are targeted to the male demographic. I’ve purchased men’s clothing before and they should know I prefer men’s clothing moving forward.

CLIENT EXAMPLE
Data Point: This particular client had state info on their customers. On the opening day of the World Series we targeted the state of Mass. and Miss. to promote their custom cookie bouquets. Subject Line: The World Series Starts Today. Get 10% off Fan Favorites. Average open rate: 2.6% points higher than most other campaigns.

CREATE A BIRTHDAY PROGRAM
If you are collecting birthday info, USE IT! We can EASILY create a birthday trigger for you that would be sent DAILY. These perform extremely well: • Transaction rates are 5x promo emails. • Daily birthday yield higher conversions. • Monthly yield higher open rates.

![Page 12: It's Time to Start Thinking Beyond the Holidays: Slides](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55d568a8bb61eb50658b45b4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT YOUR CLIENTS?
Make the sign up process easy. However, in your welcome email ask them to visit your preference center site to fill out their preferences to receive relevant information.
12
![Page 13: It's Time to Start Thinking Beyond the Holidays: Slides](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55d568a8bb61eb50658b45b4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CREATE IMPLIED PREFERENCES
Use click data to help identify their preferences. This is pretty much done by the recipient clicking on a link within the email. We can use this click data to imply their preference and send campaigns to that specific demographic.
13
![Page 14: It's Time to Start Thinking Beyond the Holidays: Slides](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55d568a8bb61eb50658b45b4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
WISHLIST PROGRAM
Use your wish list as a means to target. The customer has taken the time to fill out their wish list and has shown a level of interest in a product. You should be sending reminders about their wishlist after the holidays.
Subject Line could be: Didn’t get everything you wanted for Christmas? Super Subject Line: How about we help with 10% off your wish list today.

SURVEY YOUR CUSTOMERS TO SEE WHAT THEY’RE THINKING
Subject Line: Your Opinion Counts Use Survey Monkey or a third party service provider to send out a survey to your customers asking for valid feedback.

SYMBOLS IN SUBJECT LINES
• URL: http://fsymbols.com/all/#more • Just copy and paste directly in the subject line under the
template level
• Solid symbols tend to work best universally across all ISPs.

According to the Harvard Business School, increasing customer retention rates by 5 percent increases profits by 25 percent to 95 percent.
Let’s explore how you can best retain your customers.

CREATE LOYALTY PROGRAM
Create a Loyalty Program to keep customers close.
21
Get ideal customers to be VIPs. Studies show that people love being VIP or gold members of programs. There is one caveat, though. This only works when people know there is a class below them on the totem pole.

MARKET YOUR FOUNDATIONS
25
Stand for something. The quickest way to get customers to ignore you is to not stand for anything. A study by the Corporate Executive Board that included 7,000 consumers from across the U.S. found that of those consumers who said they had a strong relationship with a brand, 64 percent cited shared values as the primary reason. If you want loyal customers, you need them to care about you.

CLIENT RETENTION
• Mailed monthly credit card processing.
• If you have a monthly membership fee, you should send a reminder their credit card is about to expire and one when it does expire.

HOUSTON CHRONICLE - PREFERENCE CENTER
Problem: Sending to many breaking news alerts and giving too many options to opt out. Resolution: Create an opt down preference center to allow people to opt out of certain types of breaking news alerts.

![Page 28: It's Time to Start Thinking Beyond the Holidays: Slides](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55d568a8bb61eb50658b45b4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
OPT DOWN STRATEGY
Link them back to the preference center site when they click unsubscribe to allow them to opt down rather than fully opt out.

FREQUENCY CONTROL
Update your unsubscribe page to give the subscriber the option to opt down. This is a great strategy to follow after the major onslaught of holiday traffic.

NORDSTROM UNSUBSCRIBE
Love this one because it allows you to opt down and only receive “The Men’s Shop” emails.
