Here are 2 Email Messages to Send Your Customers and Prospects on St. Patrick’s Day
1. Thank You
If your goal is to foster customer loyalty, just say thank you. Don’t make it about sales. Don’t make it about a promotion. Thank your customers for their repeat business and trust and remind them of your commitment to them.
2. A St. Patrick’s Day Promotion
If your goal is to boost your sales or move one of your products/services, hold a promotion on March 17th. Ask them to use the coupon code “LUCK” to unlock their discount.
I know it sounds weird but that is EXACTLY the point. Be different, be memorable, get more clients, make more sales.
