How email marketing boosts Valentine's and seasonal promotions
Added: 10 February 2025
Valentines Day (and every seasonal moment like it) is a golden opportunity to connect with your audience. Whether youre running a service-based business in Devon or selling products online, email lets you deliver relevant, time-sensitive messages directly to the people most likely to take action.
Here’s how to make it count.
Build anticipation early
Start teasing your Valentine’s offer at least a week in advance. Use subject lines that spark curiosity or urgency like:
“A little something for someone special…”
“Coming soon: our Valentine’s treat for you”
Use segmentation to personalise
Don’t send the same email to everyone. Segment your list by previous behaviour, location, or interest.
A targeted offer always performs better than a general one.
Tip: Repeat customers might appreciate a loyalty bonus. New subscribers could be more offer-driven.
Include a clear seasonal offer
Whether it’s a discount, bonus gift, or limited-time service, your campaign should have one clear message and one strong CTA.
Avoid clutter. Think:
“Book your Valentine’s meal now”
“15% off until 14th Feb”
Follow up with reminders
One email isn’t enough. Use a short sequence:
- Teaser
- Main offer
- Last chance reminder
- Thank you or post-event follow-up
This structure keeps engagement high and drives more conversions.
Track performance and apply it year-round
What worked for Valentine’s can work for Easter, summer, or Black Friday.
Keep your email stats, subject lines, and top-performing segments ready to use again.
