One more way to sleigh the holiday

As a business owner, you know just how busy this time of year can be. Reduce some of that stress by preparing your emails ahead of time. Once you’ve created a subject line that works for you, consider using an email automation tool such as VerticalResponse’s Autoresponders and Email Series. This will allow you to set up your emails when it’s convenient for you, and then have them sent automatically at the right time. Creating an email series during the holidays keeps your business top-of-mind and builds anticipation for upcoming sales and events.

All it takes is a little preparation and creativity, and you’ll be sending holiday emails that stand out and help you achieve your seasonal marketing goals.
