1. Add some Christmas flair to your email
Spread some Christmas feels to your recipients with a jolly design. You don’t have to be a top designer to “Christmasify” your email. There are dozens of email templates to pick from in eMarketeer. Just pick your favorite, add a greeting and perhaps a photo and your contacts are sure to get that warm, fuzzy feeling Christmas is all about.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/4″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”15073″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/4″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
2. “Elf yourself”
The thing with holiday greetings is that a lot of companies will do a Christmas email sendout, which makes it a challenge to stand out from the crowd. The best way to do so is, simply put, be personal. Show off who you are and let the recipients get to know you. If you have time to record a video greeting, great! But a fun photo is appreciated as well. With eMarketeer’s built-in photo editor PicMonkey, you can easily “decorate” your team mates with Christmas hats, holiday stickers and frames. Done in just a couple of minutes!
To “Christmasify” your photo with PicMonkey:
- Make sure you have the plugin activated. If it’s not, go to eMarketeer settings
-> Plugins and integrations -> Find PicMonkey in the list and activate it. - In the email editor, add the photo you want to “decorate” to your email.
- Click on the button for PicMonkey.
- In the menu on the left-hand side, choose the icon for themes. It looks like a snowflake.
- Click on “Santaland”
- Add hats, cherry noses, red cheeks, holiday stickers – whatever you wish!
- Once you’re happy with it, just click export and the masterpiece is added to your email.

3. Give your content a second chance
What’s nice with a holiday email is that you could keep it this simple; with a good design and a personal greeting. But it’s also a great time to give your content a second shot. Pick out the top piece of content you had this year; a video, a blog post, etc, and let the recipients that missed it the first time around enjoy it now.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]See! Just a few minutes and you have a Christmas greeting that your recipients definitely appreciate. Now, show me! How did your Christmas greeting turn out? Let me know in the comments.
Now all that’s left for me to say is Happy Holidays from the whole eMarketeer team. Looking forward to an exciting 2020 with you![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
