The Big Questions About Black Friday Email Strategy

Here are the top questions business owners are asking about Thanksgiving and Black Friday emails this year along with my answers. I'm curious do you agree or should i be thinking about it differently?

Should I send a Thanksgiving email or skip straight to Black Friday?
Send it. A simple gratitude message builds connection before the promotions start.

When should my first Black Friday email go out?
Start the week before Thanksgiving with a warm-up message. Follow with a reminder on Thanksgiving evening or early Friday morning.

How many emails can I send during Cyber Week without losing subscribers?
Three to four works well when each one has a clear purpose: warm-up, announcement, highlight, and final reminder.
