We all know BFCM is coming up, but why wait until then to engage your subscribers? For those with customers in Australia, there are several upcoming holidays that offer great opportunities to connect. And the best part? These strategies can work for your marketing campaigns, no matter where your audience is based: 💐 Spring Sales In Australia, spring is in full bloom. Offer loyal shoppers early access to sales that encourage a fresh start. Emphasize the exclusivity of these offers and follow up with those who didn’t purchase—an extra incentive might just convert them. 🛍️ Riding the Click Frenzy wave Get ahead of the Click Frenzy buzz by sending out an SMS teaser the day before. Keep the momentum going with timely messages throughout the event. And for that final push, a last-call message in the evening can work wonders. Pro tip: segment your audience based on engagement, past purchases, or interests for a more personalized approach. 💅 Make the most of Single's Day Single’s Day (11/11) is a great opportunity to spotlight self-care and gift-giving. Think exclusive offers like 11% off or two-for-one specials. And if someone showed interest but didn’t follow through, send a personalized reminder to turn that interest into a sale. Whether your audience is in Australia, the U.S., or anywhere else, these strategies can help you make the most of the pre-BFCM period ✨
