The holiday season has officially begun!…

There, we’ve called it. Honestly, our long‑time readers know we believe holiday prep is a year‑round endeavor. However, holiday planning crunchtime is absolutely here. Make sure you make the most of your time between now and Nov. 1 to run pre‑holiday tests to learn what your audience is likely to respond to, fine‑tune your holiday subject line strategy, and review your holiday insights from 2023. While it’s great to knock out as many holiday campaigns as you can now, don’t lock anything down completely. Stay flexible and be prepared to tweak campaign messaging based on audience engagement.
