AM Inbox: First Breast Cancer Awareness Month reference

RetailEmail.Blogspot monitors the email marketing campaigns of more than 100 of the top online retailers. Here are highlights from our inbox this morning:

Office Depot, 8/14 — Back to School Savings
Office Depot gives us our first Breast Cancer Awareness Month reference. Last year, the first reference came on Sept. 26 from Red Envelope (see Season Finale: Breast Cancer Awareness Month).



Urban Outfitters, 8/14 — Broadway & Houston: Take an additional 50% off!
Because they required my zip code during their sign-up process, Urban Outfitters was able to send me this store-focused email. Nearly 18% of major retailers require zip codes from subscribers, according to the 2007 Retail Email Subscription Benchmark Study. Another 7% request the subscriber’s zip code. This is a great way to drive subscribers to their local store.



Banana Republic, 8/14 — The Fall Collection has arrived
Banana tells subscribers in this email that they’ve introduced $6 flat rate shipping. It appears that Gap has adopted the same rate, and Old Navy already offers $5 flat rate shipping.
