Reportlet: E-Gift Card Promotions Popular during Christmas Crunch Time

In addition to overnight shipping, in-store pick-up and store promotions, the other lever that many retailers pulled in the final days before Christmas was promoting e-gift cards. During the five days before Christmas (Dec. 20-24), 25% of all the emails tracked via RetailEmail.Blogspot promoted e-gift cards. And of those emails, 41% mentioned e-gift cards in their subject lines. Of the 111 major online retailers tracked by RetailEmail.Blogspot, 32% of them mentioned e-gift cards in their emails at least once during that five-day period.

This 7-page reportlet reveals day-by-day stats, select e-gift card tactics, and order deadline and delivery time frame trends. It also includes several examples of creatives.

 I love Smith-Harmon's enthusiasm. It's so great to have a connection with people who really "get" and get excited by email marketing. (Truly, there are not that many of us out there!) I count myself very lucky to have found such accomplished enthusiasts to collaborate with on the REI program. They are helping to bring amazing opportunities to fruition with panache.
