AM Inbox: Shipping deadlines approaching
>>Retail Email Guide to Multichannel Engagement: Download this free 28-page report.
The Retail Email Blog monitors the email marketing campaigns of more than 100 top online retailers. Here are highlights from my inbox this morning:
Nike Store, 11/19 — Act Fast: Order Customized Gifts in Time for Holiday Delivery
While the end of guaranteed Christmas delivery with standard shipping is a little less than a month away for most retailers, there are a number of early shipping deadlines approaching. For instance, customized and monogrammed products often have earlier deadlines, as Nike promotes in this email. Oversized and heavy items also usually have earlier deadlines. Plus, this year Hanukkah started at sundown on Dec. 11 this year, so we’ll see some early deadlines for that too, as we’ve already seen from OfficeMax.
Costco, 11/19 — Create Your Ultimate Game Room and Preview Our Black Friday Offers!
Looking to build some buzz around their Black Friday deals, Costco promotes a preview of their offers in a preview pane banner. Overstock has included a similar banner in their emails recently.
HSN, 11/19 — Your Featured Products of the Week
Multichannel bars like the one in this HSN email are becoming increasingly common. Sometimes they’re combined with SWYN elements, as REI and others do. For more on multichannel tactics and strategies, check out the Retail Email Guide to Multichannel Engagement.

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.
