Disney Store, 11/17 — Celebrate and Save Up to 40% on Holiday Decor + Deal of the Day
Staying relevant is extra critical during the holiday season. Every message and submessage matters. In this email, Disney includes a preview pane banner that promotes their Deal of the Day. The deal itself is rendered in HTML text so it shows up when images are blocked; plus it’s highlighted in the preheader text. However, subscribers who opened this email today rather than yesterday—and most probably did—saw an expired deal. While this might engender more urgency to open the next email so as not to miss the deal of the day, another tactic would be to use a single image for the preview pane banner, to use the same image source file for it in every email, and then update that image file every night with the current deal of the day. That way, regardless of when a subscriber opens the email, they’re seeing the current deal. That image could link to a designated landing page for all the deals of the day or to a URL that redirects folks to the right page. You trade off some rendering by using this tactic, but you’re increasing the relevance of the deals for roughly half your subscribers in most cases. It’s worth testing for sure.
