💡IDEA: If it’s Christmas, you can use an email strategy which will be focus on discounts. For instance, you can take a range of 10-15 days and giving an offer for each day a different product. Say, the first day will be giving away shoes, second day dresses etc. In this way, you give a chance to your subscribers to share their email discounts with their friends on social media.

In addition, you can share a post such as “Dress like: X” or “Shop the looks” within your social media accounts. Story telling techniques are those that will bring you engagement and leads.
