How to Use These Templates

Customize these for each seasonal event: Black Friday, holiday season, Valentine's Day, summer sale, back-to-school, etc. The structure stays the same but the copy, products, and offers change.

The teaser email is the most underused but one of the most impactful. It primes your audience to buy on day one. People who engage with teasers convert at 2-3x the rate of those who only see the launch email.

Schedule everything in advance with Sequenzy's campaign tools so you're not scrambling the day before a sale goes live.
