30+ Christmas email subject lines

Christmas is not just about spending time with your friends and family. It’s a good time to make more money as a business and get people to visit your store or website by offering special discounts, and email marketing is a great way to let people know about these deals.

Sending an email on Christmas is also a good way to build a connection with your subscribers, which helps build a successful brand, and it all begins with a good email subject line.

Importance of the subject line in your Christmas email

The subject line of an email is the first thing your subscriber sees, and this alone can decide whether your email will be opened. You can have the most beautifully designed email and great offers inside, but if your subject line is not compelling, your email is likely to remain unopened.

• A compelling subject line can increase your open rates.
• A holiday-specific subject line can create urgency and excitement.

With these in mind, let’s look into some email subject lines that you can use in your upcoming emails for this Christmas.

Tips for Christmas emails

Here are some practical tips that you should follow as a marketer this year when creating your emails.

1. Personalise your email:  It’s an old tip, but it always works. Try to begin the email with the subscriber’s name and, if possible, add the same to your subject line as well. Apart from this, try to tailor the content inside based on their profile, past purchases and any other relevant data.
2. Include a clear call-to-action (CTA):  Every email needs a purpose, whether it’s to check out your Christmas sale or share a holiday greeting. Make sure your CTA is visible, actionable, and related to the main message of the email.
3. Keep it simple:  While your email should have a festive feel, avoid overwhelming your subscribers with too much information. Less is more. Prioritise your main message and keep the layout easy to navigate.
4. Proofread your email:  Proofreading is vital, especially during the holiday season when all hands are on deck. Make sure your content is free of grammatical errors, broken links, and incorrect details about offers or gifts.
5. Test your email:  Before hitting the send button, always test your email. Send it to yourself, or a colleague, to see how it appears on different devices and whether all things are working correctly.
6. Add personality:  Adding personality to your Christmas email is a great way to connect with your audience on a more individual level. This acts as a way to build long-lasting connection and a perception of the brand in the user’s mind. 

By implementing these tips, you can ensure your Christmas emails not only grab attention, but also engage your audience and drive engagement. Remember, the aim of your email is not just to sell, but also to build and sustain relationships.
