- Choose the Seasonal Moment You’re Tapping Into
Are you writing for a specific holiday (e.g. Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving), a season (e.g. summer, back-to-school), or a timely cultural moment? Be clear about the context and timing. - Define the Offer
What are you promoting, and why is it especially relevant right now? Whether it’s a limited-time bundle, festive discount, or seasonal launch—clarify the transformation or benefit. - Identify the Emotional Theme
What seasonal emotion do you want to evoke—celebration, warmth, renewal, generosity, reflection, relief? This shapes your tone and visuals. - Name the Target Audience
Who is this email really for? What’s top-of-mind for them in this season, and how does your offer fit into their current priorities? - Set the Deadline or Urgency Trigger
What creates urgency in this moment? Consider shipping deadlines, the end of a holiday weekend, seasonal scarcity, or emotional timing (“before the year ends,” “while the kids are still home”). - Align Brand Voice With the Season
Decide how your usual brand tone should adapt. For example: bold becomes playful, elegant becomes heartfelt, or warm becomes celebratory. - Prepare for Distribution and Tracking
Add your UTM links, promo codes, or automation tags now so you can measure opens, clicks, conversions—and keep seasonal benchmarks for future campaigns.
