How do I create urgency in Black Friday emails?

Every Black Friday, I struggle to make my email marketing campaigns stand out and drive immediate action. My previous emails felt generic, and customers often delayed purchases or ignored them entirely. I need a strategic approach to craft emails that create genuine urgency, compel readers to click, and motivate instant purchases without seeming manipulative or desperate. How can I design email content that truly makes customers feel they'll miss an incredible, time-sensitive opportunity?
