How often should I email during Black Friday week?

As an e-commerce business owner preparing for Black Friday, I'm struggling to determine the optimal email frequency during this critical sales period. I want to maximize engagement and sales without overwhelming my subscribers or causing email fatigue. There's a delicate balance between staying top-of-mind and becoming annoying, and I need strategic guidance on how many emails I should send, what content to include, and when to send them to drive the best results during this high-stakes shopping week.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Email 3-4 times during Black Friday week: pre-sale teaser (2-3 days before), launch email (Thursday night or Friday morning), mid-sale reminder (Friday evening), and last-chance (final 2-4 hours). More than 4 emails in 4 days risks unsubscribes.
