Should I send a Black Friday preview email?

As an e-commerce business preparing for the biggest shopping season, I'm wondering about the strategic value of sending a Black Friday preview email. I want to build anticipation, give loyal customers a heads-up, and potentially drive early sales, but I'm unsure about the timing, content, and potential impact on my overall holiday marketing strategy. What are the pros and cons of teasing my upcoming Black Friday deals before the actual event?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Yes, send a Black Friday preview email 24-48 hours before the sale launches to your VIP subscribers. Preview emails generate 20-40% of first-hour revenue as excited subscribers are primed and ready to purchase the moment the sale goes live.

The Black Friday Preview Email

A preview email isn't just a teaser - it's a conversion pre-load. Subscribers who see the offer before it launches are warmed up, their decision is partially made, and they convert faster when the sale goes live.

Growth Suite Tip

Create a VIP-only early access window 4-8 hours before the public sale using a unique Growth Suite offer link. This gives your preview email recipients real early access, not just a preview - they can actually purchase while others wait.
