Should I send Black Friday reminder emails?

As an e-commerce business owner preparing for the critical Black Friday shopping season, I'm uncertain about the best email communication strategy. I want to maximize sales and engagement without overwhelming my subscribers or seeming too pushy. How many reminder emails should I send? What's the right timing and frequency to ensure customers are informed but not annoyed? I need a strategic approach that balances promotional effectiveness with maintaining a positive relationship with my email list.

Black Friday Reminder Emails

The resend-to-non-openers strategy is one of the highest-ROI email tactics during Black Friday. Many subscribers miss your launch email due to inbox volume - a second chance with a different subject line captures them.

Reminder TypeSend ToSubject Line Approach
Non-opener resendSubscribers who didn't open launch emailCompletely different angle from original
Non-clicker reminderOpened but didn't clickDifferent product angle or added urgency
Cart abandonerAdded to cart but didn't purchaseSpecific to cart item + urgency

Resend Timing

Wait at least 4-6 hours before resending to non-openers. Resending too quickly is annoying; resending at a different time of day (morning vs. evening) increases the probability of a different engagement context and opens.
