How Lily and Fox does ecommerce email campaigns
1. Get Your St. Patrick's Day Mani Now!
Objective
The email aims to drive immediate engagement and sales by encouraging recipients to shop St. Patrick’s Day-themed nail designs, leveraging personalization and holiday urgency to convert interest into action.
Why this works
The email opens with a personalized greeting and immediately ties the offer to a cultural moment, St. Patrick’s Day, creating instant relevance and emotional resonance that motivates quick action.
How to implement
By framing the 15 designs as ‘gorgeous’ and ‘waiting for you,’ the message creates a sense of exclusivity and anticipation, making the recipient feel personally invited to claim something special rather than just browsing.
Pro Tip
Add a visual preview of 2–3 featured St. Patrick’s Day nail designs directly in the email to reduce cognitive load and increase click-through by showing, not just telling, what’s available. • Include a time-sensitive element like ‘Only available until March 17’ or a countdown timer to amplify urgency and prevent procrastination, aligning with the holiday’s finite nature.
2. A St. Patrick's Day Collection Is Here!
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate purchases by creating urgency around a limited-time St. Patrick’s Day nail collection, while also personalizing the experience by asking the recipient about their favorite holiday for nail art.
Why this works
The email opens with a personal greeting and immediately ties the product to a timely cultural moment, St. Patrick’s Day, making the offer feel relevant, festive, and hard to ignore for holiday-minded shoppers.
How to implement
By asking a light, interactive question, 'What holiday is your favorite to do your nails for?', the brand invites emotional engagement without demanding a response, subtly deepening the customer’s connection to the brand’s personality.
Pro Tip
Add a visual preview of 1–2 featured nail designs from the St. Patrick’s Day collection directly in the email body to reduce cognitive load and increase desire, customers should see the product before they’re asked to click. • Include a subtle urgency indicator like 'Limited stock' or 'Selling fast' near the CTA to reinforce scarcity without being pushy, which would strengthen the psychological trigger already hinted at with 'before they sell out!'
3. Do You Have A St. Patrick's Day Mani?
Objective
The email aims to re-engage the subscriber by highlighting a festive St. Patrick’s Day nail polish collection and prompting immediate action through a personalized product recommendation and direct shopping link. It also invites feedback to inform future inventory decisions.
Why this works
The email opens with a warm, personalized greeting and immediately ties the product to a timely cultural moment, St. Patrick’s Day, making the offer feel relevant and urgent without being pushy.
How to implement
By naming specific shades like 'Jet Set' and 'Luck’s On The Way,' the brand creates vivid mental imagery and emotional connection, helping subscribers visualize the product and increasing the likelihood of engagement.
Pro Tip
Add a visual hero image or product grid of the featured nail polishes to make the collection tangible and enticing, text alone doesn’t convey color, texture, or festive appeal. • Include a time-sensitive element like 'Limited Stock for St. Patrick’s Day' or a countdown timer near the CTA to create urgency and encourage immediate clicks.
