It is not just Christmas to celebrate when the end of the year is closing in. New Year’s Eve and the whole winter season is another excellent opportunity for you to send out themed and aesthetically pleasing emails. But also to be there to make your audience feel cozy, or energize and motivate them in these darker months. As we always point out, in our seasonal email-related articles, it is the best policy to celebrate with our audience every chance we get. So grab a warm cup of tea, put on your favorite energizing tune and let’s enjoy the winter emailing time with us.
Why Focus on Winter Emailing?
Winter encompasses a significant portion of the year, depending on the location, the cold season can span from several weeks to several months. Considering Christmas and New Year’s Eve are usually just one day, winter is a considerably broader timeframe you can use to spice your email templates. It is also, like many other favorite celebrations, very easily evoked by minimal design elements. So you can achieve a lot by technically doing very little (With the help of our Email Editor Dragit, you will be done in minutes.). So it would be a wasted opportunity not to supply a little bit of wintery coziness or give your audience a little bit of cheer and motivation. As winter months tend to be darker, more passive, and depressive (mayoclinic.org). So winter is not solely another excellent opportunity to show seasonal comradery to your audience to remain in their memory but also means to elevate their mood. If you play your cards right, this can help to grow your audience, convert them and retain them by being the supportive friend, they need at this time of year.

1. CONNECTION
Generate an email, that will serve to provide a connection of your company to this season. It is the best idea, to not only be here at a particular point in time but create a connection of your brand to anything worth remembering. It can be a season, color, word, etc. that will connect to certain memories and emotions and make you considerably more memorable. Do not forget to use your branding:
- Use your colors, complement them or fully winterize them
- Logo, mascot, font - everything can be slightly winter-touched
- Use your brand personality and connect it with the winter season

Why Focus on New-Year-Themed Emailing?
New Year is a big celebration, that falls on one (or a couple of days) in January or a month or so later for the Lunar Calendar. It is a time of change, out with the old and in with the new. This is also time for your company to either change or to be there supporting your audience in this transition. Many choose this opportunity to set forth a list (metaphorically or literally) of resolutions, that they wish to achieve this upcoming year. These resolutions are often something, you can assist them with. And if not that, you can always be there to celebrate, thank and reminisce!

If you choose resolution, it is good to use fewer words and more action, pictures, motivational quotes, and promotions.
