Many people hold back at Christmas time so that they can spend during the January sales period. So it\u2019s a good time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/knowledge-base\/print-store-launch-marketing-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attract new customers<\/a>, engage with them and show your art prints, or retarget existing customers who did not make a purchase in the past year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning a print sale in January requires a slightly different approach because you need to capture the attention of people who are still getting over the mad rush of the Christmas sales season. You need to have some exciting options and offers as part of your sales communication to ensure your audience cannot resist participating. That\u2019s why we have prepared a quick reference guide for you to get set up for the January sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So don\u2019t hibernate while others get busy! Now is the time to start marketing and building your collector base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>5 email marketing ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have come up with 5 email ideas for you to use as part of your print sales marketing strategy. Each of these emails is based on a theme. You can choose the theme that resonates the most with your art brand and then customise the email message to send to your mailing list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have sent the first email to your customers, remember to follow up with a reminder email, preferably a day before the sale ends, along the lines of \u201cLast day of the sale\u201d or \u201cLast chance to own a print for 20% less\u201d. This will help reiterate your sales communication and act as a nudge for someone who missed out on acting on your first email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Email idea 1: Your chance to own an original art print for less<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Subject text:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>January Sale is now on!
