Ok, maybe it’s a bit early for the Christmas wishes. But first, we do have something to help you send your own Christmas wishes and special offers to your customers and supporters (yes, new templates for you!). And second, we wish you a happy holiday and really mean it.

Santa’s designer-elves, hard at work

As usual, our talented designers have prepared new newsletter and web form templates you can use for sending holiday offers and getting those holiday sign ups on your website.

You can also use templates from the previous years – they’re still pretty!

What your customers want for Christmas

Your customers rely on you to get into the spirit of the Christmas season too. Don’t be afraid to lighten up and brighten up. Have a little holiday fun!

To decorate your holiday newsletters, you’ll find Santas, elves, snowmen, Christmas trees, Christmas decorations, and Christmas presents.

For web sign-up forms, look for Santa checking up on your sign-ups or Santa leaving presents under the Christmas tree.

We hope you like them and will make good use of them for your Christmas campaigns. Find them in your account in the Holiday category.

Our holiday wish for you

And once you’ve sent your holiday campaigns, and the shopping madness is over (at least for the day), sit back and enjoy some quiet time with your family and friends.

So before we actually wish you Merry Christmas, we wish you very successful holiday email campaigns!

And speaking of getting into the Christmas spirit, where’s my reindeer-antlers hat?

Oh, there it is

Tips for Picking Your Perfect Template

• Look first for a style that fits your business and any branding you have on your website, in collateral, etc. You can even print it all out and lay side by side. Do they belong together?
• Once you find some styles that could work, start playing with the colors. Try to keep your primary and secondary brand colors predominant, but feel free to add a dash or 2 extra, depending on your message. Just keep it clean and simple.
• Now that you have some templates and color schemes that could impress, mock up 2-3 templates with some graphics and a sample message and send them out for review. First, internally, then…
• Do a split test advertising a targeted offer. You can rely on GetResponse to return the winning template automatically!
• Keep surfing the GetResponse Template Gallery! We’re always adding new designs and tastes are always changing. So experiment!

We hope that you have enjoyed this blog post … and here’s to a new year of creating beautiful and profitable newsletters!
