Black Friday Preparation

Looking for some best-selling Black Friday email templates and Cyber Monday subject lines? Check out our Black Friday and Cyber Monday hub for ideas, advice, and templates that will help you win the holiday season.

We've gathered free resources to get your emails off on the right foot. Discover high-converting email templates and messaging strategies guaranteed to help you drive more sales this season.

New Email Builder

  • Are you excited about Black Friday and Cyber Monday already? If not yet, here at Omnisend, we are doing our best to ensure you get the most out of this period. We've added mobile first & awesome Black Friday and Cyber Monday templates. 6 new templates are now available in the new Email Builder templates library. With this, we have also introduced an additional filter, "Themes" → Holiday celebration, to help you find these templates faster.

  • Mobile stacking is now available for layouts and product items in Omnisend. Mobile devices have a very limited viewing area, so a single column is an optimal layout for mobile devices. Text and images appear extremely small or squished on mobile devices when email content retains the same desktop layout. Your subscribers will likely struggle to read your content, resulting in an unsatisfactory user experience.

  • Differentiate between the old and new prices with just one click. From now on, you will be able to add or remove all old prices by marking a checkbox and changing color only for old prices as well in the new Email Builder.

  • Import your HTML templates to the new Email Builder in a few clicks. You will have the option to edit the content and design of your template; click on the email content, and the HTML box for editing will open up.

Moreover, we're debuting our brand new series called Email Marketing 101! In this first episode, Aleksej and Gabe discuss the 5 Most Common Questions Beginners Have.

Automations

  • Meet our new event-based automation presets: Abandoned Cart and Abandoned Checkout. Instead of a single Abandoned cart, you will see Abandoned Cart and Abandoned Checkout presets. This allows you to have different automations for two customer journeys with varying intents of buying. Please note that this feature is still in BETA, so if you don't see it in your account yet - it will be added soon.

Forms

  • Wheel of Fortune is a gamified popup form provided by Omnisend. It is an interactive way to collect subscribers by offering them to spin a wheel and win a discount or anything else you would like to offer in exchange for their signup.

  • More templates! Three new templates are now available in the forms library for the Wheel of Fortune popup. You can check them out here. Three new templates are ready for the upcoming Halloween celebration 🎃

  • Landing Pages in the new Form Builder are ready and waiting for you to promote new products and run special events or pre-sale campaigns. Our all-new Landing Pages let you reach a broader audience and run time-limited campaigns outside of your website. If you already have a landing page on the classic Form Builder, you can move it to the new Form Builder using the “Open in New Builder” option.

  • Discount blocks for the success message are now available. You’ll see there is another new block in the left side panel called “Discount”. It is available when you click on the success message section in the form. You can drag and drop this item to your success message and choose to add your own discount, which will be static and displayed to the users after they subscribed.

Segmentation

Custom Property filter in Segmentation has a value system now. Now you can choose whether the custom property is a text, number, date, or True / False and select its corresponding operators.
