Best Practice Recommendations
Attentive Recommendations
● Load full screen sign-up units
on the first page that the user
visits
● If sign-up unit is closed load a
bubble on page view 2 that
opens to full screen when
clicked.
● Make it easy for the user to
close the signup unit if they do
not want to engage
Most importantly, set rules for your
overlays and test what works best for
your audience.

Testing Overlays - Offers
● During sitewide sales Sand Cloud tested having our
overlays match the onsite promotions vs a shopping
spree giveaway.
● Hypothesis: Giveaway would win as it was providing
an additional incentive vs what was already advertised
on the website.
○ Spoiler Alert: We were wrong!
● Matching the sitewide offer
○ +15% increase in CTR
○ +13% increase in Email Sign Ups
○ +25% Increase in SMS Sign Ups

OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION
PERSONALIZED
MESSAGING
Add in dynamic content to your messages to create a personalized experience with your subscribers.
I.e: First name, previous buying behavior, recommended products, etc.
MATCHING DISCOUNTS
When offering discounts on your website make sure you are promoting these on your emails and sms workflows.
Not just your calendar sends
VIP SEGMENTS
This data is in your ESP or SMS platform! Target to those who are actively engaging with your messages or have
a high LTV and provide them an incentive / early access. Call out that they are VIPs
PREVIOUS HOLIDAY
BUYERS
Expand your audience to target to those who have previously purchased during holiday and have fallen off your
active list due to un-engagement.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be cautious and make sure you are monitoring deliverability and sending to these audiences
prior to holiday. Do not send to anyone who is marked as unsubscribed.
DO NOT OVER SEND
Inboxes are very busy during the holiday season and this can lead to wanting to send more messages to
subscribers. Be mindful to not over send and develop strategies to exclude those who recently purchased or
clicked on a previous send

Harvesting Your Data Checklist
Understand Your Data Chances are you have more data available than you know!
Test, Test, Test
Test your sign-up units, emails, and sms messages NOW so you can apply those
learnings to holiday to drive maximum performance.
Match Discounts
If you are offering sitewide savings during the holiday season make sure to
promote these discounts on your workflows and not just calendar sends.
Segmentation Strategies
Craft messages that are specific to non-buyers, VIPs, engaged audiences, and
lapsed buyers all while keeping deliverability top of mind and continuing to monitor
regularly.
Nurture Subscribers
During the holiday season we often see an influx of new subscribers and
customers. Manage their lifecycle through the three stages of a subscriber:
Activation → Nuture → Reactivation
