The guide
How to write sale emails
When to send it
A sale email goes out when you have a real reason to drop a price and a clear end date. Coffee bundles 20% off through Sunday, 30% off sofas for Black Friday, clearance kitchenware that ends Sunday, 25% off skincare for a summer sale. The end date does the work. Without one, people save the email and forget it.
Send it to people who already know you. Subscribers and past customers open a sale email because they asked to hear from you or bought something before. A cold list mostly ignores a discount from a shop it has never visited.
For a small shop, one sale email to the whole list is enough. If you keep segments, you can send a members-only version to regulars a day early and leave everyone else out of it.
Timing
Send the first email on the morning the sale starts, not a week before. People act on a discount when it is live and the shop is open.
If the sale runs a week, one reminder near the end earns its place. Put the closing day in the subject line so it is clear from the inbox. A one-day sale can go out as a single email.

How AguMail sends it
AguMail sends a sale email as a one-off campaign. It can go to your whole list, or to a saved segment on Starter and above, now or at a time you schedule. Campaigns are on every plan, Free included.
Every template in the library is free on every plan. Picking one copies it into your account and opens it in the email editor, where you change every word, color and picture. The writing assistant can draft the sale copy from the business details saved in AguMail, and you read and approve it before it goes out.

Common questions about sale emails
How many sale emails should I send?
Two is enough for a sale that runs a week: one on the first morning and one near the end with the closing date. A one-day sale works as a single campaign.
Can I send a sale email only to certain customers?
Yes. A campaign goes to your whole list, or to a saved segment on Starter and above. You could send a members-only sale to one segment and keep the rest of the list out of it.
Can I schedule a sale email to go out at a set time?
Yes. When you set up the campaign you choose to send it now or at a scheduled time, such as 8am on the Friday the sale opens.
What should a sale email say?
The discount, what it applies to, and the exact day and time it ends. Add one button that goes straight to the sale section of your shop.
Is the sale template free?
Every template in AguMail's library is free on every plan, Free included. Picking one copies it into your account and opens it in the editor, where you change the prices, dates and photos.
