Engagement works best with a goal in mind

Once you set your email marketing goal its time to create your offer to exemplify it. Your offer can include an incentive to look at your website, make a purchase, or share your email with a friend. Think of using a simple discount e-coupon toward the purchase or a downloadable webinar or a valuable whitepaper, the choice is yours.  Whatever the incentive is make sure it’s audience specific.  You don’t want to offer a webinar about cat care to a dog only lover.
Writing content for your email campaign for a specific audience may require a few renditions of the same offer.  Segment your list by the demographics you select and proceed.
Select a template to use during your entire campaign and plan your mailings.  You might consider sending out an email soon, focusing on Black Friday, Shop Small Saturday and Cyber Monday.  As these days approach, your email campaigns should elicit excitement and anticipation, with your “Call to Action”.
Your message should be personalized:  Dear Jane, not Dear jane34@gmail
Continue to update your social media to coincide with your emails
Set a marketing Goal: – to Increase your brand awareness that will grow user engagement and increase your sales. Segment by the demographics –  And test, test, test – consider changing up the subject line or graphics and test some more.   Note which email subject (for example) has the highest opens or clickthroughs.  Send your email campaign out early as those shopping day approaches,  with follow-up emails and reminders- and prepare for a fruitful sales experience. .
