Relational Campaign email examples & ideas from Made By Sunday

To celebrate the end of the year with a lighthearted, personal tone while driving immediate sales through a time-sensitive 30% off discount, positioning Made By Sunday’s products as essential solutions for common skin concerns in the new year.

Add a visual product grid or thumbnail images next to each recommended solution (night cream, ghosted set, daily treatment) to reduce cognitive load and increase click-through by showing what’s being offered, not just describing it. • Include a subtle countdown timer or urgency indicator near the CTA (e.g., 'Offer expires Jan 1 at midnight') to reinforce time sensitivity and reduce hesitation, especially since the discount is tied to a specific holiday event.
