Anyday Thanksgiving emails worth copying
1. fwd: insanely good Complete Set review
Objective
This email aims to drive urgency and conversions for Anyday’s Black Friday sale by leveraging a forwarded customer testimonial to build social proof, while highlighting limited-time discounts on their Complete and Everyday Sets to encourage immediate purchase.
Why this works
The email brilliantly repurposes a real customer testimonial as a forwarded message, creating an authentic, behind-the-scenes vibe that feels personal and trustworthy rather than promotional, which significantly boosts emotional engagement and credibility.
How to implement
By anchoring the discount to a specific, time-sensitive event, Black Friday, and pairing it with a founder’s personal note, the campaign transforms a standard sale into a must-act-now moment that feels exclusive and emotionally resonant with the recipient.
Pro Tip
Add a visual product image or thumbnail of the Complete Set near the testimonial to reinforce what’s being praised, this bridges the emotional story with the tangible product, reducing cognitive friction and increasing conversion likelihood. • Include a countdown timer or stock indicator next to the CTA to amplify urgency, since the email already references scarcity ('before they sell out'), a visual cue would make that pressure more immediate and actionable for hesitant buyers.
2. EARLY SALE: Put your microwave to work this Thanksgiving
Objective
This email aims to drive early Thanksgiving sales by positioning Anyday’s microwave-safe cookware as the solution to holiday cooking stress, while also promoting a virtual cooking class to build engagement and offer an additional discount incentive.
Why this works
The email brilliantly reframes the microwave as a Thanksgiving hero, not a last resort, turning a common kitchen appliance into the centerpiece of stress-free holiday cooking with clever, benefit-driven copy that speaks directly to overwhelmed hosts.
How to implement
By bundling a time-sensitive discount with a virtual cooking class, the campaign creates dual value: immediate savings plus educational content that builds trust and positions the brand as a helpful guide, not just a seller, deepening customer connection beyond the transaction.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the CTA to create urgency around the sale deadline, especially since the email promotes an 'early' sale, this would reinforce the time-sensitive nature of the discount and nudge immediate action. • Include a short testimonial or social proof near the product sets (e.g., 'Loved by 10,000+ Thanksgiving hosts') to build credibility and reduce hesitation, since customers may be unfamiliar with microwave cooking for holiday meals.
3. Thanksgiving cooking tips for actually enjoying your holiday
Objective
This email aims to reduce Thanksgiving cooking stress by showcasing how Anyday dishes simplify meal prep, while driving sales through time-sensitive discounts and product-specific CTAs. It positions the brand as a holiday lifesaver by featuring real employee recipes and urgency-driven shipping deadlines.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties product utility to emotional relief by having real team members share personal Thanksgiving hacks, making the dishes feel like trusted kitchen companions rather than just cookware.
How to implement
Instead of generic promotions, it uses specific dish names and real recipes to demonstrate versatility, like using the Large Square Dish for stuffing or the Deep Dish for cranberry sauce, making the value instantly tangible and actionable.
Pro Tip
Add a visual countdown timer near the shipping deadline to reinforce urgency, since the current text-based date may not grab attention quickly enough in a crowded inbox. • Include a small icon or badge next to each CTA button indicating which dish it corresponds to (e.g., a pie icon for 'Shop the Large Starter Set') to improve visual scanning and reduce cognitive load.
4. What we’re cooking tomorrow!
Objective
This email aims to inspire customers to use Anyday dishes for Thanksgiving meal prep by showcasing real, relatable recipes and time-saving hacks from the company’s own team, turning product utility into emotional, holiday-driven storytelling that builds trust and encourages usage.
Why this works
The email brilliantly humanizes the brand by featuring real team members sharing personal Thanksgiving hacks, this authenticity transforms product usage into relatable, emotional storytelling that builds trust far more effectively than generic recipe lists ever could.
How to implement
Each testimonial is tightly focused on a single dish or technique, making the content scannable and actionable, readers instantly see how Anyday dishes solve specific holiday pain points, which turns inspiration into immediate product consideration without feeling salesy.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle visual cue or icon next to each dish name (e.g., 'brown butter Pepperidge farm stuffing') to link directly to the product page or recipe guide, this would turn passive inspiration into immediate, frictionless action without disrupting the storytelling flow. • Include a small 'Holiday Hack Tip' badge or tag under each team member’s photo to visually reinforce the utility angle, this would help readers quickly scan for time-saving or make-ahead ideas, improving content digestion for busy holiday planners.
5. 6 stress-free Thanksgiving tips
Objective
This email aims to reduce Thanksgiving cooking stress by offering practical microwave-based tips while promoting Anyday’s cookware through a limited-time discount and complementary educational content. It encourages immediate purchase and engagement with video tutorials and downloadable guides to build brand trust and drive holiday sales.
Why this works
The email brilliantly reframes microwave cooking as a smart, stress-free solution for Thanksgiving, not a compromise, by pairing each tip with a specific Anyday product, turning everyday frustration into a compelling reason to buy.
How to implement
By embedding a time-sensitive discount code directly beneath actionable tips, the campaign creates urgency without being pushy, making the offer feel like a natural reward for engaging with the content rather than a sales tactic.
Pro Tip
The product grid lacks visual hierarchy, consider enlarging the 'The Leftovers Bundle' image or adding a 'Best Seller' badge to guide attention toward the highest-converting or most relevant item for Thanksgiving prep. • The CTA 'Get 25% OFF with code EARLYBIRD' appears only once above the product grid; repeat it below the video section or beside the recipe download to capture users who scroll past the initial offer.
6. What we’re microwaving today…
Objective
This email aims to drive Black Friday sales by showcasing how Anyday’s glass cookware simplifies holiday meal prep through real employee testimonials and time-saving recipes, while leveraging limited-time discounts to create urgency.
Why this works
The email brilliantly blends personal storytelling with product promotion by featuring real employees sharing their own Thanksgiving recipes using Anyday dishes, which builds authentic trust and emotional connection with the audience.
How to implement
By anchoring each product recommendation to a specific, time-saving holiday dish, like 15-minute pumpkin pie or hands-off scalloped potatoes, the campaign transforms cookware from a generic kitchen tool into an indispensable holiday hero.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the top of the email to visually reinforce the urgency of the Black Friday sale and encourage immediate action before the discount expires. • Include a small FAQ or 'Why Anyday?' section after the testimonials to preemptively address common concerns like microwave safety, oven compatibility, or dishwashing, reducing friction before the CTA.

It leverages urgency and social proof through collaboration with Milk Street to build trust and drive immediate engagement.
Why this works

How to implement
By embedding a password-protected class with a playful code (‘GOBBLE’), the campaign creates a sense of exclusivity and fun, turning a simple CTA into a memorable, shareable moment that boosts engagement and brand recall.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the 'Watch the cooking class' CTA to create urgency, since the offer is time-sensitive and holiday-related, this would nudge procrastinators to act before Thanksgiving prep peaks. • Include a short testimonial or user quote under the cooking class section to reinforce social proof, for example, 'Over 5,000 cooks loved this class last year!', to reduce hesitation for first-time users.

How to implement
By tying the product’s utility to a culturally relevant moment, Thanksgiving leftovers, the campaign taps into emotional resonance and practical need, making the purchase feel timely and necessary rather than promotional.
Pro Tip
Add a visual of the io Collection Complete Set in use during Thanksgiving prep or with leftovers to reinforce the product’s real-world application and strengthen emotional connection. • Include a countdown timer or stock indicator near the CTA to amplify urgency beyond text, since 'selling out fast' is mentioned but not visually reinforced.

Why this works
The email opens with a personal, conversational tone that immediately builds trust by having a real employee share a vulnerable, humorous holiday disaster, turning a product into a hero that saved the day, not just a kitchen tool.
How to implement
Instead of leading with the discount, the campaign strategically embeds the promotion within a compelling narrative, making the offer feel like a natural next step rather than a sales pitch, which increases emotional resonance and conversion likelihood.
Pro Tip
Add a visual of the Anyday dishes in action during the Thanksgiving story, even a simple lifestyle photo would reinforce the narrative and help readers visualize the product solving their own holiday stress. • Include a small, bolded line under the CTA like 'Final hours, sale ends tonight!' to heighten urgency without disrupting the story’s flow, since the current placement of the offer feels buried in the opening paragraph.
