The end of the year is stuffed with holidays — such as Black Friday and Small Business Saturday — that you’ll want to prepare for. And the handful of days after Thanksgiving are particularly full of notable occasions that drive customer traffic and generate revenue or donations. Here’s how to take advantage of the busiest weekend of the holiday season: 
Season your subject line for every event
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving weekend sales add spice to the holiday. Give thanks for your customers by giving them the deals they’re looking for. Some subject line ideas: 

With a side of gratitude for our pets — PetSmart
Live the give — Toms
Wines That Go With Turkey (And All The Sides) — expressions of the vine 
Happy Thanksgiving. Hot discount one week only. — Book keeping
Most Commonly Forgotten Thanksgiving Items — FreshDirect

Black Friday
U.S. retailers earned a record $7.9 billion on Black Friday in 2017. To get in on the action, have a look at these Black Friday email subject lines:

Mystery Sale – How Much Will You Save — Forever 21
Don’t wait ’til tomorrow! Take up to 50% off our most popular inventions right now. — Quirky
FOMOBF: Fear of Missing Black Friday. The time is now. — Lucky Brand

If You Open One Email This Black Friday… — Steve Madden 

Cyber Monday
As the largest online sales day of the year, Cyber Monday is no time to power down. Instead, try these Cyber Monday email subject lines:

Buy One, Get One Free Continues with Cyber Monday — EyeBuyDirect
Take a break from Cyber Monday, have some Taco Bell — Taco Bell
Hurry, Only Hours Left for Cyber Monday Savings! — Sports Authority
Save big for Cyber Monday – give the gift of family — Ancestry.com

Giving Tuesday
#GivingTuesday is an annual celebration focused on generosity and raising money for worthy causes. Get in on the good spirits with these subject lines:

$25 provides 100 meals — The St. Louis Area Foodbank
Plant 5,000 native trees to help wildlife — The National Wildlife Federation 
There’s a sea lion pup who wants you to open this email — Oceana 
Why the Cheerleaders Shaved Their Heads — LIVESTRONG Foundation
We cannot stop Alzheimer’s without you — UsAgainstAlzheimer’s 

If you’re unsure where to start, focus on a realistic promotion for your business to run. Think about the value you provide and something that would make sense in your target customer’s wish list. For example, a sporting goods store might promote comfortable clothes to wear after the Thanksgiving meal, or perhaps Black Friday sales worth racing toward. Take a look at the below ideas, and consider how you could rework them to work for you.
