However, as this month's articles show - it's time to be preparing for the jolly season.

EEC Report: The Guide To Gearing UP for the Holiday Season* |
Long before retailers hang any wreaths or tinsel in their stores, they send out emails promoting their Christmas deals to their subscribers — lots of emails!
Therefore,
in January Email Experience Council produced 'Ring-Cha-Ching, Hear Them Ring: The Guide to Gearing Up for the Holiday Email Season', a helpful roadmap to the email holiday season so retailers and other companies can better formulate their campaigns this year.
The guide includes discussions and examples of the '12 Phases of Christmas', the 12 strategies that retailers use at different points in the holiday season. Those strategies include promoting e-gift cards and “buy online, pick up in store” services.
