Episode #362 - The One December Email That Carries Your Brand Into the New Year

Between December 26 and the first week of January, something subtle—but powerful—happens. The holiday chaos fades, the pace slows, and your customers start imagining a new version of themselves.

And that moment? It's one of the most emotionally open windows of the entire year.

🎧 In this episode, I break down why late December is the perfect time to send one thoughtful, identity-driven email—and how this single message can keep your brand top of mind well into January and beyond. You'll learn why this isn't about promotions or urgency, what your customer is really craving during this in-between season, and how to craft an email that feels grounding, intentional, and deeply aligned with who they're becoming.

If you've ever wondered how to stay relevant after the holidays—without shouting about sales—this episode will give you a powerful new framework.

💡 In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ Why late December is a uniquely emotional and receptive moment for your audience
✅ The real purpose of a "December transformation" email (and what it is not)
✅ How identity-driven marketing builds longer-term loyalty than promotions
✅ The five core components every December email should include
✅ Three different frameworks you can use, depending on your brand's voice and category
✅ Why this one email improves January performance across campaigns and flows
✅ How to position your brand as a trusted companion—not just a store—as customers enter a new chapter
