Send a Campaign About Gift Certificates

This is the most basic strategy, and it’s something you should absolutely do even if you aren’t planning to run any specials. Your clients need to know you sell gift certificates and where they can purchase online.

1. Go to the Marketing section of your MassageBook Business Profile to get started. Here’s where we’ll create a new Campaign to send to all of our clients. Let’s select the Mother’s Day template on the Select Template step.

2. We’ll need to enter an email subject once we get to the Design step. Everybody wants to be on mom’s good side, right? Here’s one you can use that offers your customers and mom a win-win:

Earn extra brownie points from mom this Mother’s Day

3. Now we’ll start creating the body of our email. First, let’s change the header in the template to:

The Gift Mom Will Love

4. We’ll get straight to the point with the rest of the email. Here’s informative copy you can use that benefits your customers and mom:

Do you know what you’re getting mom for Mother’s Day?

Let’s give her a break this year.

We offer an easy way to purchase gift certificates online.

We’ll take the stress out of your gift giving.

Mom will be glad you did :)

Select Shop Now to go the Gift Certificates page of our website. Then choose your gift, select a certificate design (Mother’s Day ones are an option), and add a personalized message to lucky mom. Print or email delivery available.

5. You can send the email immediately if you prefer, but for this round, we’ll schedule it to go out on Monday, May 6th.

6. After the first goes out, we’ll replicate it and make edits so we can send a follow up later in the week.

7. We’ll need a new subject for the second email. It’s usually wise to listen to mom, so here’s one we’ll use this time:

Here’s the gift mom says she’ll love

8. We’ll make a few changes to the email, but we’ll leave the rest the same to keep it easy. Let’s use this for the header:

In case you missed it

Then let’s replace the first sentence in the body with:

Mother’s Day is in two days.

9. We’ll schedule this one to go out on Friday, May 10th for those last minute gift givers.

Create a Gift Certificate Promotion

Let’s use a Promotion to offer $10 off gift certificates through Mother’s Day. It’ll be our gift to our awesome clients.

1. Go to Promotions in the Marketing section of your Business Profile to get started. Here’s where we’ll create a Gift Certificate Promotion.

2. We’ll title the Promotion:

Just for Mom

3. We’ll use this for the description:

Give the gift of health and wellness this Mother’s Day. Buy a gift certificate below and receive $10 off. Select a certificate design (Mother’s Day ones available), add a personalized message to mom, and choose to email or print it. The gift code is valued at the original price of the service. This offer is available through the end of Mother’s Day.

4. Once we’ve finalized the details of our Promotion, we’ll announce it through a Campaign that we’ll design on our own. Let’s make sure we follow the steps outlined in the help tutorial so that we properly link the Promotion to the Campaign.

5. Our email subject should let our customers know that this is a deal they shouldn’t miss especially since mom agrees. We’ll use this:

Here’s the deal your mother does not want you to miss

6. We’ll be direct with the email and let the Promotion’s page outline the details. Here’s what we’ll enter:

Do you know what you’re getting mom for Mother’s Day?

We’ve made it super simple to give her the me-time she deserves.

And we’re including extra savings for you too.

Select the link below to purchase a gift certificate for $10 off through Mother’s Day!

7. We’ll schedule this to send on Monday, May 6th.

8. Then we’ll share the deal on social media on Wednesday, May 8th and Friday, May 10th.
