5 Influencer Email Templates for Your Upcoming Holiday Campaign

The seasons are changing and so should your campaigns!  As the holiday season approaches your brand is going to need influencers to promote your holiday sales, product launches and causes you’re donating to. What better way to do this than through a festive collaboration?

Since holiday campaigns are focused on gifting, you’ll need to start reaching out to influencers early so they have time to share your brand with their followers and get them to purchase in time for your holiday promotions. Many retailers begin running their holiday promotions before Black Friday and extend them until just after Cyber Monday – leading many shoppers to do the bulk of their holiday shopping during this timeframe. To stay competitive and take advantage of this window, you’ll want to send your influencer pitches well before then.

Crafting the perfect email will help you connect with in-demand influencers who are being pitched to by a variety of brands year-round. Our gift to you is 5 influencer email templates to help with outreach for your upcoming holiday campaign:
