Auto-Run Seasonal Campaigns by Holiday
Automatically launch holiday and seasonal campaigns with zero manual setup
Klaviyo automation that detects upcoming holidays and seasonal events, then automatically triggers pre-built email campaigns (Black Friday, Christmas, Valentine's, etc.) with dynamic content.
Holidays drive massive revenue spikes, but campaign planning takes weeks. This automation detects upcoming holidays (Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Black Friday, Christmas, New Year's) 30 days in advance and automatically triggers pre-configured Klaviyo campaigns tailored to each event. Each campaign includes: themed subject lines, product recommendations (gift guides, best sellers), dynamic discounts (increasing as the holiday approaches), and countdown timers. The automation personalizes by customer purchase history — a customer who bought skincare gets beauty gift guides, someone who bought fitness equipment gets workout gift bundles. For Black Friday specifically, the automation stages discounts: teaser email 30 days out (10% preview), build-up 7 days out (20% coming soon), launch day (25-40% LIVE), last chance emails (final 12 hours, stacking urgency). A handful of peak periods carry a disproportionate share of the retail year, and every one of them has a fixed date you can prepare for. Each campaign is staged and queued ahead of its date, so no peak passes because the calendar got away from you.
Runs triggered 30 days before major holiday using Klaviyo, run by your Ecommerce Manager.
