Emails We Love: Lilly Pulitzer’s #buymelilly Click-to-Tweet

Share This Post

The 2013 holiday shopping season is already underway, which means we’ve been keeping an eye out to see the creative ideas marketers have dreamt up this year to captivate their email audiences.

One recent holiday email that caught our attention comes from Lilly Pulitzer. By using Agile Email Marketing technology, Lilly Pulitzer included an image in this campaign that when clicked, prompted a pre-populated tweet to open that included the #buymelilly hashtag. The image was also deep-linked so that if the subscriber opened the email on a mobile device with the Twitter app already installed, the tweet would load ready-to-send in the mobile app versus requesting a log-in to Twitter in a web browser. The user’s device was detected at the moment of email open, and the optimal click-through action was also determined in real-time.

We love this email because not only does it unite social media and email together seamlessly, but this approach is a clever way to make it easy for fans of Lilly Pulitzer to share with their networks what’s on their holiday wish lists this year.

Check out even more examples of how to use social media in email, as well as our favorite holiday season campaigns, on our Pinterest page. Questions? Contact us or request a demo of Movable Ink.
