Here's our one email. The deal, no theater.

Hi {{firstName}},

Your inbox next week is going to be unbearable. Sorry for adding to it; we'll be brief.

We're doing 25% off sitewide from Friday 9am to Monday midnight ET. Code: GIVING25.

That's the deal. No tiered offers, no flash sales, no daily countdown. Same code, same percentage, four days.

If you want to shop early, [the same code works now]({{shopURL}}). Treating early subscribers fairly is the only Black Friday rule we follow.

Why this works

Counter-positioning against Black Friday noise is increasingly powerful as the season gets more saturated. The 'no tiered offers, no flash sales' language is a real differentiator. Make sure the code actually works from now through Monday — the structural honesty is the whole pitch.
