Even before trick-or-treaters started knocking on your door, retailers were hanging up their stockings and began playing holiday jingles. The December holidays seem to start in early October. And if you feel like you’re missing something, it’s because you are: Thanksgiving!

Between Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday, Thanksgiving can often be overlooked. After all, your customers are likely too busy feasting, watching football and slipping into tryptophan-induced food comas to shop, right? Well, not exactly. Your customers might be house-bound, but in 2016, consumers spent $1.93 billion online on Thanksgiving Day, an 11.5 percent increase year-over-year.

We know you have a full plate, but if you want a slice of that pumpkin-spiced revenue pie, you need to remind your subscribers what your business has to offer this holiday season. We collected some of our favorite email subject lines to send before and during Thanksgiving.
