bookings. Here are a few tips:<br />

› Segment your list: Segment your email<br />

list based on different factors, such as<br />

location, interests, and past booking<br />

behaviour. This will allow you to send<br />

your subscribers more targeted and<br />

relevant messages.<br />

› Send seasonal content: Highlight the<br />

unique winter experiences that your<br />

glamping site has to offer. This could<br />

include snuggling up in front of the wood<br />

burner, enjoying a winter campfire, or<br />

taking a hot tub dip in the rain or snow!<br />

› Offer special winter promotions:<br />

Offer your email subscribers exclusive<br />

discounts, packages, and other<br />

incentives to book a winter stay.<br />

› Create a sense of urgency: Use<br />

scarcity and urgency to encourage your<br />

subscribers to book now. For example,<br />

you could offer a limited-time discount<br />

or early access to popular dates.<br />

› Make it easy to book: Include a clear<br />

call to action in all your emails, and<br />

make it easy for your subscribers to book<br />

directly with you. You can use a booking<br />

link or button in your email signature<br />

or add a booking widget to your email<br />

newsletter.<br />
