Memorial Day email templates

What subscribers can expect on Memorial Day

When it comes to communicating about Memorial Day, it is important to find the sweet spot. Consider this 2-in-1 type of content: share respectful tributes while announcing holiday sales or community events. If we take marketing into account, Memorial Day is actually a decent retail opportunity your business can take advantage of. 

That way, having ready-to-use templates for Memorial Day emails can help you connect with subscribers on this meaningful occasion. The right email template can help you balance commemoration with commerce. Never forget that your audience is looking for both ways to honor the holidays and seasonal opportunities. Recent studies show that Memorial Day emails sent the next week after the holiday weekend achieve 19% higher engagement rates compared to average, allowing subscribers to plan both their observances and shopping.

Memorial Day email designs that work

Stuck without decent photos for your Memorial Day emails? No worries! Our image tool can whip up exactly what you need in seconds. Simply describe what you’re looking for — like “patriotic tribute” or “memorial reflection” — and receive unique options embedded right into your email template. You can also go through our library of stock photos and GIFs we’ve gathered over the years — lots of nice flag imagery and thoughtful memorial visuals that won’t come off as tacky.

Got your own pics? Even better! Just upload them to your account. Many of our users create their own simple animations too — just keep in mind the somber nature of the holiday. Remember, customers appreciate authentic representation — thoughtful tributes, community moments, and respectful celebrations. Our design team regularly updates the template collection to ensure contemporary appeal while honoring the holiday’s solemnity.

Make your emails visually impactful by implementing appropriate color schemes and dignified typography. Every element in our Memorial Day email template can be customized without coding expertise or designer assistance.

Fully customizable email design

We created these email templates with all the right elements already in place because Memorial Day emails need to have that special touch. You’ll find red, white, and blue color schemes (not too bright, not too dull), fonts that look good for both formal “we remember” sections and your “20% off this weekend” parts, and layouts that just work.

Our drag-and-drop email editor automatically fixes spacing issues and ensures mobile and cross-platform optimization — you know how frustrating it is to send something that looks great on your computer screen, but terrible on a mobile phone! It all fits together nicely, whether someone’s checking email on their laptop or on their smartphone.

Real results from real businesses

You can make your Memorial Day email nearly triple your usual weekend revenue by sending different versions to different subscriber segments. For example, customers who bought summer gear from your online store last year will receive one message, while people near your brick-and-mortar stores will receive another with local parade information.

You can set up integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, and the rest, so your inventory numbers stay accurate even when sales spike over the weekend (use pre-built AMP blocks). And our smart follow-up system can automatically ping anyone who didn’t open the first email. Some customers run community-focused campaigns, some do pure sales, most do a mix — all work great when done right.
