Swiggy Email Marketing Campaigns

1. Birthday Email

Suppose you get a message in your inbox saying, “Got a birthday? Get a birthday present!”

Will you open it?

I bet you’ll do.

I received this email from Swiggy just a few days back. It asked me to tell them when my birthday is and they’ll send me a gift.

Everyone loves surprises and gifts on their birthdays. Birthday emails (with some incentive) show that you care about your subscribers and customers.

2. Offer Email

I won’t be wrong if I say, “Offers make your business.”

An irresistible offer encourages us to take the desired action.

See this email that I received:

3. Coupon Code Email

Are you a coupon lover?

A number of users love using coupons. So keep sending interesting coupons to your users.

Swiggy regularly provides coupons that you redeem online or in app.

4. Time Sensitive Special Discount

Put a special offer or discount in your email and make it time-sensitive.  Use words like “Limited time discount”, “Last Chance”, “Today Only”, “Few Hours Only”, etc.

In this email, they provide a flat 50% offer but make it time-sensitive (Happy Hours). Great job! Take a look:

5. Curiosity Subject Line

Try to put some curiosity in your email subject line to entice your users to read your message. Curiosity helps to drive some attention.

Take a look at these subject lines:

6. Festival Perks

Is the Holiday or Festive season around the corner? This is the season to boost your numbers, baby!

Give your customers some perks and incentives. They’ll appreciate it.

In this email, Swiggy wishes Merry Christmas and asks to reveal some delicious offers. See here:

7. Tell Stories In Email

Storytelling is a great way to deliver your message and make a human connection with your customers.

Put some video, customer success stories, or convey a story through your email copy, which appeals.

Swiggy places an emotional video in their email:

8. Re-engagement Email

Do you have in-active users or subscribers?

Re-engage these folks.

Reignite the flame by sending “miss you emails” and you’ll get a number of users back.

Recently I uninstalled the Swiggy app, and they sent me a series of re-engagement emails. They ask me to give their app another shot.

9. Share Memories with Users

Got something new for your users? Do tell them.

Use a subject line that says something like. “Something new inside!” or, “something new for you.” – It tells your customers that something is waiting inside the email.
