People also ask

1. What’s different about F&B emails from grocery brand emails?

F&B emails may not cater to the same purchase frequency as grocery brands – or provide the same restaurant service standards. 

Yet they must stay on top of the subscriber’s mind. All food and beverage outlets can house food and beverage products – but not all grocery products are part of the food and beverage industry. 

This means F&B brands can’t afford to send as many emails as grocery brands – but still send enough to be actively engaged and recalled.

2. What is the best time for food & beverage brands to send emails?

The best time to send food and beverage emails is when shoppers plan grocery shopping – or before the cravings hit. 

For example, send snack-reminder emails around 11 AM to 12 PM, just before the lunch hour starts – or during the evening to win over cravings.  

Meanwhile, if you’re a beverage brand, you can send daily reminders – over 40% of the US population consumes some form of energy drinks regularly. 

The best days to trigger your F&B emails are on weekdays, especially on Fridays and Wednesdays.

3. How do I run successful email marketing campaigns for my food and beverage eCommerce store?

The key tips for running a successful email campaign for your food and beverage eCommerce store is to remember:

Emails are a service

The goal is to help shoppers come to a conclusion and make the buying process easy.

Copy is what sells

There are probably 100 different brands selling the same product – and the same USP – what this means is that people come for your brand. This, your F&B emails should maintain that tonality, that cheeky humor and remember, email copy is the thought and the words. (keep reading about email copywriting).

Collect the latest information

This means offering an option to update customer information like dietary preferences, allergies, and delivery area. 

Incorporate data as clearly as possible

Include nutritional information like calorie count, allergen information, and ingredients (as well as benefits). Also, factor in user data like dietary preferences as well as location to create realistic delivery timelines. 

Use puns in your subject lines to drive opens

For example, use food puns like “Pasta la vista, baby” or “this deal is ZING.”

Show your packaging and your products 

If you don’t sell packaged foods, keep the focus on the end result (like showing a bowl of steamy noodles along with the noodle package).

Include trackable links on your upsells and cross-sells within your emails

Doing this will help you build recommendations based on products a shopper clicks on.

Avoid sending just promotional emails – or too few emails

Instead, try to slowly warm subscribers up by how much they engage. If a shopper actively engages and shows interest, send more emails – or else, adjust your sending volume.

Remember: Quick commerce is where you need to be if you’re an F&B brand – however, emails are your way out to get shoppers planning purchases and keep coming back for you.
