本周四(11月24日)是感恩节,不少外贸人已经摩拳擦掌准备给买家们发邮件,感谢今年的支持了。
但是!来看看收到邮件的买家们是怎么说的吧:
“求求了别再发感恩节邮件了!”
“我们根本就不过感恩节!”
冷知识!只有美国人过感恩节!
感恩节之所以这么有名,是因为它在美国是仅次于圣诞节的第二大节日。在美国,感恩节假期一般会从星期四持续到星期日,所以下周美国买家不回复你,也是正常的。
感恩节的来历要追溯到著名的“五月花”号,它载着102个在英国遭受宗教迫害的清教徒到了美洲,这批移民在冬天过得饥寒交迫,眼看活不下去了,原住民印第安人向他们伸出了援手,教他们种田捕猎,是他们适应了美洲的生活。
来年缓过劲儿的移民就邀请印地安人一同庆祝丰收,渐渐形成了“感恩”的传统。
欧洲诸国、澳大利亚等国家也都是不过感恩节的。
那么美国人的邻居——加拿大人过不过感恩节呢?
加拿大的感恩节在每年的10月第二个星期一,是为了纪念英国探险家Martin Frobisher于1578年在现今的加拿大纽芬兰省建立了定居点。
想想你在过年时收到群发的祝福短信你会在意吗?放弃模板化的祝福吧,它们会被淹没在感恩节祝福的海洋里。
你可以:
写一封个性化的邮件;
拍个小视频;
寄一份走心的小礼物;
甚至来一波促销。
只有在了解客户文化的基础上,才能把祝福送到客户的心坎里!
在美国人的心目中,感恩节的重要性仅次于圣诞节。这一天也是美国的公共假日,美国人往往连上周末,度过一个4-5天的假期,作为美国血拼季和休假季的开始。所以如果有美国客户,不妨好好利用这个节日,完成潜在订单哦。当然不管是发邮件,送贺卡或者是送礼物,都最好要走心,这样才会有更加有效果。
不同客户感恩节跟进技巧
第一种,已下单客户
没有什么比送礼更直接的了。对于老客户,我们可以根据客户的喜好、需求在这个节日送上一份贴心的小礼物,比如一件孩子喜欢的小玩具、客户喜欢的书籍等等;如果是新客户,不了解对方的喜好也没有关系,可以送一些中国特色的小礼物,客户一般都比较喜欢。记得附赠贺卡!
或者拍一段有意思的短视频,视频祝福往往比文字更直观、更能打动人!国外很多客户对YouTube、TikTok等短视频爱不释手,所以我们也可以来一段!用自己的照片或者动员全公司的员工录制一段客户的专属祝福视频,绝对会留下深刻的印象。
第二种,强烈购买意向客户
1.最好写一封专属的邮件,千万不要套用模板,有针对性一点,比如你可以回顾一下与这位客人之间的一两件印象深刻的事情,或者是他曾经给予你的帮助等等,然后因此致以谢意。最好后面再加上一张感恩节贺卡。
2.组织一次专场促销活动:由于感恩节与疯狂购物季“黑色星期五”紧密相连,不妨利用感恩节做个促销,给老客户一些真正的实惠。把自己的祝福邮件标题变成这样:
Happy Thanksgiving! Special Savings Inside Just for You
Enjoy 10% Off: A Happy Thanksgiving, Indeed
Your Thanksgiving begins here
No need to thank us for these exclusive deals
It’s a time to give thanks
Happy Thanksgiving! We've Got A Treat For You!
When Thanksgiving Day meets Big Sale
第三种,一般意向客户
可以通过WhatsApp等发送简短的祝福短信。例如:
From all of us to all of you at Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving wishes for you and your family.
Joy and fun, wish fulfillment and blessing, come to your home this Thanksgiving!
I am so grateful that I have you all with me on this Thanksgiving Day.
第四种,潜在客户
很多老外会在感恩节或“黑五”期间,在社交平台上发表评论或者照片,这个时候就是提升你们感情的时刻了,一定要记得积极点赞评论多多互动哦!但要注意的是,尽量在这些评论里少提自己的产品,否则让人觉得你的举动虚情假意,效果适得其反。

Every year, the logistics company will complete the delivery 15-20 days before the holiday. Therefore, we can't transport the goods to the port for about a month. Therefore, we recommend that you place an order as soon as possible .
We look forward to your early reply.
