Black History Month, a U.S. observance that takes place during the month of February each year, is a time to honor Black Americans and all they have contributed to the world. Celebrating Black History Month in your email communications is an excellent chance to recognize and support Black communities and connect with your audience. It's also a good time to let your audience know how you're supporting racial justice initiatives. Here are some email design considerations to keep in mind as you prepare your message.

Black History Month Email Design

Tap Into the Black History Month Theme

Black History Month has a different theme each year, touching on topics such as The Crisis in Black Education, Black Americans and the Vote or The Black Family: Representation, Identity and Diversity. This theme can be a great starting point as you consider what kind of content to include in your Black History Month email. If the theme relates to the industry or niche your business is in, even better: An education company, for example, should have no trouble creating a Black History Month email that incorporates information about the crisis in Black education.

Share Stories

Use your Black History Month email templates to share stories of Black activists, both historical and modern day, who work to make the world a better and more equitable place. You can also use your email to share the stories of remarkable Black leaders from history. Consider highlighting the stories of Black leaders in your company or industry. Remember: Representation matters.

Feature Black Creators

In the month of February, many companies partner with Black-owned businesses or Black creators to launch a special campaign. Whether you join with a Black-owned company to offer a discount on a product bundle, or hire a Black artist to design a new product for your store, consider how you can celebrate and support Black businesses and creators this month. Then design a Black History Month email that promotes their work.
