Objective
This promotional campaign was designed to highlight seasonal menu items while also encouraging holiday retail purchases. The goal was to drive both restaurant visits and online gift sales through a single email experience.

Design Approach
he design uses a clear vertical content flow that guides readers from featured meals to additional promotions and gift products. Large photography establishes visual impact while concise headlines and supporting copy reinforce the offer.

The layout adapts cleanly for mobile devices, maintaining strong readability and clear spacing between sections to support quick scanning.
