Tomorrow is World Toilet Day, which sounds like a joke but is actually a real United Nations-recognized holiday dedicated to global sanitation… and also, let’s be honest, to every marketer who has ever cried in a bathroom stall during Q4.
Some of you will attempt to tie this into a campaign, and honestly? Respect. I can see the CTAs now: “Flush away friction!”, “Don’t let savings go down the drain!”, and “Plunge into Black Friday so aggressively that even your plumber is impressed.” As you can see, these things practically write themselves.
And look, the next couple of weeks are going to be hectic. There’s no way around it. So why not take a tiny moment of relief and peek at some very on-theme, toilet-adjacent emails we dug up? Think of it as a gentle breather before BFCM swirls you into a stress vortex where time and gravity can't escape.
