Define your goal and discount budget
Decide what you want to achieve: sell more, attract new customers, or clear inventory. With that clear, calculate how much discount you can give on each product without taking a loss.
Select products for the offer
You don't have to discount everything. Pick a few hook products with eye-catching offers and leave the rest with moderate discounts or bundles.
- Products with good margin that can absorb the discount
- Slow-moving inventory you want to clear
- Star products that attract traffic
- Bundles that raise the average order
Secure your inventory and suppliers
Order merchandise early and confirm delivery times. Nothing hurts a campaign more than selling out on day one. Track how many units you have per offer to limit the promotion.
Prepare your catalog ahead of time
Update prices, show the previous price next to the sale price, and create an offers category. Check photos and descriptions, and activate coupons if you plan to use them. Everything must be ready before you announce.
Communicate in three stages
First build anticipation a few days before, announcing something special is coming. During the sale days, post reminders with your catalog link. At the end, announce only a few hours remain to create urgency.
Organize orders and deliveries
With more volume, your operation gets stretched. Set order cut-off dates, pack ahead what you can, announce shipping times, and reply fast. A bad delivery ruins a good sale.
Measure and build loyalty
Afterwards, review which offers worked, how many new customers arrived, and how much you earned. Invite those new customers to keep buying with news and close attention.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday reward those who prepare: calculated offers, secured inventory, and clear communication.
