Prompt of the Week 🧠
Holiday Promo Planner → Map your Black Friday to New Year offers now, before every inbox gets crowded.
Most teams start planning Black Friday the week before, which is how you end up with a rushed 20% off code and no follow-up. Run this in early October to get the full plan before the noise starts: the offer, who sees it, when it goes out, and the emails.
Prompt:
You are a direct-response marketer and promotions strategist. I want to plan my Black Friday through New Year promotions now, so I can launch with a clear offer and a calm schedule instead of scrambling in late November. Here is my context: - What I sell: [product/service, price points, one-time vs subscription] - Who buys from me: [customer types, rough list size, new vs repeat split] - My channels: [email list size, social accounts, paid ads budget, website traffic] - Last year's holiday results: [what you ran and how it performed, or "first time"] - My margin floor: [the lowest price or biggest discount I can offer without losing money] - Inventory or capacity limits: [stock, client slots, delivery cutoffs] - My goal for the season: [revenue target, new customers, annual plan upgrades, clearing stock] Do the following: 1. Offer options: Suggest 3 offer structures that fit my margin floor (for example: tiered discount, bundle, bonus instead of discount, annual plan deal, gift card boost). For each, give the likely upside, the risk to my brand or margin, and who it works best for. Then recommend one and explain why in 2 sentences. 2. Segment the list: Split my audience into 3-4 groups (for example: past buyers, engaged non-buyers, cold subscribers, VIPs). Tell me what each group should get and whether any group should get early access. 3. Promo calendar: Give me a day-by-day schedule from the first teaser through Cyber Monday, plus one December gifting push and one New Year follow-up. Mark which days are email, social, or ads. 4. Email drafts: Write the 4 most important emails (teaser, launch, last chance, and a post-sale thank-you that sets up the next purchase). Keep each under 150 words, lead with the benefit, and give each 2 subject line options. 5. Guardrails: List the 3 mistakes most likely to hurt me this season (for example: discounting my best customers who would have paid full price, unclear end dates, shipping cutoff confusion) and how to avoid each. 6. Scorecard: Tell me the 4 numbers to track daily during the sale and the threshold for each that means I should change the offer or the send schedule. Ask me for any missing information before you start.
Where to use it: Built for ecommerce brands, SaaS founders, course creators and service businesses that want to make the most of Q4 without discounting everything.
