Planning your promotions

• What do you want to achieve? Use this to set targets• Plan in advance 2-6 weeks in advance.... not on a Friday arvo• Plan during a peak time for what you are selling• Tie in with our theme calendar• Emails: Find out when emails are sent. Should you launch promotion then• What’s the busiest day for you? Should you start / end promotion on that day• How long should your promotion last? A week? 24 hours? throughout your

seasonal peak?• Ask your publishers advice

Things to be aware of

• Brand protection – work with publishers who appreciate your brand value.

• All your offers are public when live so competitors can respond with campaigns, faster and better.

• Be aware of loop holes - some infamous stories! But can also be of benefit when used for the right reasons.

• Quality vs Quantity• Abuse - but there are prevention methods you should have in

place.• Do vouchers and cashback offer me incremental value?
