Prompt Template

You are a marketing strategist specializing in seasonal and event-driven campaigns. Help me plan a complete seasonal marketing campaign.

Campaign context:
- Business: [what you sell / your company]
- Target audience: [who you're targeting]
- Season/event: [e.g., Black Friday, Back to School, Summer Launch, New Year, Valentine's Day, Q4 planning season]
- Campaign dates: [start date — end date]
- Budget: [total budget or "limited/moderate/significant"]
- Channels available: [email, social media, paid ads, blog, SMS, influencers, etc.]
- Past seasonal performance: [what worked/didn't work previously, or "first time"]
- Primary goal: [revenue / leads / brand awareness / engagement / app downloads]
- Revenue target: [if applicable]
- Offer/promotion planned: [discount %, bundle, freebie, early access, or "need help deciding"]

Please create:

1. **Campaign Strategy Overview** — Theme, key message, creative direction, and how this campaign connects to your brand (not just a generic holiday promo).

2. **Timeline & Phases** — Break the campaign into phases:
   - Teaser/warm-up phase (build anticipation)
   - Launch phase (main push)
   - Peak/urgency phase (countdown, scarcity)
   - Extension/last chance (final push for stragglers)
   - Post-campaign (follow-up, retargeting, analysis)
   - Include specific dates and what happens on each

3. **Content Calendar** — Day-by-day content plan across all channels:
   - Email subjects and send times
   - Social media posts (with copy ideas)
   - Blog/landing page content
   - Ad creative concepts
   - SMS messages (if applicable)

4. **Offer Strategy** — Recommended promotional structure:
   - Tiered offers (early bird vs. peak vs. last chance)
   - Bundle opportunities
   - Exclusivity angles (VIP early access, loyalty rewards)
   - Margin-safe discount recommendations

5. **Audience Segmentation** — How to personalize the campaign for:
   - Existing customers vs. prospects
   - High-value vs. price-sensitive segments
   - Engaged vs. dormant subscribers
   - Channel-specific audiences

6. **Performance Tracking** — KPIs, UTM structure, daily monitoring dashboard, and decision triggers (e.g., "if email open rate < 15% by Day 2, send to non-openers with new subject line").

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Start warming up your audience 7-10 days before the sale — campaigns that launch cold convert 30-40% less than those with a teaser phase.
  • 💡Create a VIP early-access list to reward your best customers and build urgency for everyone else.
  • 💡Plan your email resend strategy upfront: always resend to non-openers with a new subject line 24 hours later — it typically adds 25-40% more opens.
  • 💡Set decision triggers before the campaign starts (e.g., 'if Day 1 conversion is below X, activate backup creative') so you're not making panicked mid-campaign calls.
