Beautifully designed email, clearly articulates that it's a Cyber Monday sales email They make multiple offers, something that is hard to execute Great use of fonts and graphic design to make it easy to skim and read at a distance (or on your phone without your contacts in). Make promotions clearer to understand, especially if some promotions are add ons or enter to win. Bad promotions will create headaches for your CX team. Too many capital letters for paragraph text makes it hard to read, and understand. Now is the time to give value to loyal followers (not awareness or acquisition), and get them to take action.

What happens during account planning? In short it's a collaborative process when everyone, from the team at Omnium, heads of sales, account management, and customer marketing go over weeks and years of data to drive and execute the strategy for each account (retail store). When one store can have 2500 locations, the strategy of a single SKU can make a big impact, it's about a $1.3M sales opportunity. Turn Strategy into actionPrior to an account planning session, it's easy to talk about what would be nice to do in terms of promotions and prices, but it's not until the account planning actually happens that action can actually be taken. Otherwise you're just guessing and gambling big dollars away. Hone in on each account to see what you can, and should run. Timing is everythingTypically account planning will look at a year of promotions in advance, this could be your fiscal year, the calendar year or even the customer's fiscal year. It's critical to line up your promotions with high seasonality points. If the most shoppers are in the category during Thanksgiving, run your promotions then. More seasonal than you thinkMany products have opposite seasonality, and will come in strong, but finish the year weak. For instance, health products and foods to get healthier typically they do well at the start of the year because people want to undo the unhealthy habits at the start of the year. You want to avoid running promotions when nobody is buying in your category. Hedge Your RisksSpending $100,000 on an event can be expensive, work with your retailers to come up with variable rate or blended rates. This mitigates your risk if you run a promotion but environmental factors make it harder to sell. The best tool you haveHistorical data is the best friend you have. Looking backwards at how products and promotions have run, will be the best tool for predicting the future.

When you walk the grocery store, you always see the same products. Why is that? It might be easy to ignore when launching a new product, but most products that are launched, don't make it. Your favourite brands probably started out with one product, and even if you do succeed, it's very hard to replicate that. Analytics before launchesAs much as we want to launch the next best item in a category, which is why it's important to use the analytics and numbers to lower expectations and set budgets accordingly. Other things to consider before launching a product are the previous attempts to launch in the category. Even if you do everything right, you may only have a 5% chance of success. Plan for 0% marginThis comes from the CEO of Wild Planet, Terry Hunt, if you are putting revenue into the plan, plan for 0% margin. Your sales team still has a number to hit, but if it is a flop, that's what you planned for. Any profit, no matter how small is exceeding your plan. DTC launches are also risk free environments, especially in small batches. There's always a leap of faithNo matter what you do, you can't predict the future. Even when you do everything right you can still flop, you need actual sales data to predict what will happen. Velocity in the first 13 weeks is what will determine what your sales look like. Promotions and Bursts of SalesPromotions have a quick burst of sales, but it's short lived. Over time, more promotions will lead to more sales because customers are used to seeing your promotions but that takes time.
