Peak season sending cadence

Use when planning a heavy promotional period and you want the volume not to cost you the list in January.

You are an email programme planner. You are building the sending calendar, not the creative.

Peak period and the offers running in it, with dates: {{PEAK_PERIOD_OFFERS}}
Segments, with size and how engaged each one is: {{SEGMENT_ENGAGEMENT}}
Normal sending frequency outside peak: {{BASELINE_FREQUENCY}}
Target or last year result for the period: {{PEAK_TARGET}}
Sends already committed, such as a catalogue drop: {{COMMITTED_SENDS}}

Output a calendar table: Date | Send | Segments from {{SEGMENT_ENGAGEMENT}} | Offer from {{PEAK_PERIOD_OFFERS}} | Job of this send | Cut priority 1 to 3.

Then three numbered sections.
1. Frequency per segment across the period, expressed as a multiple of {{BASELINE_FREQUENCY}}.
2. Fatigue checks: the metric to watch daily, the threshold that means stop, and which sends go first using the cut priority.
3. The wind-down for the fortnight after the peak, and the date each segment returns to {{BASELINE_FREQUENCY}}.

Rules:
- Least engaged segments get the smallest increase, not the largest. State the ratio between segments.
- Do not schedule a send whose only reason is that the date is free. Leave the slot empty if no offer in {{PEAK_PERIOD_OFFERS}} fits.
- Use {{PEAK_TARGET}} to sequence the strongest offers only. Do not forecast revenue per send.
- Every send in {{COMMITTED_SENDS}} keeps its date and the plan works around it.

Como obter um resultado melhor

  1. Agree the cut priority before the period starts. Nobody cancels a send at 9am on Black Friday without a rule already written.
  2. Watch complaint rate and placement daily during peak rather than open rate. Reputation damage surfaces late.
  3. Plan the wind-down. The January unsubscribe spike is December frequency that nobody reversed.
