Put real 2026 dates on the plan

Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026; Cyber Monday is Monday, November 30. For a November 27 launch, start the three-week sequence on November 6 and the final-week sequence on November 20.

Write the offer’s start and end time with a time zone. Use actual stock information, include eligibility and delivery details, and send reminders only when they add useful information. If your promotion continues through Cyber Monday, make that end date clear from the beginning.
