BFCM Email Campaign Planner

Week wise Black Friday and Cyber Monday email campaign action planner.

We avoid Saturdays/Sundays and region-aware holidays for task due dates (not for the BF/CM send dates).

How to use BFCM Control Panel?

1) Enter the basics

Provide Black Friday, Cyber Monday, your Timezone, and the owner names. No complex inputs.

  • We build a Weekly plan, 6-weeks early from your Black Friday date and add Cyber Monday as a main send.
  • All task due dates auto-avoid weekends & regional holidays based on your timezone.
  • Tasks include a plain-English Why and beginner-friendly hints from industry checklists. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

2) Click “Plan my BFCM Campaign”

See your dashboard with KPIs (readiness, due tasks), the next 3 actions, and key dates. A compact KPI row and quick actions are also shown right before the Crisis Plan for fast decision-making.

3) Work week-by-week

  • Weeks 1–2: Deliverability Foundations – SPF, DKIM, DMARC; baseline seed; avoid DNS changes.
  • Weeks 2–3: List Hygiene & Verification – real-time verification, one-time list verification, typo suppressions.
  • Weeks 3–4: Creative Optimization – subject lines & sender; full design QA across devices/clients.
  • Weeks 4–5: Volume Ramping & Timing – +50% ramps, Sunday evening tests, document winners.
  • Weeks 5–6: Final Prep & Testing – 48h seed, codes, landing pages, inventory, GO/NO-GO.

4) If something goes wrong

Open the Crisis Plan: pause by domain, check Postmaster, fix root cause methodically, and send to engaged-only while recovering.
