The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me run a sale that's clear and doesn't annoy regular customers. What's on sale: [products or services] The discount: [e.g. 20% off, buy one get one half price] Dates: [start and end] Why I'm running it: [e.g. clearing old stock, quiet month] Who I want to reach: [e.g. regulars, new customers] Channels: [e.g. email, Instagram, window poster] Exclusions or conditions: [details] Ask me up to 3 short questions first. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Sale wording for each channel, with the dates clear. 2. Short, plain terms and conditions. 3. A message for regulars, perhaps giving them early access. 4. A plan: what to post before, during and on the last day. 5. A reminder to make sure "was" prices are genuine and to check the official guidance on pricing. Clear, honest and not pushy, UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
