BFCM Offer Planner
/bfcm-plan Uses last year's November data and current stock to propose a Black Friday to Cyber Monday offer calendar you can run with Sidekick.
Add opens your Shopify admin with the skill prefilled; review it there and click Add. If nothing appears, use Copy and follow the steps below.
The skill
Suggested shortcut:/bfcm-plan Plan my Black Friday to Cyber Monday offers. ## Steps 1. Pull sales by product for 1 to 30 November last year and the same window this year so far, if any. Note last year's top 10 by revenue and by units, and the daily sales curve around the BFCM weekend. 2. Check current inventory for the top 20 products and flag anything with fewer than 30 days of cover at last year's November rate. 3. Check cost per item where set. Group products into three tiers: headline (deep discount, high stock, strong margin), supporting (moderate discount), and protect (no discount: low stock or thin margin). 4. Propose a calendar: early-access offer for the VIP segment, Black Friday, the weekend, Cyber Monday, and one extension day. For each day: which tier, discount %, whether code or automatic, and a one-line email subject. 5. List the exact Sidekick tasks to create it, in order, so I can run them one by one. ## Output The three tiers as a table with stock and margin notes, the day-by-day calendar, then the ordered task list. Do not create any discount, collection or email in this skill. If last year's data is missing, build the plan from the last 90 days and say so.
