The Power of Exclusivity: Driving Early Back-to-School Sales

Read time 1 min Video Artificial Intelligence

[00:00] Let’s look at back-to-school. You know, I’ve seen success in campaigns that were specifically geared around, you know, messaging that was “shop early, exclusively for students.”

[00:13] And, you know, this provides a couple of benefits in that moment. First, it gives that cohort something that’s unique just for them, you know, at least for a period of time, and you know, it’s time-bound.

[00:23] The nice thing too is, like, when you have these shop-early campaigns, your assortment’s typically the most full. You have fewer broken size runs, fewer out-of-stocks, etc. So a little side benefit there, too, for the shopping cohorts that are given an offer in that moment.
