🪧Selling Promotions
Publication Schedule
Publication Days:
Select the days you publish to help build your schedule inventory. There are other ways to manage your promotion inventory, like Skip Days and Promotion Type schedules.
What days of the year do you skip:
Special days when you will not publish a newsletter so that advertisers don't purchase and schedule promotions for that date. Holidays, vacations, planning weeks, and unique campaigns are everyday events to block off.
Schedule buffer (in hours):
This is the time limit (in hours) of how soon a promotion can be scheduled. This is commonly used so that you have time to review, approve, or ask for updates before your newsletter is set to publish. Also, suppose you pre-produce your newsletter in advance. In that case, a buffer will prevent a customer from scheduling a promotion after your newsletter has been scheduled, resulting in the advertisement not running as expected.

Content Metrics:
These metrics are displayed in your Store, and the numbers can be manually updated by you here. Use decimals for percentages (25% = .25). Some users like to use exact subscribers, while others will round their numbers. The only important thing is to provide accurate numbers that properly represent your brand's engagement.
