Checklists for Seasonal & Campaign Onboarding

Checklists for Seasonal & Campaign Onboarding

Prepare users for time-sensitive events like holiday sales, annual planning cycles, or promotional campaigns. Deliver just-in-time training that gets users ready to execute when the moment arrives.

The Challenge

Seasonal events and campaigns require users to perform tasks they only do periodically, like setting up holiday promotions, configuring year-end reports, or launching time-sensitive campaigns. Users forget the process between occurrences and scramble to figure it out each time.

The Transformation

Before

Users scramble before each seasonal event, searching through old emails and documentation to remember how to set up campaigns. Many miss deadlines, make errors, and don't leverage the full capabilities available to them.

After

Users receive proactive, just-in-time guidance before each season, follow structured checklists to set up campaigns correctly, and execute with confidence because they have step-by-step support throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should seasonal guidance appear?

It depends on the complexity of the preparation required. For major events like Black Friday, start 2-3 weeks early. For simpler seasonal tasks, 3-5 days of advance notice is usually sufficient.

Can I reuse seasonal content year over year?

Yes. Create seasonal content once and schedule it to recur annually. Update it each year based on new features or feedback from the previous cycle, but the core structure can be reused.

How do I handle users in different time zones or hemispheres?

Use segmentation to deliver seasonal content based on the user's locale or region. Users in the Southern Hemisphere will see summer campaign guidance when Northern Hemisphere users see winter guidance.
