Understand what this lesson solves
Plan the event-window email and SMS touchpoints from T-14 to T+7 with preheat, VIP access, abandonment recovery, last call, suppression, and post-event care.
A 12-lesson ecommerce event marketing series that turns campaigns into an operating system: event fit, annual calendars, marketplace response paths, offer guardrails, creative calendars, feed readiness, landing pages, media pacing, cultural localization, owned channels, compliance risk, and post-event reuse.
