Source: https://plandalf.com/newsletter/2026-05-may-notes Last modified: 2026-05-12 [← All issues](https://plandalf.com/newsletter) May 12, 2026 # May notes — save offers, save offers, save offers Three things from this month: [save offer](https://plandalf.com/docs/offers/save-offers) patterns we've seen work, a quick note on [coupon expiration](https://plandalf.com/features/coupon-expires-at), and one customer's launch [timer](https://plandalf.com/products/promos) playbook. By [Plandalf Team](https://plandalf.com/authors/plandalf-team) [See Offers](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts)[Read the docs](https://plandalf.com/docs) [ ![The Numi deadline campaigns surface for a timer-backed launch.](https://plandalf.com/images/features/deadline-campaigns/deadline-campaigns-hero-product.png) ](https://plandalf.com/features/deadline-campaigns) Newsletter notes should point to product screens a builder can act on: [Offers](https://plandalf.com/products/checkouts), Timers, [checkout](https://plandalf.com/features/hosted-checkout), [coupons](https://plandalf.com/features/coupons), [deadline campaigns](https://plandalf.com/features/deadline-campaigns), [integrations](https://plandalf.com/integrations), and [Automations](https://plandalf.com/products/automations). Three things this month. ## 1\. Save offers that actually work The pattern we see most often: don’t just discount. Pair the discount with a _reason_ — pause, plan switch, or [feature gating](https://plandalf.com/features/gates) that the customer was likely missing. The discount-only flow trains customers to cancel periodically to get the deal. [Save offers in the docs →](https://plandalf.com/docs/offers/save-offers) ## 2\. Coupon expiration ≠ campaign end A [coupon](https://plandalf.com/features/coupons) that expires on the same day your [deadline campaign](https://plandalf.com/features/deadline-campaigns) ends is fine. A coupon that expires _after_ you stop running ads is dead weight in your database. Schedule both at the same time. ## 3\. A launch timer playbook One customer last month ran a five-day launch window. The interesting part: the same [Timer](https://plandalf.com/products/promos) deadline was visible on the [checkout](https://plandalf.com/features/hosted-checkout), the marketing page, and the [email countdown GIF](https://plandalf.com/features/email-gif-promo). Same deadline everywhere, no confusion, no claim that conflicted with reality. [Timers overview →](https://plandalf.com/docs/timers/overview) * * * Reply with what you’d like to see next month.
