Product timing affects revenue directly. A new product that publishes late misses the traffic from a launch email, and a sale price left live after the promotion ends costs margin. Here are the most common ways merchants use Maestro Products Scheduler to get product timing right.
Product launches
Publish new products the moment marketing goes live.
Flash sales
Start and end a price drop automatically.
Seasonal products
Archive out-of-season products without manual cleanup.
Tag automation
Add and remove sale or campaign tags on schedule.
Sales channels
Move products onto or off a channel for a limited time.
Collections
Reorder a collection for a sale, then restore it.
Product launches
Build the product as a draft with its content and images ready, then use the Draft Helper to schedule the exact moment it publishes. The product goes live in step with your launch email or social post, even outside business hours.
Flash sales and limited-time pricing
Schedule a price decrease to start when the sale begins and a second schedule to return the price to normal when it ends. This removes the risk of a sale price staying live after the promotion is over.
| When | What Maestro changes |
|---|---|
| Friday 12:00 a.m. | Apply the sale price and add the "sale" tag |
| Friday 12:00 a.m. | Move the featured products onto the promoted sales channel |
| Monday 12:00 a.m. | Restore the original price and remove the "sale" tag |
An example schedule. Adjust the times and actions to your own campaign.
Seasonal products
Publish a seasonal product at the start of its season and schedule it to move to draft or archive once the season ends, instead of manually cleaning up the catalog each time.
Tag-driven campaigns
Many stores use tags to drive collections, filtering, and other automations. Tags Scheduling lets you add a campaign tag when it starts and remove it when it ends, so everything that depends on that tag stays accurate automatically.
It makes scheduling product updates and managing tags incredibly easy and flexible. A huge time-saver that keeps everything running smoothly.
