What it does
In a big sale, ads are what runs out first. You can have the budget and the stock and still be stuck, because a single ad can only take so much spend before it tires. Planning from the budget alone leaves a gap. This skill works backwards from your peak daily spend. It finds what one ad carried last year, divides your target by that figure to get the number of winners you need, and shows why you need many more ads than winners, because spend spreads across a long tail of ads. It then gives a mix by ad type, rules for offer ads, a phase plan from teaser to last 24 to 48 hours, and how to read results when the sale distorts them. It also checks what you can really make, since 100 or more ads is not for a solo founder.

- Your peak daily spend target for the sale
- Last year's spend by ad (the top 50 ads is enough)
- The formats you can produce
- Your offer and its end date
- Your Meta page setup (optional)

You get
- The number of winning ads and total ads you need
