Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving and the single biggest online shopping search of the year. Shoppers look for discount codes, doorbusters and gift ideas, and sellers need sale graphics that survive a feed full of them. The pin that works is specific: a named discount, a real price and a product photo that reads at thumbnail size.

rise for your audience. To map several seasons at once, use the seasonal pin planner
