How to run a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale on Whop

You can run Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales on Whop by creating promo codes and letting your customers know by editing your store page.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are great opportunities to boost your sales and you can run sales for them very easily on your whop.

Since you have total control over your product pricing on Whop, it’s super easy to create discounts for special occasions - like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

When thinking of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the main way to run a sale is by creating promo codes. But you'll also want to update your store visuals and let your members know.

To help you, we’ve created a simple checklist for you to prepare for the sale:

1. Create promo codes for your products
2. Add a special image to your store page
3. Let everyone know

It’s that simple - now, let’s see how you can complete your checklist.

Creating promo codes for your products

The first thing we’re going to do is to create promo codes. We’ve covered that in detail before in our Whop promo codes for creators explained guide, but still, let’s go over the basics:

1. While viewing your whop, click the Dashboard button on the left sidebar
2. Click the Promo codes section in your dashboard
3. Click Create promo code at the top right of your screen
4. In the Create promo code popup, enter a code, set its discount percentage (you can set it to a fixed amount, too), adjust other settings to your liking, and click Create

That's it - you just created a promo code. You can now see details like its status and uses in the Promo codes section of your dashboard.

You can click on the promo code to change its settings or click the three-dot menu next to your promo code to copy the code to your clipboard or expire it.

• Tip: Expiring a promo code is irreversible - be cautious when doing so.

Now that you have a promo code, you can boost your sales during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales - great job.

We have two things left on our checklist, so let’s move on.

Adding discount images to your store page and edit your headline

Promo code? Check. Now, it’s time to let your potential new members know that there’s a sale on your products, and the best way to do so is by editing your whop’s store page.

First, let's talk about your headline. The headline and your primary store image are the first things people see when they're looking for new whops on Discover, or visiting your store page.

Adding clear messaging, even if it's just 'Black Friday sale,' to your headline will let your members know you're having a sale - and doing so is quite simple:

1. While viewing your whop, click the Dashboard button on the left sidebar
2. Go to the Products section of your dashboard
3. Click on the product you want to edit the headline of
4. Update the headline under the Product details section in the product editor

You can add images to your product's store page by following these steps:

1. While viewing your whop, click the Dashboard button on the left sidebar
2. Go to the Products section of your dashboard
3. Click on the product you want to add an image to
4. Upload the banner under the Product media section of your product
5. Save the changes

After you save the changes, you and your potential members will be able to see your new banner on your store page.

Announce the sale to your members

There’s one thing left to do - announce your discount to your current members so they will renew their subscriptions. One of the best ways to do this is using the Forums app.

Let’s start by adding the Forums app to your whop:

1. While viewing your whop, click the App store button on the left sidebar to go to the Whop App Store
2. Find the Forums app and click on its Add button
3. Select which products should be able to access the app and click Done

You now have the Forums app in your whop.

Before you post the announcement, let’s adjust two settings of the Forums app. Since the purpose of adding the Forums app is to post an announcement, you don’t want other people to be able to post.

So, let's click on the Settings button at the top right of the Forums app to see its settings.

In the app settings, scroll down until you see the Who can post? And Who can comment? settings. You’ll see other settings, too, and you should adjust them to your liking.

Once you see the two settings, select Only Admins options on both so that only admins of your whop can post and comment on the app.

Once you’re done with all the settings, let’s make a post. In the Forums app, enter a title and the post’s contents at the top of your screen. You can also attach images and GIFs or monetize the post before posting.

After you’re done with the post, click on the Post button to publish the forum post.
