We conducted a pilot campaign and the outcome was really good. Our boss decided to do it on a weekly basis, these days all of our team were doing this regular campaign, this is online, and we need to fix some bugs, and need to optimize the whole customer experience. We also need to pick some flash sale products to calculate an acceptable margin, just everything come we need to figure it out in a weekly basis.  Our team we had 6 members, but one left so now we are short handed and have to take on additional responsibilities.
