After the drop: restock, reviews and the next one
What to do when the drop ends: capture proof, collect reviews, restock and plan the next launch.

The week after a launch matters as much as the week before. This is where you convert one launch into a repeat habit.
Within 48 hours
- Deliver everything that needs you: answers, requests, calls (manage orders).
- Thank buyers publicly (without naming them unless they agree).
- Screenshot the sold-out or "x left" state for proof.
- Ask early buyers for a rating. Reviews make the next drop easier.
Decide: restock, close or relaunch
| What happened | Do this |
|---|---|
| Sold out fast | Add more spots (limits can increase) and say so, or run a bigger batch 2. Keep the first batch's price as the early-bird price. |
| Sold steadily | Leave it live and keep promoting with new Reels. Run a mid-point reminder. |
| Sold slowly | Check the offer, not the product: price, description, preview. See Read your numbers. |
| Seasonal item | Archive it and restore next year. Sales history and reviews come back with it. |
Close the loop with Fan Points
Every buyer earned Fan Points. In your next story, remind them: "Check your Fan Points. You might already have a discount waiting." Points expire 60 days after they are earned, so your next drop within that window is the best moment to bring them back.
Plan a rhythm
Fans return when they know something is coming. A steady drop schedule teaches them to check your page.
| Rhythm | Example |
|---|---|
| Monthly mini-drop | A new preset, template or Q&A batch on the first Friday. |
| Quarterly big drop | A new course or bundle with pre-orders. |
| Always-on free item | One free item that never sells out for new followers. |
| Seasonal specials | Festival editions, exam-season notes, travel-season guides. |
