Offers Grid / Advent Calendar

The Offers Grid Block is a versatile feature in LOOP designed to help you create engaging, time-sensitive campaigns. It's perfect for initiatives like advent calendars, countdown offers, or daily promotional reveals.

(note this is sped up 30% but if you'd like the original that's here on Loom)

Overview

The Offers Grid Block is ideal for seasonal campaigns (advent calendars, holiday savings, summer specials), daily reveals, and adding interactive engagement to campaigns.

Key Features

• Daily Offers with Customisable Reveal Options: Add individual offers tied to specific dates and times. Choose whether past offers remain accessible or are greyed out.
• Themes and Animations: Add sparkle effects, transitions, and backgrounds to align with your campaign theme.
• Interactivity: Users can click offers to reveal more details via a modal or navigate to a specific page.
• Responsive Design: Automatically adjusts for mobile and desktop layouts.

Example: 10 Days of Summer Savings

1. Navigate to the CMS and select "Offers Grid Section." Create a title like "10 Days of Summer Savings."
2. Add individual offer items for each day (e.g. Day 1: 20% off food and drink, Day 2: VIP experience upgrade).
3. Set the date and time for each offer to unlock. Choose reveal animations.
4. Use modal pop-ups to show offer details, images, and a "Book Now" button.
5. Add a background image or apply a campaign theme.

Advanced Tips

• Reusing Content: Copy a configured offer item to the clipboard to quickly replicate settings across multiple days.
• Cookies for User Retention: A cookie ensures returning users see previously revealed offers.
• Disable Past Offers: Limit visibility to only the current day's offer in settings.
• Theming for Major Campaigns: Create a separate branded look for large-scale events like Christmas or Halloween.

Settings & Customisation

• Maximum Items Per Row: Defaults to 5 but adjustable.
• Reveal Animation: Options include "door" transitions or other visual effects.
• Backgrounds: Add campaign-specific imagery for a cohesive design.

Use Cases Beyond Offers

The Offers Grid Block can also be used for event schedules (highlight daily activities), PR campaigns (reveal announcements over a timeframe), and educational content (unlock tips day by day).
