The clearance-stacking exclusion is the detail that protects margin: a blanket “25% off everything” that also legally applies to items already at 40% off can turn your best week of the year into a loss on a chunk of inventory. State the exclusion plainly rather than hoping nobody checks.

Plan the Black Friday landing page and sale structure for this store: STORE: [Northbound Outdoor Gear], typical monthly revenue [$140,000] PLANNED DISCOUNT: [25% off site-wide] CATALOG NOTE: [about 15% of the catalog is already marked down as clearance, 10-40% off] LIMITED-QUANTITY ITEMS: [200 units of a discontinued tent model at a steep 50% off, true doorbuster] SALE WINDOW: [Thursday midnight through Monday night, Cyber Monday included] Produce a plan covering: 1. The discount structure: apply the 25% to regular-priced items, but explicitly exclude items already on clearance from stacking an additional 25% on top, since stacking both discounts on a product already marked down 40% would sell it near or below cost. Instead, cap clearance items at their existing markdown or a small additional token discount, and state this rule clearly enough that a shopper who notices clearance items aren't getting the full 25% doesn't feel misled. 2. Landing page structure: hero section with the headline offer and dates, a doorbuster section for the 200 discontinued tents with honest "while supplies last, no rainchecks" language rather than a countdown timer that resets or fake stock counters, since customers increasingly recognize manufactured urgency and it damages trust with repeat buyers more than it drives incremental sales. 3. A plan for what happens when the 200 tents sell out mid-sale: swap that section for a waitlist signup for restock or a similar alternative product, instead of leaving a dead link or a sold-out page with no next step. 4. A note on the returns policy for the sale period: state upfront whether the standard 30-day return window still applies during Black Friday or whether it's shortened, since ambiguity here creates a spike in "can I return my Black Friday order" tickets in mid-December, and it's cheaper to answer it in the sale copy than in support. Replace the bracketed store name, discount, and inventory numbers with your own.
