The read sends the viewer to a store, with a reason to come in that month.
What a retailer can copy
- Book a channel monthly and change the reason each month: a sale, a new store, a free item.
- Point the read at a place and a date the viewer can act on.
- Keep the channels that sell, and drop the rest after a few months.
