Can you give me an example of how to execute a simple flash sale on social media?

Here’s a complete example: Hold up your product (like a tote bag) and record a quick video on your phone for Instagram. Say something like: ‘Do you ever go shopping? Instead of those plastic bags you feel guilty about, what if you had one of my tote bags? These are awesome for groceries, farmer’s markets, you can leave them in your car, buy a bunch, give them as gifts. They’re a great way to support me as an artist. For the next 14 hours until midnight tonight, all tote bags are 20% off (or buy one get one free). Sale ends at midnight. Thanks for supporting me and have a great weekend.’ Then press publish. That’s it - your sale is done. It’s simple, authentic, and effective.
