Confirm current product prices, stock quantities and Shopify URLs. 2. Verify the discovery-box varieties and any missing product specifications intended for publication. 3. Create the five gift-guide collections or landing-page sections. 4. Configure the three catalogue bundles without discounts unless a genuine approved promotional price is supplied. 5. Build product-assignment copy and comparison navigation. 6. Add cross-sells to relevant product and cart surfaces. 7. Produce Shopify, email, Instagram and Pinterest campaign assets. 8. Add conditional fulfilment messaging and the 18 December deadline wording. 9. Test the complete customer journey on desktop and mobile. 10. Conduct final evidence and pricing audit before launch. QA before publication: Check every product name, weight, sample quantity, caffeine claim, dishwasher-safe statement, regular price, bundle calculation, free-shipping threshold, UK-only shipping restriction, stock count, dispatch wording and 18 December 2026 deadline. Test all product and category links. Confirm no unsupported health, organic, popularity, scarcity, savings or guaranteed-delivery language appears. Review image alt text, contrast, heading hierarchy, button clarity and mobile layouts. Confirm return wording has completed required legal review. During campaign: Recheck stock before featuring individual products or bundles, particularly the Ceramic infuser mug because its supplied inventory is the lowest at 35 units. Remove or revise merchandising when products sell out or fulfilment conditions change. Reconfirm prices before each email send. Do not continue deadline-led language after 18 December 2026. Update delivery messaging if operational information changes, and never convert expected dispatch into a delivery guarantee.
