## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I run [YOUR BUSINESS, e.g. a neighborhood bakery]. My slowest times are [SLOW TIMES, e.g. Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons]. My regulars are mostly [YOUR REGULARS, e.g. parents after school pickup]. I can spend up to [WEEKLY BUDGET, e.g. $100] a week on this.

Give me five low-cost ideas to bring more people in at those times. For each idea:
- The idea in one sentence
- A short, catchy tagline
- A ready-to-post social media caption
- Roughly what it costs and what I need to prepare
- One simple number to track so I know if it worked

Skip deep discounts that teach people to wait for sales. Favor ideas that bring new people in or get regulars to bring a friend. Then tell me which idea to try first and why.
```

## Step by step
