Seasonal drop calendars for email and print catalogues, timed to real SA stock windows.
How it works
A catalogue drop is a calendar plus a shortlist, not a PDF dump. We map kids, outdoor, and pantry SKUs to weeks you can actually fulfil.
Season maps for outdoor and garden sit beside school-drop calendars for kids. Mixing those without a plan is how January gets messy.
Print and email share the same photo pack so the story doesnt fork.
Who it’s for
Starter suppliers on this path: Kids & Family Range, Outdoor & Garden Cell, Food & Pantry Desk.
SA notes
SA seasons are not northern-hemisphere templates. Our outdoor maps follow local heat, holidays, and coastal demand.
Gauteng print runs need earlier lock dates when power cuts hit studio weeks. We bake buffer into the calendar.
Durban and Cape Town drops often need humidity-aware pack notes even when the catalogue looks dry.

Kids
This shortlist suits term-start pushes, lunchbox add-ons, and family basics that move around January and mid-year resets. Copy and imagery need age cues, pack counts, and clear sizing so parents are not guessing from a small catalogue tile.

Outdoor
Use this desk for braai tools, hose sets, planters, and patio items that depend on heat, holidays, and weekend traffic. Stock windows matter more than trend language here, especially when bulky lines need courier notes before the drop is designed.

Pantry
Pantry pages work best when best-before dates, case sizes, and storage conditions are checked before photography is locked. Durban and Cape Town packs may need humidity-aware notes on labels and outer packaging, even for dry goods.
