Good Boy planning tip

Do not choose the product first. Establish the budget per player, understand the player demographic, decide how the gift should be delivered, and then build the product mix around the experience.

Key principle. Do not maximize the number of items. Maximize how valuable and memorable the gift feels to the player.
