Marketing

How they work together

Imagine you are launching a new women's zircon bracelet:

1. Marketing Strategist
→ Identifies the target customer and campaign strategy.

2. Pricing Analyst
→ Determines the price and promotional margin.

3. Product Marketing Specialist
→ Defines how the bracelet should be presented and what makes it attractive.

4. Brand Specialist
→ Ensures the presentation matches SaharaKart's brand.

5. Content Creator
→ Creates photos, Reels, videos and graphics.

6. Social Media Specialist
→ Publishes and manages the content.

7. Digital Marketing Specialist
→ Distributes the campaign across digital channels.

8. Performance Marketing Specialist
→ Runs paid ads and measures purchases, CPC, CPA and ROAS.

9. Sales Promotion Specialist
→ Adds an appropriate offer to encourage immediate purchase.

10. PR Specialist
→ Gets influencers, fashion communities or media pages involved.

11. Marketing Manager
→ Coordinates everything and checks whether the overall campaign is achieving its business objectives.

For a small fashion-accessories business

You do not need 11 employees.

One person can perform several roles:

Marketing Manager + Strategist
→ Overall planning

Digital + Performance Marketing
→ Ads, Google, Meta, TikTok, analytics

Brand + Product Marketing
→ Brand positioning and product presentation

Social Media + Content Creator
→ Reels, photos, posts, Stories

Pricing Analyst
→ Can initially be handled by the owner using a pricing spreadsheet

PR + Sales Promotion
→ Can initially be handled by the marketing manager

So your practical structure could be:

SaharaKart Marketing Department

Marketing Manager
↓
Strategy & Product Marketing
↓
Digital + Performance Marketing
↓
Social Media + Content Creation
↓
PR + Sales Promotion
↓
Pricing & Analytics

Build a modern, responsive web application called “SaharaKart Marketing Workflow” for managing marketing work across different roles and showing clearly which tasks are DONE, IN PROGRESS, UNDONE, BLOCKED, or WAITING.

1. Main objective

The website should demonstrate how different marketing roles work together from product idea → launch → advertising → sales → analysis.

Use a workflow/kanban/dashboard system where every task has:

  • Task name
  • Department/role
  • Assigned person
  • Status
  • Priority
  • Start date
  • Deadline
  • Dependency
  • Notes
  • Attachments
  • Completion percentage
  • Previous task
  • Next task

Statuses:

🟢 DONE
🔵 IN PROGRESS
⚪ UNDONE
🟠 WAITING
🔴 BLOCKED

Allow users to change task status easily.

4. Important dependency system

The website must show that one person's work can depend on another person's completed work.

Example:

Marketing Strategy ↓ Pricing ↓ Product Marketing ↓ Brand Approval ↓ Content Creation ↓ Social Media ↓ Digital Marketing ↓ Performance Marketing ↓ Sales Promotion ↓ PR ↓ Marketing Manager Review

However, allow tasks to run in parallel where appropriate.

For example:

Content Creation and Pricing

can happen at the same time after the initial product strategy.

Show dependencies visually with arrows.

If a required previous task is UNDONE, show:

🔴 BLOCKED — Waiting for previous task


5. Main dashboard

Create a professional dashboard containing:

Project Overview

Women's Zircon Bracelet Launch

Progress:

████████░░ 80%

Cards:

  • Total Tasks: 50
  • Done: 32
  • In Progress: 8
  • Undone: 7
  • Blocked: 3

Department status

Department Progress Status
Strategy 100% DONE
Pricing 100% DONE
Product Marketing 80% IN PROGRESS
Brand 100% DONE
Content 60% IN PROGRESS
Social Media 40% IN PROGRESS
Digital Marketing 30% IN PROGRESS
Performance Marketing 0% UNDONE
Sales Promotion 20% IN PROGRESS
PR 0% UNDONE
Management 50% IN PROGRESS

Make this table interactive.


6. Kanban board

Create columns:

UNDONE | IN PROGRESS | WAITING | BLOCKED | DONE

Each task should appear as a draggable card.

Example:

UNDONE

□ Create TikTok campaign

IN PROGRESS

🔵 Product photography

WAITING

🟠 Waiting for final price

BLOCKED

🔴 Facebook campaign — waiting for tracking

DONE

🟢 Target customer research

Allow drag-and-drop between columns.


7. Workflow/Gantt view

Create another page called:

Marketing Workflow

Show the entire project horizontally as a timeline.

Example:

Strategy ━━━━━━━━━━ DONE

Pricing ━━━━━━━━ DONE

Content ━━━━━━ IN PROGRESS

Social ━━━━ UNDONE

Ads ━━ UNDONE

PR ━━ UNDONE

Management ━━━━━━━━ IN PROGRESS


8. Individual role pages

Create a page for each role.

Example:

Content Creator

Assigned Tasks: 8

Done: 4
In Progress: 2
Undone: 2

Tasks:

  • Product photos
  • Bracelet Reel
  • TikTok video
  • Product banner
  • Instagram Story

Show:

What I received from previous role

What I need to complete

What I deliver to next role

This should make the collaboration between roles easy to understand.


9. “How We Work Together” page

Create a visual organizational workflow:

Marketing Manager ↓ Strategy & Product Marketing ↓ Pricing & Analytics ↓ Brand ↓ Content Creation ↓ Social Media ↓ Digital Marketing ↓ Performance Marketing ↓ Sales Promotion + PR ↓ Customer ↓ Sales Data ↓ Marketing Manager

Show feedback arrows from:

Sales Data → Analytics → Strategy → Marketing

This demonstrates that marketing is a continuous cycle rather than a one-time process.


10. Small-business mode

Because SaharaKart is initially a small business, add a toggle:

Team Mode

and

Small Business Mode

In Small Business Mode, combine roles:

Marketing Manager + Strategist

Strategy + management

Digital + Performance Marketing

Digital advertising + analytics

Brand + Product Marketing

Brand positioning + product presentation

Social Media + Content Creator

Photos + videos + social publishing

Pricing + Analytics

Pricing + profit analysis

PR + Sales Promotion

Influencers + offers

Display:

11 professional functions → 6 practical people/role groups


11. Task creation

Add a button:

+ Add Task

Form:

Task name
Role
Description
Priority
Start date
Deadline
Dependency
Status
Assigned person
Expected output

After creating the task, automatically place it into the correct workflow.


12. Task completion

When a user marks a task DONE:

  1. Record completion date.
  2. Update project percentage.
  3. Check dependent tasks.
  4. Automatically change eligible WAITING tasks to UNDONE/READY.
  5. Notify the responsible role.
  6. Update the dashboard.
  7. Record activity in an activity log.

Example:

Content Creator completed “Product Reel”.

Then:

Social Media → Ready to publish Reel.


13. Notifications

Create notifications such as:

🟢 Task completed
🔵 New task assigned
🟠 Waiting for approval
🔴 Task blocked
⚠️ Deadline approaching


14. Analytics page

Create charts for:

  • Sales
  • Revenue
  • Marketing spending
  • CPC
  • CPA
  • CTR
  • Conversion rate
  • ROAS
  • Profit
  • Orders
  • Average order value

Include date filters:

Today
7 Days
30 Days
90 Days
Custom


15. Technology

Build the application using:

  • React
  • Vite
  • Node.js
  • Express.js
  • MySQL
  • Sequelize
  • REST API
  • Plain CSS

Do not use Tailwind CSS.

Use a clean MVC architecture.

Suggested database models:

User Role Department Project Task TaskDependency Product Campaign CampaignMetric Notification ActivityLog


16. UI design

Create a professional Saudi/GCC e-commerce business dashboard.

Use:

  • Responsive desktop/mobile design
  • Sidebar navigation
  • Dashboard cards
  • Tables
  • Kanban board
  • Workflow diagrams
  • Progress bars
  • Status badges
  • Modal forms
  • Search
  • Filters
  • Sorting
  • Dark/light mode

Navigation:

Brand:

SaharaKart

Subtitle:

Marketing Workflow & Business Operations


17. Important rule

Do not make this merely a static organizational chart.

The website must function as an actual work-management system.

Every role must have:

INPUT → TASK → OUTPUT → NEXT ROLE

and every task must have:

UNDONE → IN PROGRESS → DONE

with optional:

WAITING / BLOCKED

The system should clearly answer:

Who is doing the work?

What are they doing?

What is finished?

What is unfinished?

What is blocked?

Who is waiting for whom?

What happens next?

How does the work contribute to the final business objective?
