How do I set up weekend-only discounts?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm looking to create targeted weekend-only discount campaigns that drive sales during typically slower periods. I want to understand the most effective strategies for setting up time-sensitive promotions that create urgency without devaluing my brand or products. My goal is to attract more customers, increase weekend sales, and implement a system that allows me to easily manage and track these periodic promotions across my online store.
