Green Monday 2026 ad plan: six product clips and captions for $3.18
Green Monday falls on Dec 14, 2026, 71 days after today. A six-clip Wan 3.0 plan with captions and one Timeline render costs $3.18 on Sume; the maths inside.
Green Monday is usually the second Monday of December, which makes it Dec 14, 2026, 71 days after Oct 4. A plan of six 5-second Wan 3.0 clips at 480p, captions on each, and one Timeline render costs about $3.18 on Sume. That is the cheap end of a late-season push.
The arithmetic
Wan 3.0 at 480p lists at $0.0625 per second, so a 5-second clip is $0.3125. Captions are $0.20 per job for videos up to 60 seconds. The Timeline render is $0.10 per output minute, rounded up.
| Line | Unit price | Count | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wan 3.0 480p, 5 s | $0.3125 | 6 | $1.875 |
| Video captions | $0.20 | 6 | $1.20 |
| Timeline render, 1 min | $0.10 | 1 | $0.10 |
| All in | $3.175 |
Why 480p for a Monday sale
Most of the traffic is on a phone and the clip is a hook, not a hero. If one clip wins, regenerate only that one at higher resolution: Wan 3.0 at 1080p is $1.25 for the same 5 seconds.
A schedule that fits the date
Draft the six clips in the week of Nov 30 so the winner is known before Dec 7. Burn the sale line in with caption cues instead of baking text into the generation; the text stays editable and you pay the $0.20 once per cut.
- Week of Nov 30: six drafts, pick the strongest two
- Dec 7: caption and Timeline-render the winner
- Dec 13: render the final 9:16 and a 1:1 variant
What to verify yourself
The date rule for Green Monday comes from retail convention rather than a Sume document. Confirm it for your own storefront before you schedule spend.
