# Use cases for filtered blocks

***

### **Time-Sensitive Promotions**

* **Example Block:** Announcement Banner with “Holiday Sale! Enjoy 20% Off All Items Until December 25.”
* **Why It Works:** Automatically schedules promotions to appear and expire, ensuring timely and relevant messaging.

***

### **Daily Deals**
