        self.off_peak_discount = off_peak_discount
    
    def optimize(self, model, constraints, current_date):
        # Custom seasonal logic
        if current_date in self.peak_seasons:
            return self.peak_optimization(model, constraints)
        else:
            return self.off_peak_optimization(model, constraints)
```
