Are you running a Black Friday special with your business this year? Are you feeling the pressure that if you want to be a "real business," you need to jump into the Black Friday insanity? Black Friday can be a fantastic tool that can build your business, but for most businesses, I see out there, it's a horrible way to lose a lot of revenue because you give away the farm because that is what everyone else is doing. If you choose to do Black Friday there needs to be an actual strategy behind it, or otherwise, you could end up like our salon back in 2014, where we sold tons of gift cards and lash series in November but then made very little money in January and February when no one had to pay for their service. In today's episode, we share our thoughts on whether Black Friday is a good idea for your business and hope to get you to think through your strategy before you give away your store just to get a bump in sales for a day or week.LASHCON REPLAY IS HERE FOR A LIMITED TIMEDid you miss LASHCON this year?

These three days with us and Strategies will be the most impactful investment you'll make in your business in 2024. Why do I say that? It's because Tussanee and I took a similar class back in 2013 called Incubator, and it gave us the roadmap for success with our salon. We so believe in this course and hope you'll join us in January in Austin so you can get that same road map we got.
