In this episode, we talk through prepping for Q4 in e-commerce, especially Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

We share experiences of hitting million-dollar sales days and stressed the importance of preparation.

We discuss the differences between high-ticket and low-ticket dropshipping, noting that high-ticket items have fewer but more substantial sales.

To maximize Q4 you need solid offers and proactive supplier communication. We also covered tactical advice like early ad setup, email marketing, and bundling products to create value.
