Here are some of the steps I talk about in the guide and podcast

⭐ **Reflect and Refine:** Discover how to review and reflect on your past Q4 performance, utilizing lessons learned to shape a more successful strategy this year.

⭐ **Inventory Excellence:** Tips for selecting and stocking the right products, including the magic Pareto rule of having 80% of your revenue come from 20% of your stock.

⭐ **Price Point Strategy:** Understanding the Good, Better, and Best price points to cater to your diverse customer base effectively.

⭐ **Operational Efficiency:** From warehouse setup to customer service templates, get your logistics aligned for a seamless holiday season.

⭐ **Marketing Mastery:** Techniques to drive traffic, increase your average order value, and keep your audience engaged and shopping.

I've  also created a comprehensive Q4 planning guide to accompany this episode! This guide serves as a checklist to keep you on track and ensure nothing gets overlooked as you prep for the busiest time of the year.
