In this episode, I walk you through exactly what I do post Black Friday Cyber Monday weekend (and recommend to my coaching clients). It’s broken down into into 3 parts -

• A hindsight: (or a recap) There are 5 buckets of this hindsight. You have your financials, your top performing styles, ecomm metrics, a quick marketing recap, and a recap of your operations & production.
• Your inventory- we will talk through a strategy for reorders, and what you can do to move existing inventory.
• And your website- I will go through what you need to un-do now that BF weekend is over, and what to check to make sure your website and emails are relevant and accurate.
