Black Friday is one of the biggest days of the year for most businesses, and with that comes a lot of complications. When do you start building hype, how do you promote, and where should you be showing up? It’s a lot to think about — so we want to make it super simple for you and give you a promotional calendar you can steal and use yourself.

We’re walking you through exactly what to do for your Black Friday promotion: How many emails to send, what you should say, when you should send them, and even providing a case study from a product-based business. We’re also going to show you ways to take things to the next level and get the most out of your holiday promotions!

You can use this calendar just as it is, but there’s also one thing you can do to take it to the next level! Every business is different, and what we want is to see you test and try, customizing this to your business, your customers, and your schedule. By applying some strategy to this, you can have a successful Black Friday without (at least some of) the added stress.

On a customer’s journey, there is a lot of decision making: What to buy, where to get it from, how much are they willing to pay – the decisions are endless! So what happens when a customer has said “yes” to you every stop along the way, but they stop short of hitting that final purchase button and abandon their cart because you’re charging for shipping?

The customer experience is full of moments of indecision, and your job as a Product Boss is to remove as many of those moments as you can and create a shopping experience that’s as smooth as possible. And nothing makes a potential customer abandon their cart faster than seeing extra costs at checkout, like shipping!

Shipping is the #1 reason why customers change their mind at checkout, so what can you do to ensure they complete their purchase? We’re sharing our best strategies with you to ensure your customers click that purchase button.

Finding new customers can be tough, but what if we told you that your existing customers are actually who you should be focusing on right now?

Studies show that repeat customers not only usually spend more than 30% more, but they are also more likely to continue buying from you! On today’s episode, we talk about repeat customers—how to make sure your current customers stick with you, clever ways to capture your customers’ attention, and ways to (re)connect with your customers after they’ve made a purchase.

As always, share your ideas and wins with us at @theproductboss on Instagram. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Stories can be a very underutilized portion of social media, especially on IG. When you’re trying to boost your sales, it can leave you guessing as to how to use them properly! Luckily, we’ve got a trick that will help you not only fill those stories, but also help you make more sales! Here’s a strategy we are seeing our students use—and the best part is that it doesn’t matter how many Instagram followers you have.

This strategy is what we call “story sales”—a great way to keep your customers engaged and buying. The basic idea is this: post a sequence of photos in order for you to sell your goods on your Instagram stories. Include your prices and show what is available and accessible to your customers. Since stories only stay up for 24 hours, sometimes you need to repost the photos, but that’s pretty much it! 

There are a few reasons this works–one is that idea of a “scarcity mindset”. Your potential customers will worry that inventory is dwindling or the sale’s timer is running out, and it may just push them over the fence to make that purchase.

This can be a great system for those who don’t want to show their face, for someone looking to get a bit of a cash injection for the holidays, or just someone wanting to experiment with some different tactics (after all, nobody can see what happens behind the closed doors of your DMs!)  Try it out—it may just be the perfect strategy for your business.

We’ve all seen those businesses that seemingly come out of nowhere, and before you know it they’re making the news and raking in millions of dollars. But just because you’ve only just heard of them doesn’t mean they’re an overnight success—you’re just not seeing the years of work that came before.

Katy Mimari is the founder and CEO of Caden Lane, a direct-to-consumer baby product brand, and it is incredible what she’s built this company into all by herself. While she now has an amazing team behind her she worked solo for years, and now the company is very close to earning nine figures.

She shares stories and gives advice from her own personal experiences around:

• Why businesses should not hire early on
• Creating an unforgettable experience with your product
• What she’d do differently if she started a business today
• Being open to the organic evolution of your business
• Feeling the fear and doing it anyways

From feeling the rush of a single online order to making more in a day than you used to in a year makes for quite the journey, and it doesn’t necessarily happen overnight. But if you have patience, take controlled risks, and keep pushing forward, it’s possible for all of you out there to achieve this as well!

Patrice Washington is known as the Money Maven. She’s an investor in Lite Pink, a fully female-funded product business. She spoke at the founder of Lite Pink Lori Harder’s home about how people can define their wealth and bring purpose to their lives and their business.

She learned, through her own financial journey of building a 7-figure business straight out of college, that building and running a business won’t provide happiness if you’re having to sacrifice your health and well-being in the process. She also learned that in order to redefine your wealth, you have to redefine parts of yourself. That’s how she came up with her Six Pillars of Wealth.

Patrice defines the Six Pillars of Wealth as:

• Fit: the importance of being mentally and physically fit
• People: creating relationships that matter
• Space: setting up your life to support you
• Faith: believing in something greater
• Work: living your life’s purpose
• Money: achieving the abundance that you desire

We do a deep dive into how leading your life from these pillars is what builds true wealth, and how you can level up these six aspects of your life.

We are SO proud of our Multi-Stream Machine students! So many of them have had major wins and transformed their lives and their businesses, and we want to share some of those stories with you—specifically the journey of where they came from to where they are today!

We’re going to look at Annika of HeyMavens!, who used the money she earned from MSM to pay for IVF and be able to have her baby, and also used the lessons she learned to help her team operate the business seamlessly during her maternity leave. We also spotlight Jelena of Buckaroo Bling and everything she’s been able to accomplish since joining MSM. And third, we take a look back at Emily of Mama Bear Bakery, who used the confidence she gained from MSM to create a plan for her business to be able to take that next step forward.

Whatever size business you have, whatever market you’re in, the strategies you learn in MSM will help you find your path to profit. You’re a scrappy, creative entrepreneur. This path is not for everyone, but we know that you can make it happen. And if you need support along the way, we’re here to help!
