Episode 188: The Time for Black Friday Strategy is Now

By October 14, 2020No Comments

Today I’m giving you my Black Friday predictions and giving you advice on what you need to do to prepare for Black Friday as a small business owner. This year, EVERYTHING is going to be different for the shopping season. A lot of businesses will be closed for in-person shopping and will move everything online. So as a small business owner, how can you compete with the big stores and prep your own business for maximum Black Friday sales? Let’s get into it!

(4:45) These major stores are closing their doors on Thanksgiving.
(6:31) Why you need to focus on the online space.
(8:08) If you are a brick and mortar, pay attention to this!
