    Get ready to make the most of the next 6 weeks AND make your business even easier next year. Today is a special re-release of one of my favorite episodes from the vault - the pop up podcast from last holiday season that is no longer available to download!

    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.

Bite size info for businesses

I am a new listener, but the amount of quality information in this podcast is amazing! Kristin makes things understandable and breaks things down so larger tasks actually seem doable. Any business folks- this podcast is for you!

Practical ways to put thought to action

First, I am so inspired by Kristin’s Bocu business. How cool! She has walked the walk and makes small business ownership less scary. Kristin gave me the push to look at my trends and put ideas into real plans. I was able to see what was previously most effective and how make a plan to recreate those highs.

ShopLinna ,

Such a wealth of info!

I love this podcast! I’ve blazed through every episode to date, and have gained so much perspective and resources along the way. Very excited for this new push and so happy Kristin is continuing to create new episodes.
