There’s a lot to love about the holidays: Spending time with loved ones, enjoying as many holiday cookies as you want—with no judgment!—and the opportunity to give back to your community.
And as business owners, the holidays present even more opportunities: To help and inspire others with your values, messaging and products, and, yes, to increase your sales with holiday promotions.
There’s a reason why Black Friday through Christmas brings in 50-100% more revenue than the other shopping days throughout the rest of the year.
People are warmed up to buy, and with just a little bit of planning, you can get finish off the year with some big results.

I am intimidated by the need to *sell*…but if I won’t *sell* (market), then why spend all the time creating the product? I anticipate that this Marketing Template will supply some of the much needed “courage,” as well as copy ideas. Thanks so much, Pam.

Heidi, you are so much farther along than you give yourself credit for. I try to remember that I’m not selling, I’m connecting people with the resources they need to make their lives better. If you’re acting in your customers’ best interest, you’re coming from the right place, not an “icky” place. Keep me posted!
