Welcome to crunch time!

In our jewelry biz world, these next 16 days are like finals week college or the night before your wedding.

They are make or break.

Just a reminder (but I’m sure you don’t need it) most jewelry businesses generate nearly half of their sales revenue for the year during the holiday season.

That means that if you have no plan in place, or if your plan is to do a mass discount on your entire inventory (don’t!)…

You Need to stop what you’re doing now and listen to this episode.

The Black Friday Trifecta (Black Friday, Small Biz Saturday and Cyber Monday) can make or break your holiday sales season.

So let me help you have your best ever.

Don’t Jump Straight to Discounts

When it comes to Black Friday weekend, most designers decide to offer a discount And that might seem all fine and good in the short term, but what it really ends up doing is getting people accustomed to buying from you at a discount.

Instead of doing a mass markdown promotion, I want you to reframe what you would like to offer and think of this in terms of adding value for your client instead of discounting. I’ll teach you how to do that in the episode!

A Marathon, Not a Sprint

Black Friday Trifecta weekend is just that…a weekend, not one day. I hate to break it to you, but you aren’t done Friday at midnight. If someone does buy your offer on the first day of your promotion, let them know that you’ll be offering a different promotion on each Saturday and Sunday.

You can also use an upsell or downsell to increase your profits. If someone doesn’t take you up on the day one offer, you can downsell that into something that’ less expensive. Or, if they do buy something you can upsell them into adding another item into their cart.

Leverage Technology

Tactics like upselling and down-selling do take some more sophisticated technology. A lot of these functionalities come in a shopping cart platform like Shopify and other popular sites.

Using one of these advance platforms offers you lots of plugins and applications that you can add to your shopping cart functionality The key is to really think it through and know now what your offer or promotion is going to be.
