I’m shocked at this year compared to the last 2-3 years. My city is crippled with inflation on groceries and rent… I’ve even had customers ask for refunds to put towards their bills!

    The post right below this one is talking about record sales. Profits being up 7.5%. What gives ?

    The holiday shopper’s behavior is changing. We are seeing shoppers waiting until later in the season to try and capitalize on deals from overstocked inventory. People are buying down in general. You got to give them a cheaper option before your competitors does

        I have a client that does laser treatments. What they do is holiday events that they host every year along with maybe one event every 2 or 3 months. They offer exclusive pricing at these events and also give bulk discounts for consecutive treatments, along with giveaways and raffle prizes and free drinks. But we hit pretty hard in both direct mail, email marketing, blog, writing for SEO and also socials for these events. Last I heard from them, they got over a 10x return on their advertising spend
