THe Holiday LAB
Thrive this year with weekly learning, troubleshooting and co-working alongside other retailers and product makers.
JOIN THE crew
The holiday selling season is starting.
Plan it, then do it with The Holiday Lab.
Most holiday selling and operations plans are pieced together at the last minute, with the biggest decisions made in a rush.
Join the Holiday Lab, a 90-day cohort with other retailers and product makers where you’ll build and carry out a holiday plan that keeps your cash flow and operations on track through January.
PROMOTIONS: Discounts, upsells, bundles, black friday…?
Deciding which promotions to run shouldn’t be random. We’ll work through the options and land on the ones that fit your business right now, so they’re set before the season starts instead of chosen in reaction to what everyone else is doing.
Operations: Staffing, hours, delivery, INVENTORY...?
Often, staffing and inventory calls come down to a hunch about how busy you’ll be. We’ll read demand closely enough that you can schedule and order based on what’s actually coming, rather than paying for help you don’t need or running short in the middle of December.
cash flow: how much $ to spend or save?
The holidays can make you spend more than you collect, and it’s hard to know whether a negative month is a problem or just the season. We’ll sort out which swings are normal for your business and how to smooth the ones that aren’t, so January arrives with cash to get you through the leaner months.
support: who’s in it with you every week?
Each week you’ll meet with other retailers and product makers working through the same challenges, with Spencer facilitating. Some sessions are teaching, and others are set aside for you to work alongside others, so when something isn’t going the way you expected, you have people to bring it to.
By mid-January you’ll have run a full season on a plan you built, and you’ll know which parts of it to keep for next year.
A HEALTHY business = happy owner = HAPPY LIFE
The Holiday Lab runs October 14 through mid-January. It’s $350 for the full 90 days. In mid-January you decide whether to stay on as a Momentum Lab member. The full-year Momentum Lab transformation fosters more control, more confidence, and more freedom so you can go far. Learn more about The Momentum Lab.
