The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 383: Gift Certificate Policies & Questions with Shannon Crow   Description: What are the policies in your yoga business around gift certificates? If you don't have them in place, this episode is the perfect starting point to get started thinking about creating some policies about gift certificates and more in your yoga business.   Shannon shares a question that was asked in the Connected Yoga Teacher Group on Facebook about gift certificates. A member asked about whether they should honor an expired gift certificate given out during a silent auction or offer an alternative that shows compassion for the buyer's circumstances. Shannon shares the feedback on the post and what the original poster decided to do. She also invites us to consider the policies we have in place in our yoga business, not just about gift certificates but in other areas as well.   Shannon then shares a response she received on speaking up for social justice causes and other injustices. What can we do when it feels like our actions can't make a difference? Tune in to be inspired by Shannon's response.   Key Takeaways: [0:10] This episode touches on two topics - the importance of community and support, and gift certificate policies. [3:46]  Shannon gives a shout-out of thanks to sponsors, OfferingTree and two of Shannon's trainings focused on yoga for pelvic health.

[11:24] Did you know that you can create gift cards and discount codes through OfferingTree? [13:23] It would be a great idea to review your policies about gift certificates before giving them out at a silent auction. Shannon shares what the original poster decided to do based on feedback from the community. [15:35] Some countries may have laws about expiration dates on gift certificates. It can be a good idea to consider some of the policies you have in place in your yoga business regarding gift certificates, as well as other areas.

The top of the 9 by 13-inch print starts boldly with the state name NEBRASKA and underneath it is spelled also in braille. Underneath the word NEBRASKA is the entire state outline of Nebraska exactly like a map. The only difference from a map is on the left side of the state there's a white cane instead of a straight line and on the northwestern border there is another white cane instead of a line. At the end of the strap of the white cane, the map continues along the river as it naturally would. The river continues all the way down to the southeast border of the state. In the middle of the west side of the state are the historic rolling sand hills, which are covered by prairie grasses. These sand hills are replicated by small wavy tactile hills as a nod to this critical and historic portion of the state, which supports the cattle industry. Starting in the middle to the right side of the print are three huge stalks of corn. There's a reason this is proudly called the Cornhusker state! 192 Berkey Creamery Bundle Package donated by Pennsylvania Council of The Blind One thing that most Pennsylvanians agree on is “Ice cream is good, and the Penn State Creamery makes some of the best.” We love ice cream, but we love the science behind it even more.

So the next topic is considering the value of your gift certificates and how to calculate that. So I like to assign a value to the session. It is a real value that we actually give to our clients. It's probably the most value because we are creating a transformational experience for people. So having that as part of the value is really important. I think, um, what I found is that some photographers are really boosting that value to be up in that 600 $800 mark and it's having an adverse effect on the average sales. I think that when you are charging and I think it's coming back to that mentality of a couple of years ago where people believed that if they got an upfront fee, then at least they got that upfront fee. It was sort of their either safety net or I don't know. I'd never resonated with that sort of mentality really at all. But what seems to happen is the higher you make it, if it's up above that sort of $300 mark, four, five $600 mark, people are coming in with an expectation of getting something and that's when they seem to start getting a lot of where's my files? Where's my photos? Where's all of this stuff that's included for my $600. Because people want something tangible. So if we keep that session fee at around and really we're talking gift certificates for portrait at the moment because wedding is completely different. Welcome to Steve Saporito Education pod cast channel to learn more about what I do head over to my website www.stevesaporitoeducation.com Support the showwww.stevesaportioeducation.com

So now we're going to talk imagery on the gift certificates and future sales. Raheel's given me a couple of his gift certificates and this was the first one that he designed and did, and he sent it to me a few days ago and I said to him, I don't like that one and I don't like the middle one. I don't like this one. He goes, but you approved it. I said, but back then, Raheel, we had nothing to work with. You weren't shooting for emotion, you weren't shooting we didn't have anything to work with. So, yes, we approved it, knowing that we're going to have to have to update it. So things that I look for, I love to have something that sort of is a bit artistic, a bit different, that catches people's eye, which the mask thing does. Sometimes shooting half a face or something does that too. Even though when we do that, a lot of people do buy it. So when you do that artistic type thing where you're only like shooting half a face or just an eyelash, people love it. There are people that love it and buy it. But then what happens in the minds of the clients are it lifts your credibility up and they tend to like the other stuff more because of that, even though they don't buy it. Welcome to Steve Saporito Education pod cast channel to learn more about what I do head over to my website www.stevesaporitoeducation.com Support the showwww.stevesaportioeducation.com

So what are the fundamental components of a gift certificate? So the value needs to be clear and prominent. We've got an example of a gift certificate that you can see in our membership. And I've tried placing the value in different quadrants on a gift certificate. When we put it in the top right hand corner, we tend to get the best conversion rates and the best sales averages. So my recommendation is for it to be up in the top right hand corner and for it to be clear and prominent. We've tried making it smaller, bigger, bolder, left, bottom center, top right seems to give us the best results. Imagery that inspires and supports future sales. So by that, I like to have imagery that crosses a few of those life cycles that we talked about yesterday. So then that way we can cast our net a little bit wider. Of course, it's going to depend upon your business. So there are some some photographers that only focus on one very specific niche. Obviously, if that's what you do, then you wouldn't be casting the net wide. Welcome to Steve Saporito Education pod cast channel to learn more about what I do head over to my website www.stevesaporitoeducation.com Support the showwww.stevesaportioeducation.com

We're trying to get our clients to use us more often. We're in that center circle of getting our clients to use us more often because we're going to leverage off all the education we've already done. So if they have something tangible that they can give to somebody, there's a reflection of what they could possibly hope for and has a value, then it's much easier for them to refer you. When somebody receives something more tangible in their hand, they're more likely to take action than if it's just them talking about you.They should have seen the artwork. A lot of people would have seen the artwork in another person's home, so they're going to have that, but maybe where they are in their life cycle. Remember, we talked about the life cycle.Welcome to Steve Saporito Education pod cast channel to learn more about what I do head over to my website www.stevesaporitoeducation.com Support the showwww.stevesaportioeducation.com

So the next thing we're going to talk about are gift certificates, which really are the core of your marketing, physical, tangible marketing. So remember we talked about, yes, you might be doing some marketing online, but really we want to cover off all of this before we even go online because our alliances and all of the birthday mail, what we talked about yesterday with the weddings, you've already built a relationship with people. We're trying to get our clients to use us more often.

This week marks a turning point. Mercury Retrograde ends on the 14th although we'll still be in the retroshade energy for the next couple of weeks. This space between Mercury retrograde and Mercury direct is the time to reflect on what's happened over the past month. We are now processing what we have gone through. And as a result of all this processing, this is frequently a time when we make significant life choices. We get some help implementing these life-changing decisions when Jupiter, the planet of abundance and wisdom, enters Taurus for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter in Taurus helps things grow. Our new lives start to grow. We're gradually moving into our new ways of being.  We could not possibly have better energy than this right now. This is the perfect moment to start new things, even if you are unsure about how they will pan out. This is a seed-planting moment. We are growing something beautiful and long-lasting.  Do you know what else is growing? Our money! Jupiter in Taurus brings good fortune. Investments pay off and we receive expected pleasant surprises. This is a great time to start a business or a new job.  The first lunar cycle since the start of Eclipse Season occurs on Friday with the New Moon in Taurus. The chaotic and transformative energies of the Eclipses start to calm down and fade into the background. This New Moon grounds and stabilizes us, which feels great after all the chaotic energies of the Eclipse season. We have been through a lot of change, and taking some time to ground and rebalance ourselves helps us reconnect to a state of ease.  Purchase 40% off Gift Certificates for Mother's Day Sale at https://www.abundology.com/schedule View all Abundology Academy class recordings including How to Attract Money at https://www.abundology.com/abundology-academy

We've made it through the eclipses! But eclipse energy doesn't end when the eclipse is over. It'll last for another couple of weeks. The powerful Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio that happened on Friday was all about endings, closure, and life-altering events. All of these changes can be unsettling. What I love about the changes that happen during eclipse season is that they are fated. Destiny. Just knowing that whatever unexpected events have happened are meant to be might bring some peace of mind.  The good news is that starting on May 7th, when Venus, the planet that rules love, enters caring, sensitive Cancer, we begin to feel some relief. This transit just brings a big cosmic dose of gentleness. It is as though the universe is wrapping us up in a big spiritual blanket, giving us a forehead kiss, and tucking us into bed. This energy also brings the warm, fuzzy feeling of domestic bliss. You'll want to light some candles, cook dinner at home, cuddle up to watch movies, and piddle. This is prime piddle around the house energy and an excellent time for sprucing up your home and garden. We have one more week of Mercury Retrograde. Pluto is also retrograde now. With Venus in Cancer and these two powerful retrogrades, we are being urged to slow down and make every move more mindful. Since we are still integrating all the changes brought about by the eclipse season and the two major planetary moves in March of Saturn and Pluto, this time is a blessing in its own way. We're not the same people we were a couple of months ago. We have an opportunity to BE our new versions when the Sun and Uranus align on Tuesday. Switch up your daily routine, dress differently, learn new things, and BE this new version that may not feel natural - instead of just talking about it.  Purchase 40% off Gift Certificates for Mother's Day at https://www.abundology.com/schedule View and purchase Abundology Academy Class Recordings at https://www.abundology.com/abundology-academy

What if you had the time to do everything you wanted to do?  Wouldn't it be nice to feel relaxed and accomplished rather than rushed and overwhelmed?  Imagine taking time for yourself to relax without telling yourself you “should” be doing something else.  Maybe it's not so much that you can't get everything in and more that there are other ways you'd rather be spending your time?  In this episode, I'll give you a new perspective on thinking about your time that will support you in understanding how to invest your time in ways that are the most valuable to you.  Think about how wonderful it would be to plan your time in a way that intentionally left you with more white space to enjoy your life rather than planning it to figure out how much more you can get done.  Listen now and consider how the way you think about time is impacting your life and your wellness.  Referred to in this episode:  Pre-enroll in the Four Pillars of Breast Cancer Recovery Coaching Experience.  Give or get the gift of Coaching with a Gift Certificate

Remember - the things you do in August are going to set you up for the most productive 10 weeks of the whole year! As adults, we need orientations, too! We need to orient ourselves as to what's to come so we can prepare. We can prepare our mindset, our family, our home, and our organizational systems. I hope you'll enjoy this orientation replay: visit the orientation replay website to watch the video version We are also pleased to provide you with the below syllabus to go along with The Sunday Basket® Orientation: The Objectives of The Sunday Basket® System are to: Eliminate paper piles & to do list Learn the foundational skills of organization Build routines for paperwork, phone calls, paying bills and planning out your week Move from a reactive to a proactive life Save 5 or more hours each week Supply List: The Sunday Basket® Extra Slash Pockets (as needed) 1.0 2.0 2.0 Tabs, Highlights & Pencils in colors that coordinate with your Slash Pockets Portable Sunday Basket® - perfect for weekly slash pockets and the binders fit in the Portable Sunday Basket® Notepads (small and large) How Sunday Basket® Customers Describe Their Outcomes after 6 Weeks: I don't feel anxious anymore I feel like I can breathe My brain is able to think again My brain is quiet and not racing through all my forgotten to-dos all day I feel in control I am not missing things, paying bills late and unprepared I am making better decisions I am spending my money more intentionally I am more present for my life Want to find out more about The Sunday Basket®?
