Podcasts about Black Friday

Sometimes I get wary of sharing how much I plan. But because I plan I get to be more purposeful and present in my life which gives me peace. I‘m sharing the 3 phases I go through to plan. I dream. I contemplate allllllllll the possibilities. Then I choose what I want to do from all dreams I came up with. And then I plan it and confidently run that plan knowing I thought of everything.  Holiday Blitz so you can leave the Witches in Oct.  Halloween has passed, you are in the thick of the holidays but you still feel like a witch. Why? Because you are trying to meet everyone's expectations but no one is aware of all you are doing nor do they care. We are putting all this pressure and these expectations on ourselves!!  I'm here to share how to shed those witchy feelings with the Holiday Blitz. In the holiday blitz there are 5 videos and printables. After the videos, you will “interview your family” about what makes the holidays special for them BEFORE the holidays. You will dream about what you want the holidays to look like this year. And after talking to your family it'll be easy to choose what you want to execute. Holiday Mini Planning Day The Holiday Blitz Mini Planning Day is a taste of what home planning day is like.  This is when we take the one Sunday Basket® and divide it into three Sunday Baskets®. You will have a Holiday Sunday Basket® for the meaty experience you want to plan, recipes, gift ideas, and all the holiday cheer you want to provide this year. There will be a “next year” Sunday Basket® where you can safely place paper that doesn't need your attention until next year. You place this Sunday Basket® in another room.  And of course, your regular weekly Sunday Basket® for your “new part time job” of being the memory maker; with the additional shopping, decorating, traveling, and so forth. We'll take a look at the week of Thanksgiving and the last two weeks of December and plan in time blocks. And I share tips on how to strategically shop Black Friday to save money all year.  I know not everyone has the capacity or time to plan luxuriously like this. So…I am offering a 30 mini workshop where you can take just a few minutes to plan. I know everyone is really busy but I really want you to enjoy the holidays this year! Stay tuned for more details so you stay sane and present for the holidays. Home Prep & Planning Day And we end the year with more planning. Yes I really do all of this planning. But you will see as the year comes to an end you will be already dreaming of what this 2026 year can bring. It's still full of so much potential.  Prep day is Monday. You will reset your Sunday Baskets® and update slash pocket labels and contents. Some paper may need to go in your operations binder. And you will have a Taxes Sunday Basket® for a landing place when all the documents start coming in the mail. You'll have one extra Sunday Basket® which will be for your first project in the new year. And then you choose what projects and ideas you will be actually planning for on Wed. And On Wednesday we'll start getting a plan on paper in the workbook. What will the first 120 days/ 4 months of 2026 look like? In each of these planning phases I dream. How could it look? And then I choose. I make an actionable plan to execute the choices I made. And lastly, run that plan with confidence. Because you take the time to plan, you can peacefully be present. Once you have experienced the peace of planning, you will find the time to plan. I promise! And the more you plan, you'll want to plan even more!

No apagar das luzes do século 20, alguns brasileiros começaram a ouvir um chamado. Era o canto do avestruz – não do bicho em si, mas das possibilidades que alguns seres humanos enxergavam nele. Um único animal que poderia ser cultivado para produzir couro de luxo, plumas frondosas, e carne que dava pra chamar de um filé mignon de baixo colesterol. Essa febre foi se alastrando pelo interior do país até chegar no coração da Elisabete Maciel. Junto com o pai, Jerson, ela fundou uma empresa que teria um impacto sísmico no destino dos avestruzes no Brasil. Por Paula Scarpin, Flora Thomson-DeVeaux e Carolina Moraes.

This week, we wrapped up Your Fully Booked Era

In this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts Austin Campbell, Ram Ahluwalia, and Chris Perkins tackle a packed agenda: from the fairness of Binance's listing fees to the ways in which DeFi didn't perform well during the “Black Friday” crash, why Tempo's $500 million raise might have been a political ploy, and the growing war over stablecoin dominance. The trio debates whether Bitcoin is undervalued compared to gold, why Ethereum's 10-year track record gives it an edge, and whether today's Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are just froth, or the permanent backbone of institutional crypto. Plus: Austin makes a bold prediction about the stablecoin that will dominate by 2040.

Open Enrollment Reactivation: How Clinics Turn Past Patients into Six-Figure Months (with Jeremy Dupont) In this episode, Doc Danny Matta sits down with Jeremy Dupont (founder of Patch) to break down the most reliable campaign in cash PT: Open Enrollment. They cover simple and advanced playbooks for reactivating past patients, the offers that convert (and why), how to mobilize your team, and what realistic results look like for a growing clinic. Quick Ask Help us move toward our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to physical therapy—share this episode with a clinician friend or post it on your Instagram stories and tag Danny. He'll reshare it! Episode Summary Low-hanging fruit: Reactivation beats cold lead gen. Past patients already know, like, and trust you—bring them back with a clear, time-bound offer. Timing that works: Run Open Enrollment mid-September to early November to avoid competing with Black Friday and holiday noise. Proven offers: Classic 12 for 10 pack (two “free” visits or a clear $-savings) and a higher-commitment 24 for 20 pack (often on a 3-pay plan) to grow LTV and stabilize MRR. Clinical cadence: Frame packages for twice-monthly visits (habit & outcomes), not “stretch it for a year.” Families often share bigger packs. FSA nudge: “Use it or lose it.” Encourage spending FSA dollars before year-end; HSA rolls, FSA often doesn't. Manual > fancy: Individual reach-outs (text, call, in-person) outperform gimmicks. Emails nurture; humans convert. Team power: Involve providers in personalized follow-ups. Incentives like a Christmas week off can crush goals. Results you can expect: A clinic with an owner + two staff PTs commonly sells 20–30 packages when they execute well. Lessons & Takeaways Offer clarity wins: Know exactly what you're selling and how you'll message savings and value. Context is king: Choose channels and scope based on capacity. Don't flood a full schedule. Nurture all year: A warm list responds; a cold list ignores asks. Give value before you ask. Plan the calendar: Open Enrollment → Black Friday → Holidays → New Year. Map campaigns, staffing, and hiring to demand. Mindset & Motivation It's an ecosystem: Reactivation is part of your hiring, space, continuity, and cashflow strategy—not a one-off promo. Follow-up is a skill: Segmented, human follow-up turns “maybe later” into revenue now. Give, give, ask: Consistent education builds reciprocity. Then earn the right to sell. What Works (Tactical) Simple path (solo or lean): Pick one clear offer (12 for 10), email your list, text/call past patients, and have providers invite current patients who are nearly out of visits. Advanced path (bigger teams): 5–6 email drip over 2–3 weeks, landing page specific to Open Enrollment (not your contact page), track opens/clicks and manually follow up with “warm” engagers. Personalization buckets: Current patients with 2–3 visits left, past patients who finished care recently, old leads who inquired but didn't buy—each gets tailored copy and a direct ask. Motivate the team: Group goals (e.g., hit X packages = Christmas week off). Time off > small cash bonuses. Avoid time wasters: Fancy video email “personalization” tools didn't move the needle. In-person and 1:1 messages did. Notable Quotes “Reactivation is the lowest hanging fruit—people who already trust you just need a clear reason to come back.” “If the last time you emailed your list was last Open Enrollment, don't expect fireworks.” “Less is more: pick the right window, keep the offer simple, and follow up like a pro.” Pro Tips for Owners Define the offer: Choose 12 for 10 or 24 for 20 (with 3-pay). Set the clinical cadence (2x/month). Own the landing page: Dedicated Open Enrollment page with a single CTA—don't dump traffic on a generic contact form. Mine your analytics: Build manual follow-up lists from people who opened multiple times or clicked the CTA. Right-size promotion: If you're at capacity, keep it tight (email + in-clinic). If you're feeding 6–7 PTs, amplify everywhere. Think families: Position bigger packs for active households who'll share visits across the year. Action Items Pick your Open Enrollment dates (target mid-Sept to early Nov) and one offer. Spin up a simple landing page with FAQs and a clear “Talk to Us” form. Segment lists: current (low visits left), past 3–6 mo, old leads. Draft 3 tailored scripts. Schedule a 5-email drip and build warm-engager follow-up tasks for your team. Set a team goal & reward (e.g., holiday week off) and daily scoreboard.

According to Experian, Black Friday 2025 spending in the US is predicted to reach over $12 billion in online sales alone, and global spending is forecasted to be between $80 and $82 billion.  That's a lot of money.  Despite consumer caution and economic pressures here in the United States, this represents an 8 to 10% increase over last year. 2024's Black Friday buying season totaled almost $11 billion.  Why am I sharing these stats with you? Because Q4 is a critical sales season for product-based business owners and we want you to be prepared. Jessica Totillo Coster of eCommerce Badassery is back on the podcast today, and we are talking about Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales strategies. Specifically, what's working, what we want you to avoid, and why we insist that you keep your sales strategy as simple as possible.

Jesień w Ameryce to nie tylko kolorowe liście i Halloween. To ogromny, doskonale zorganizowany sezon gospodarczy i kulturowy. Zaczyna się w sierpniu od pumpkin spice latte, które co roku uruchamia marketingową machinę wartą setki milionów dolarów. W tym odcinku opowiadam, jak wygląda amerykańska jesień z bliska – od dekorowania ganków i rodzinnych wypraw na pumpkin patch, po lokalne Oktoberfesty i weekendowe wizyty w winnicach. Będzie też o Halloween, które zamienia amerykańskie przedmieścia niemal w plany filmowe jak z horrorów.

Holiday spending doesn't have to derail your budget or financial goals. Every year, Americans overspend by thousands during the holiday season, but with proper holiday budget planning and money management strategies, you can enjoy the festivities while staying financially on track. One thing about the holidays is that they come around the same time every year. In spite of that fact, is it just me or does the time in between holiday seasons seem to go faster as we get older? I understand Christmas comes around every 365 days, but every year I almost feel caught off guard. If you're in that hole with me, I'm happy to share that there are things we can do to make finances as smooth as possible during the holiday season. In this episode, I'm sharing a few ways you can set your finances up for success when we're in the thick of the holiday season. You don't need a full year to plan, stick to these tips and you'll feel financially peaceful getting through another holiday season!  

Ever wondered how someone could make half their annual photography income in just one week? That's exactly what happened to Megan O'Hare when she ran her first strategic Black Friday promotion.In this episode, I'm sitting down with Megan O'Hare, the powerhouse behind The Photo Project—a course that teaches moms how to organize their digital photo chaos. We're diving deep into how Megan went from making around $7,000 on her first attempt at a Black Friday sale to crushing it with $51,000 the following year using my Black Friday in a Box strategy. She's pulling back the curtain on exactly how she structures her promotions, why her done-for-you service sells out twice a year, and how she's built a business model that allows her to barely touch social media while still growing her email list and revenue consistently.This conversation is packed with strategy gold, including why Megan limits her high-ticket one-to-one offers to just two sale periods per year, how she's made certain products available ONLY during Black Friday (talk about built-in urgency!), and why 95% of her done-for-you clients are people who already bought her course but decided they'd rather just have her do it.What you'll learn:How Megan went from $7K to $51K in Black Friday sales by implementing a strategic promotion planThe exact structure of her 5-day Black Friday sale and why limiting availability creates massive demandWhy her done-for-you service clients are almost always previous course buyers (and what that means for YOUR business model)How she runs a summer sale using the same Black Friday strategy for an additional revenue boostHer approach to making certain products available ONLY during promotional periods to drive urgencyWhy lead generation ads are her "cost of doing business" and how she thinks about ROI differentlyThe truth about her email marketing strategy (spoiler: it's not perfect, and that's okay)How she's structured pricing for her done-for-you service to avoid awkward money conversationsResources Mentioned in this episode:Black Friday in a Box: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-friday The Photo Project: https://thephotoproject.co/ Megan O'Hare on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oharephotos/ Your Next Steps:Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter Support the show

Last Friday, billions evaporated in a liquidation cascade—and nobody knows exactly what happened because centralized exchanges won't share the data. In this sponsored episode recorded at Aptos' NYC event, Aptos CEO Avery Ching says if their Decibel perpetual exchange had been live, traders would have seen every order, every spread change, every liquidation in real-time onchain. But while critics argue existing perp DEXs like Hyperliquid are already decentralized, Ching says most still match orders off-chain in black boxes. Avery explains why Decibel (launching Q1 2026) will be different, how 500 million Indian users are coming to crypto through Reliance Jio's Jiocoin, and why Aptos partnered with World Liberty Financial despite VCs calling it "garbage in your living room."

Kain Warwick, founder of Synthetix and Infinex, is returning to Ethereum Layer 1 with a bold new experiment: a perpetuals DEX built directly on mainnet. In this episode, he joins Laura to explain why Synthetix is taking this contrarian step, how its hybrid “optimistic order book” can run efficiently on Ethereum's slower block times, and why he believes the future of trading will move fully on-chain. Warwick also discusses the tradeoffs behind using USDT, what it will take to match centralized exchange performance, and his “super app” vision for how DeFi platforms could finally outcompete CEXs.

Crypto just went through its biggest crash. In the wake of “Black Friday,” when $19 billion in positions were wiped out in hours, Bits + Bips hosts Steve Ehrlich and Ram Ahluwalia are joined by Carlos Guzman of GSR and YQ of AltLayer to dissect what really happened. Was it a coordinated attack exploiting Binance's oracles? A failure of market structure? Or simply too much leverage waiting for a trigger? Or some combination of the three? The group breaks down how liquidity vanished, why hedges failed, how this flash crash echoed the worst moments of traditional markets, and why the industry urgently needs reform before it happens again.

AI shopping assistants will transform retail search within 18 months. AJ Ghergich from Botify, who advises enterprise leaders on search transformation, predicts this Black Friday represents the last traditional shopping season before AI dominance. He introduces the paradigm shift where AI becomes your primary customer rather than a technology to manipulate, requiring brands to focus on proper relationship nurturing and factual authority building. Ghergich outlines the exponential adoption curve driving interface changes and recommends enterprise retailers launch agile "speedboat" initiatives to capture market advantage before competitors adapt.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Talk Commerce, Brent Peterson interviews Mallory Wilberding, the Director of Sales at FusePoint. They discuss the critical role of measurement in marketing, especially in the context of changing data privacy regulations and the importance of understanding different types of measurement. Mallory emphasizes the need for brands to move beyond vanity metrics and focus on true ROI. They also explore common mistakes marketers make in measurement, the impact of AI and machine learning, and how to prepare for key shopping events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The conversation concludes with advice for marketers on how to effectively communicate the value of measurement to stakeholders.TakeawaysMeasurement is crucial for understanding marketing effectiveness.Brands should focus on true ROI rather than vanity metrics.Different types of measurement serve different purposes.Marketers often make mistakes by relying on outdated metrics.AI and machine learning can enhance measurement strategies.It's important to be agile and adjust measurement approaches as needed.Preparation for key shopping events should include measurement strategies.Understanding customer behavior is key to effective marketing.Measurement should be an ongoing process, not just for specific campaigns.Marketers need to educate stakeholders on the value of measurement.Chapters00:00Introduction to Mallory Wilberding and FusePoint02:27The Importance of Measurement in Marketing06:43Understanding Different Types of Measurement10:45Common Mistakes in Measurement Practices14:27The Role of AI in Advertising18:17Preparing for Black Friday and Cyber Monday20:28Advice for Brand Marketers21:20Closing Thoughts and Resources

Before launching iNNBEAUTY Project, Alisa Metzger spent over a decade inside some of the world's biggest beauty companies—L'Oréal, Procter & Gamble, and Coty—learning exactly how the industry worked from the inside out. But after years of seeing the same patterns repeat—sky-high markups, confusing claims, and a lack of true transparency—she decided to build something different. Alongside her co-founder Jen Shane, Alisa created INNBeauty Project: a brand that delivers clinically effective, clean skincare without the luxury price tag.Vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free, iNNBEAUTY was designed to be as inclusive as it is high-performance—bridging the gap between clean formulas and results-driven science. The brand's bright packaging and straightforward messaging cut through the noise, offering products that actually work and make you feel good using them. Today, iNNBEAUTY Project is one of the fastest-growing clean skincare brands in the U.S., with Alisa recently named to Inc.'s 2025 Female Founders 500 list. Under her leadership, INNBeauty continues to redefine what modern beauty looks like—smart, accessible, and radically transparent.In this episode, Alisa also discusses:How she's bridging the gap between efficacy and fun in skincareCreating formulas backed by clinical results, proven to perform at the highest levelWhy Extreme Cream rivals (and often beats) $300+ luxury moisturizersWhat it meant to be one of the first clean brands at Sephora to prioritize affordabilityHow they merge science-backed formulas with playful, dopamine-boosting packagingThe meticulous approach behind crafting products for all skin types, tones, and agesWhy building a brand takes time and why patience is keyWe hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Alisa's journey and the growth of iNNBEAUTY Project.

I am SO pumped to share this episode with you because it's proof that the strategies I teach actually work in the real world.My student Stephanie Kase just pulled back the curtain on how she made $20,013 during Black Friday 2024 using my Black Friday in a Box strategy. And she documented EVERYTHING.We're talking about a woman who doubled her previous year's Black Friday results without massive audience growth. She went from making her typical $4-6K flash sales to hitting a goal that honestly seemed ambitious when she set it.What I love most about Stephanie's approach is that she didn't just follow my strategy blindly - she adapted it, tested it, and made it work for her business. She ran five days of deals, used strategic upsells, and even threw in some warm audience Facebook ads that generated a 13.4x return on ad spend.This isn't just about the numbers though. Stephanie breaks down exactly what worked, what didn't, and what she's changing for next year. She's sharing the behind-the-scenes reality of running a successful Black Friday campaign, including the 500 people who unsubscribed (and why she's totally fine with that).Grab Black Friday in a Box while it's on SALE: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-fridayWhat you'll learn:The exact 5-day deal structure that generated over $20K in salesHow strategic upsells and order bumps added $4,100 to her revenueWhy running ads to warm audiences only resulted in 13.4x return on ad spendThe specific email timing strategy that worked (and what didn't)Her biggest mistakes and what she's doing differently in 2025The email subject lines that got the highest open rates during Black Friday weekHow she prepared her audience weeks in advance with a Black Friday catalogThe backend technical issues you need to avoid when running daily dealsResources Mentioned in this Episode:Black Friday in a Box: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-fridayStephanie's breakdown and free Black Friday debrief document here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgJSgXeShB4Your Next Steps:Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter Support the show

I'm taking a quick break from my homestead organization series to share what I've been seeing lately in the world of deals and steals, what's worth adding to your cart, and what can probably wait until next year. In this episode, I'm talking about some of my favorite brands, the types of products that actually go on sale (and stay good quality), and how to make a wishlist that keeps you from getting sucked into the scroll. What We Chat About: Why GreenStalk's current clearance sale is the best I've ever seen How to tell if a “deal” is really a deal (hint: check regular prices first!) When to stock up on grow bags, seeds, and raised beds Power backup systems and what brands to trust Kitchen tools and cast iron cookware that actually go on sale How I use wishlist shopping to avoid impulse buys The one item still on my wishlist — the Presto electric pressure canner My Best Tips: Don't feel pressured to buy everything right now — there will always be another sale. Sign up for your favorite seed companies' newsletters to catch those early November discounts. Create a wishlist before you browse so you don't get distracted by random “lightning deals.” Quality over quantity — especially when it comes to garden gear and tools that need to last.
