I can't believe we've reached 100 newsletters! 🎈🎉🥳
To celebrate this feat, I thought it would be fun to reshare our very first newsletter (shoutout Favour if you're still reading this).
This newsletter just so happens to be perfect for right now because it's all about how to capitalize on the wild spending during the holiday period.
(Plus, the open rate was dreadful, so there's a good chance you haven't seen it anyway!)
And, in that same vein, I know a lot of people have aspirations to create their own ecomm store...
I wrote a newsletter with a ton of tips on how to do this for ClickFunnels before they changed the direction of the newsletter.
So, as they're not going to use it, I figured I'd share it with you!
Here's the link to read that:
Creating an ecomm business and much more
And here is the first ever newsletter we sent:
The past few months have been hectic for the entire Funnel Rolodex team.
We’ve had to go through a series of brainstorming sessions to discover more ways to provide the Funnel Rolodex community with a richer user experience, more quality service, and valuable content.
Thankfully, we're progressing and we'll be rolling out a lot of new stuff in the coming weeks and months.
For now, I’m pleased to inform you that we’ve just rolled out the
Funnel Rolodex Newsletter.
Yay!
So, without further ado, let’s dive right into the first edition of the newsletter.
AN ACTIONABLE TIP TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS
The holiday season creates an opportunity for savvy business owners to generate end-of-the-year sales. Here’s proof:
Despite the pandemic, the figure above shows a spike in last year’s
holiday sales in the United States.
It doesn’t matter if your funnel didn’t generate as many sales as you desired during Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Take advantage of the few key dates remaining in 2021. Or, put simply, plan towards Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Here are some ideas for generating sales this period:
- Offer special bonuses
- Do a mini product launch (via an email series)
- Offer time-sensitive discounts
- Take early bird registrations for your upcoming course or mentorship program
There are still opportunities to drive more sales before the year ends. However, be sure to pay close attention to your messaging to obtain favorable results.
Ensure that your marketing copy circles around your target buyer’s dream for the new year. For example, you could compel people to:
- Buy your discounted weight loss program so they’d finally hit their fitness goal in the new year. Or, say…
- Grab 50% off the regular price of your skin care product to get spotless, well-toned skin in 47 days (or before Valentine’s Day).
Messaging is key. However, you need not stress over this. There are dozens of copywriters in the FR marketplace who can help you out with this.
Are you a freelance expert selling your services on the marketplace? Seize this holiday season to make some extra bucks too.
Need ideas? Try these three:
- Reach out to your previous clients and find out if they need more work this period.
- Ask around to see if your friends need a freelancer to help meet certain needs.
- Check relevant social media groups frequently to spot opportunities where you could throw in a pitch.
