Black Friday has become a crucial day for many small businesses. Companies make a big push to entice sale-seeking shoppers with substantial discounts, bulk deals and giveaways. Unfortunately, many small business owners fail to capitalize on the momentum Black Friday can create. The deals offered during this holiday should serve as a "foot-in-door" opportunity to build recurring, full-priced revenue for your business. If you're looking for ways to generate business, streamline processes, reduce costs and increase profits throughout the rest of the year, our 5 Years to GROW program can help. 5 Years to GROW pairs you with a knowledgeable team of consultants who will help you take your business to the next level.

Let's talk about Black Friday in the business world. It's tempting, right? But for the sustainable ventures, there's a smarter way. We all know Black Friday's impact on the environment is huge, promoting buying things we don't really need. But here's a tip – a strategic pause. Learn from businesses worldwide changing the game. Take Vivo Barefoot, for example. They offered discounts on their re-sale platform instead of their regular stock. Smart move, right? And Freitag, the bag retailer. They closed on Black Friday temporarily, pushing a sustainable cycle through their bag-swapping initiative. And this year, they are offering bag loans as an alternative to buying. According to the British Independent Retailers Association, 85% of independent businesses boycotted Black Friday in 2021! Here's the key – standing firm for your values isn't just about principles; it's a smart business move. Build stronger connections with like-minded customers and see your business thrive. Now, let's chat. I'd love to hear how do you handle Black Friday at your company? What are your thoughts? #noblackfriday #blackfridayboycott #strategicbranding #purposedrivenbusiness #ethicalbusiness

One of the busiest weekends in retail is just a few weeks away. From #BlackFriday to #CyberMonday, there are tons of deals to be had — but for small businesses, Saturday is the day to shine.

Last week, we hadn't planned on running any Black Friday promotions. Because, like many other businesses, such events often come with decreased margins. BUT on Friday morning, we made a last-minute switch and decided to launch a promotion Here’s why: ⭐ To shine a light on our incredible independent brands during a noisy period. 💰 To inject cash back into our local economy. For every £1 spent on small businesses, at least 50% is reinvested back locally! 👨👩👧👦 To give parents a chance to buy and experience products from our unique independent brands at bndle, some of which aren't available elsewhere. We're giving back this Black Friday period. No pressure, but our 15% offer ends tonight.

Also, with Black Friday deals going on left and right, consumers, like myself, are being more intentional with their spending.

I didn’t do a Black Friday sale for my business.. Just because you see everybody else doing something doesn’t mean that you have to subscribe to it. In 2021 and 2022 I ran a Black Friday Sale But this year… I realised it wasn’t relevant to my brand. It wasn’t in line with my brand values. Having high quality clients is incredibly important. I don’t want people to work with me just because I’m offering a discount. I want people to invest in my services because they are genuinely willing to make that investment. Don’t be afraid to stand out and do your own thing. Could that mean missing out on an opportunity to generate sales? Probably… But you gotta be willing to stand by your values regardless of the outcome. Stop looking at what everyone else is doing Do what works for you and your business! If you are new here, Hi 👋🏽 I’m Ruqayyah - I help women entrepreneurs rebuild their confidence, overcome stress, be more productive and, develop their leadership skills in business. What is that one thing that you’re doing in your business that no longer aligns with your values? Let me know in the comments ⬇️
