EP152: The 7 Must-Do Steps To Hold A Profitable Flash Sale Part 2

Feb 24, 2020

If you listened to last week’s episode of the Business of Becoming, you’ll know that it was Part One of a two-part training - The 7 Must-Do Steps To Hold A Profitable Flash Sale. You’ll have heard all about what a Flash Sale is, why it’s important to give people a reason to buy from you and elements you should consider before you run one. If you didn’t catch it, I recommend you go back and give it a listen before this one.

In this week’s episode - Part 2 of The 7 Must-Do Steps To Hold A Profitable Flash Sale - I show you how to navigate the strategy behind the 14-day build-up to your Flash Sale so you can take actionable steps and create the hype and urgency you need to get your fence-sitters to take the action that you want them to take.

I have included a BONUS download, my 14-day Marketing Template, that you can use as a guide to craft your Flash Sale marketing campaign. (This is the same one as Episode 151 but I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss it!)

Just like last week, there’s lots to learn, so get ready to take lots of notes!

 

What We Talk About In This Episode:

• How having a reason for holding the Flash Sale shows that you have been paying attention to what your community wants
• Why priming your audience and building excitement BEFORE your sale will increase value and your sales
• The difference between using story-based, agitating content vs. publishing recipes and tips in your social media posts 
• How to use your own story to make yourself relatable and build trust
• When to transition your messaging from stories, case studies, and client examples to building excitement to pre-sell your buyers
• How to build hype and urgency in addition to a short deadline
