Hey, {{first name | gorgeous}}!
Quick heads up, I'm hitting pause on emails next week and during the Christmas/New Year's stretch.
But before I hit pause next week, let's talk Small Business Saturday.
In our most recent Startup Women NC newsletters, we mapped out a complete mini-launch strategy to help our members capitalize on that critical shopping window. Whether you're selling products, services, or something in between, there's still time to make this work.
Here's your 8-day sprint (starting November 23):
Days 1–2: Lock in your offer, try to keep it dead simple
Day 3: Design your assets and write all your corresponding copy
Day 4: Post first social post and draft a three-email nurture sequence
Day 5: Send Email #1, engage in comments, and DM everyone who reacts
Day 6: Send Email #2 and hop on social for a quick LIVE Q&A
Day 7: Final "last call" push + share social proof + follow up in DMs
Day 8: Thank your buyers (this matters more than you think)
If you're willing to hustle, this window can be golden.
Now go crush it,
Raven O'Neal
P.S. Seriously though, try to take it easy and enjoy the holiday week ahead. I think we’ve all earned it.
