what if you could...
capture more sales this holiday season
without having to…
… give away endless unprofitable discounts to convert buyers
… feel like your sales are dependent on the algorithm
… miss out on tons of time with family & friends
… sell in a way that feels pushy or inauthentic to your brand
… bring in lots of holiday-themed products that can become an inventory risk
Inside the Holiday Playbook, I'm sharing the exact strategies & insights I learned managing million dollar product departments during my 10+ years in the industry so that you can cut through the noise
and you’ll wanna know how to stand out because…
Customers are out, looking for you.
*wallets open, ready to buy*
Holiday shoppers are active. They have a list of people to shop for, holiday events to prepare for, and their own goals to complete before the end of year.
And while that means there’s a ton of opportunity for product brands…
it also brings new challenges:
- Organic reach becomes less reliable, as big brands pour big dollars into social ads
- Marketing gets noisy with the increased competition, making discounts sometimes feel like the only option
- Capacity can quickly max out with the larger influx of orders, causing tasks to slip through the cracks or costing you time with family
But here’s the good news — you don’t have to just accept ‘it is what it is’
What if you could surpass your sales goals without having to blast your audience with endless discounts that lower your profits, give over control to an algorithm, or spend time on tasks that don’t move the needle?
What if there’s a way to get ahead this holiday season?
Imagine if you could…
- Make more sales without stressing over organic reach because you’ve become less reliant on the algorithm alone
- Expertly position products to attract holiday shoppers & craft irresistible offers that cut through the noise so customers convert without crazy discounts
- Finally feel calm & in control of your sales while getting to spend more time with family and friends
THAT’S EXACTLY WHY THE HOLIDAY PLAYBOOK EXISTS.
It gives you the shortcut to more sales & profit, so you can stay ahead of the competitive Q4 holiday season and get back your time for more important things.

the holiday playbook 5-step process:
Step One: Plan the Big Picture
The reality is you're going to spend time doing work either way -- this ensures you do the work that gets the best return. When you're zoomed out, you can spot opportunities so you don't miss out on sales, identify new product opportunities, and position existing to attract holiday shoppers
Step Two: Prioritize Owned Channels
Your list is your most valuable asset for competing with bigger brands. It's a *neutral* ground for all brands, big & small.
Learn key adjustments & ways to grow, optimize, and nurture your email list so you can show up alongside all the big players and worry less about what the algorithm is doing
Learn key adjustments & ways to grow, optimize, and nurture your email list so you can show up alongside all the big players and worry less about what the algorithm is doing
Step Three: Prep Profitable Promotions
THE backbone of the program.
Selling isn't just what happens when you ask for the sale or run a promotion. It's the whole process leading up to & after that ask so that 'selling' simply becomes an invitation to take action -- and that's exactly what you'll get when you apply the framework.
Step Four: Optimize Back End Systems
Set up simple systems to automatically capture & recover sales from the traffic you're getting, so your marketing efforts don't go to waste
And get your time back with streamlined business operations in customer service, shipping & fulfillment, and website updates with easy to follow action plans and task lists that keep priorities in check

Step Five: Leverage Automations During Q5
Q5 is that weird time between Christmas & New Years when no one knows which way is up, lol.
While you're kicking back, taking time off, and celebrating an amazing year... let automations & systems work for you behind the scenes

Great question! Yes, the Holiday Playbook will help you uncover what’s important to your audience, not push any particular message.
If your products don’t naturally lend themselves to the holidays, it’s even more important that you have conversations with your customers so that you can position your product with what they’re looking for.
It ALSO takes specific Q4/holiday related issues & consumer behaviors into account so you maximize this time of year where there are a lot of overlapping events, promotions, and hard ‘shopping deadlines’.
Whether it’s with the Playbook or not, absolutely do not wait.
There’s no better time to maximize sales then during the holidays when consumers are already actively seeking out new brands and products. And having a proven framework will help you do that. Don’t sleep on your own business!
With that being said, while the strategies are not dependent on having an email list I’m going to serve it to you straight and say — START AN EMAIL LIST 🙂
The Holiday Playbook will also help you grow your email list with interested customers, not just random subscribers.
**There’s a section inside that covers how to set up an email list, ways to grow your list, and you can swipe the ideas & subject lines so you can get up and running quickly.
It’s difficult to answer without knowing your business, so let me ask you this:
If you followed your same plan from last year, would you reach your goals this year?
And if not, do you know what to review & look for to identify ways to grow your sales, protect your profits, and reduce inventory risk?
If you’re not sure, the Holiday Playbook is here to offer new perspectives, insights, and strategies you can layer on so that your sales & profits grow year over year.

MEET YOUR HOST:
i’m kate. retail buyer turned product marketing consultant
As a small shop, I believe you deserve to be on the same field as the big guys… and there’s no better time to level the playing field than the competitive Q4 season.
I started my 10+ year career in the buying/planning offices for a department store where for over 3 years I managed the single largest Black Friday sales item across the entire company. And I saw first-hand that the math doesn’t always add up to profit.
Which is why within our core assortment, I implemented a new marketing strategy that increased sales by 70% within a multi-million category — all while using fewer discounts.
I’ve since helped hundreds of students & clients grow their business with marketing strategies that fit their brand values; and more importantly – their lifestyle.
Obsessed with using strategic (read: simpler. smarter. saucier.) marketing methods that put more money in your pocket and help you show up online with confidence.
If you want marketing that gets results, not just views —
heyyy hi hello, you’re in the right place 🙂
now's your time.
What if...
You decided to go all in this holiday season. If you committed to showing up and confidently selling now through December. What could be different in your life & business in the new year?
The opportunities during the holiday season are truly endless. I’ve seen so many different products take off during this time of year and I can tell you (from experience) that having strong promotions can have a huge snowball effect heading into the new year. It’s time you get your piece of the pie, don’t ya think?
