Episode 565: Why Holiday Sales Start in September (And What to Do Now So You’re Not Scrambling Later)

podcast Sep 01, 2025
Why Holiday Sales Start in September (And What to Do Now So You’re Not Scrambling Later)

In this week's pep talk, I share why the best holiday sales actually start in September—and how you can set up a stress-free, profitable Q4 without scrambling, posting daily, or relying on a Black Friday sale.

 

In today's episode, I share:

  • My exact Audit + Align process (straight from inside Anti-Social School™)
  • How we mapped out our offers in September and avoided last-minute panic
  • The list growth strategies that actually work right now (and the one we’re using this month)
  • How to review your calendar so you can unplug and still hit your sales goals
  • Real-life examples of how I structured our Q4 launches without a massive Black Friday push
