One of my biggest business goals was to fill a Royal Mail lorry.
When we started making wax melts from home, that goal felt impossible.
But I always imagined the day a Royal Mail lorry would arrive to collect our orders.
The first time it happened, I stood there in complete disbelief.
Seeing every parcel we'd packed loaded onto that lorry was a moment I'll never forget.
Then came Black Friday 2023...
We didn't just fill one lorry. We filled more than one.
That feeling was even more surreal than the first.
Big Black Friday weekends don't happen overnight. They happen because of the work you do beforehand.
If you're hoping to make this your biggest Q4 yet...
Now is the time to start planning.

For 51 weeks of the year...
I don't recommend emailing your customers multiple times a day.
Black Friday is different.
People expect offers. They're actively looking for deals. They're checking their inbox more than ever.
If you're not showing up, someone else will.
One email on Friday morning isn't enough.
Your customers are busy. They're shopping. They're working. They're looking after the kids.
They won't all see the first email.
That's why we'd email throughout the weekend. And the day.
The biggest mistake we see? Businesses send one email...
Then sit back and hope.
Hope isn't a marketing strategy.
Will a few people unsubscribe?
Probably.
And that's okay.
I'd rather lose a handful of subscribers than miss thousands of pounds in sales from the people who wanted the reminder.
