Welcome to another episode of Business Lunch with Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss! In this special episode, Roland shares tactical strategies to help you live a rich and happy life.

In today's episode, Roland and Ryan discuss the importance of maintaining momentum in your business during the holiday season.

They explore various strategies for holiday promotions, such as urgency offers, flash sales, and limited edition products. Ryan shares insights into Digital Marketer's successful "12 Days of Deals" campaign, emphasizing the power of bundling and storytelling.

The hosts explore the concept of frictionless checkout, buy-now-pay-later options, and proactive human outreach. They suggest ways to combat cart abandonment, such as persistent carts and personalized messages.

In the spirit of giving, Roland suggests providing favors to your customers by offering them incentives for year-end purchases, creating a win-win situation.

Finally, the hosts encourage businesses to finish the year strong and plan for a successful January, leveraging the lower ad costs and heightened attention in the market.

Don't forget to explore the opportunities that January presents for expanding market share. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend, and be sure to check out the Business Lunch Podcast website for detailed notes and resources.
