I own a hair salon. Typically, November is my busiest season. It has been SO quiet. A lot of my colleagues are also saying the same thing and have had to close up shop because of it - or get a second job.
People keep saying it will get better and the economy will bounce back but I don’t know. I am so close from just throwing in the towel, closing up shop and getting a corporate gig.
I’m not paying bills for the first time in 10 years of business. It’s scary, it’s hard, and not sure how much longer we can last. I’m calling all my accounts to work out anything I can. Video production business.
It’s slow in Dallas.
I hate that for you. Hope things change soon for the better.
I know this might seem low-brow compared to what you normally do, but this might be a good time to put together EXPENSIVE unforgettable video packages. You could edit/remaster (especially with AI) people’s old wedding videos or home videos into amazing family gift keepsakes. Run these as a very personal gift. Any day you aren’t out filming you can be editing and with the AI tools for video my assumption is this wouldn’t be too much work and wealthy people don’t mind paying for personal gifts. Just a thought. This is what I do for work so it’s fun to try to help brainstorm!
