I’m shocked at this year compared to the last 2-3 years. My city is crippled with inflation on groceries and rent… I’ve even had customers ask for refunds to put towards their bills!

    My business is laser treatments, my prices are already too low to accommodate my market… people spending less on non essentials 😣

      I have a client that does laser treatments. What they do is holiday events that they host every year along with maybe one event every 2 or 3 months. They offer exclusive pricing at these events and also give bulk discounts for consecutive treatments, along with giveaways and raffle prizes and free drinks. But we hit pretty hard in both direct mail, email marketing, blog, writing for SEO and also socials for these events. Last I heard from them, they got over a 10x return on their advertising spend

      Yep. My family just cut out gifts period. Like let’s spend our money on getting things we know we need / like vs blowing money on crap that another person won’t use/like. Just always felt like such a huge waste. Now we save money & time!
