3 quick questions to boost your holiday sales


Hey Reader!

It’s been a little while since I popped into your inbox, so I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself.

My name is Katy Gelhausen, and I’m here to help creative entrepreneurs—like you—build and retain a loyal customer base so you can focus on doing more of what you love.

I know it’s been quiet on my end, but I’ve been busy behind the scenes, and I’ve got something exciting to share with you next week. Stay tuned—trust me, you won’t want to miss it!

While I have you, I wanted to ask: Is your website holiday-ready? Now’s the perfect time to start prepping for all those potential customers.

Take a moment to review each page on your site:

👉 Does it reflect the story behind your brand?

👉 Is it easy for first-time visitors to navigate?

👉 Are you highlighting benefits over features?

If your website isn’t pulling its weight, you could be missing out on potential sales.

I’d love to know—what’s one thing you’re focusing on right now to prepare for the holiday rush? Just hit reply, and let’s chat!

Looking forward to sharing more with you next week!

Dare to shine,

Katy ✨
