Description

This is the fifth ecommerce business type in our series — and it’s often the most misunderstood.


In this episode, Mark and Ian unpack the Seasonal Specialist model — where 80%+ of revenue happens in just 6–8 weeks. Whether you sell Christmas hampers, school shoes, winter clothing, or Valentine’s gifts, this episode shows you:




🔍 What you’ll learn:


 


• Why trying to "smooth the troughs" is a waste of time

• How to maximize the peak season instead of burning cash year-round

• Why most seasonal brands overspend in quiet months

• How to use event-based email + SMS to create more peaks

• Brands like British Hampers & Stormy Kromer scaled fast by getting this right

• The one thing your agency will never understand about seasonal scaling
