MY "HOLIDAY SALE" USED TO STINK

(Seriously, just terrible.)

I've owned a Martial Arts school since I was 20 years old. The first year I opened my school I attempted to have a Holiday Sale, and it was miserable. I think we sold an ornament and a poster. That's it. But I kept trying (and failing) year after year....

And it never got better. I put up all of the posters from our Martial Arts equipment supplier and followed their advice, but it just didn't work for me. I couldn't get my students to buy the trinkets and little things that I was supposed to be pushing, and even when I did, the profit margins were so tiny that shipping costs ate them up, and I was left with nothing to show for the effort.

Then one year, I sold a gold necklace from the supplier's catalog to a student. She loved it. I was happy, she was happy. Until it broke the next day, and I had to give a refund, which meant that when you factored in shipping, I actually LOST money.....

IT WAS TOO HARD, SO I GAVE UP.

A few years after I opened the doors to my school, I was done with holiday sales. I decided it was a whole lot of effort for nothing. I never heard anyone (except the martial arts equipment suppliers) talking about how good things were in the holidays. No other school owners were doing great with Holiday Sales.

We're the "Little Guys", And We All Have the Same Obstacles Keeping Us From Actually Succeeding at a Holiday Sale:

Lack of Decent Retail Profit Margins
When you factor in shipping, it’s hard to make any money at all on a single item. As a small business, you don’t have “economies of scale”, and no bargaining power with suppliers.
Lack of capital to buy merchandise to stock on the day of the sale
We’re “supposed” to buy a bunch of stuff for our students to browse, but do you really have extra money laying around to buy merchandise stock? I sure don’t.
Lack of students to actually buy things
If you’re Walmart, you have literally thousands of people desperate to get at your sale. If you’re a 40 student martial arts school like I was, your customer base is very limited.
A whole lot of "getting my hopes up" for Nothing
Every year I kept hearing about how much I was “supposed” to be making, and I’d get my hopes up, and ever year, I’d fail. I hear that same story over and over from my school owner friends.

So year after year I let the Holidays pass me by, irritated that Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Toys-R-Us and everyone else had record years, and I was stuck on my couch, twiddling my thumbs.

Eventually I realized that I hadn't just "given up", I'd QUIT. When I realized this, it PISSED ME OFF, because I'm not a quitter, I'm a Black Belt. I wasn't sure how it would work out...

BUT I WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD, DETERMINED TO "CRACK THE CODE" FOR MARTIAL ARTS HOLIDAY SALES.

I took an honest look at what my students REALLY NEEDED - and they didn't need cheap trinkets or santa clause ornaments.

They needed Gear, Uniforms, discounted tuition, and to feel connected to the school. But it had to be done with the right "mix" of internal advertising (flyers, handouts, announcements, etc), product selection, tuition packing, etc.

Basically, it had to be done perfectly, or it was destined to fail.

I PUT TOGETHER A PLAN THAT WAS ALMOST EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF WHAT EVERYONE HAD BEEN TELLING ME TO DO, AND NERVOUSLY, LAUNCHED IT...

I was blown away when I saw people standing at the door at 9am (when the sale started), waiting to get into my school. That's how excited they were.

By the time the sale was over, I had grossed almost $21,000. When the doors finally locked, and I turned the lights off, I almost cried.

Knowing that I didn't have to lay awake at night over the Holidays, worrying about rent and utilities, and new enrollments and Christmas Gifts...I was overwhelmed. It had worked.

FAQs:

Is this a physical product that you mail to me?

No, it’s a 100% online digital product. There’s a member’s area that you will access using your own special password, where you’ll see videos, downloads, advertisements you can use and more.
I don't have very many students. Is this really worth it?

It depends on your goals, and what YOU consider “success”. Want to make $30k in a day with 30 students? Isn’t going to happen. Want to make $5k? Follow the blueprint step by step, and you’ll have an excellent chance.
But I'm MMA/Kung Fu/Karate/TKD/BJJ/Adults only/Kids only

This is NOT about martial arts *style*. It’s about creating an opportunity for you to give your students what they need, and make some very much needed cash for yourself and your school during the holidays.
How long do I have access to the blueprint?

Forever, unless we do a major update. You’ll still have your login information next year, and the year after that. You’ll be able to reference the blueprint year after year to grow your sale.
Do I have to "cash out" a bunch of people? I hear that's bad.

Well, it is bad. You can’t go cashing out your whole student base, otherwise you won’t have any accounts receivable next month. So, no, this product isn’t solely based on “cashing out” as many people as possible.
Who the hell are you and why should I listen to you?

I’m William Pierce, and I love teaching kids Martial Arts. For years I’d always tried Holiday Sales, but they always STUNK. So I locked myself in a room and created a plan to make it work for both me AND my members – and it did. So I’m sharing it with you 🙂
