A quieter way to show up for Black Friday
By now, your inbox probably looks like a game of who can shout the loudest.
Every email has a timer. Every post has a countdown.
If you are like I was this time last year, you are still debating whether to join the noise or just quietly unplug until December.
Truly, I get it. The pressure is real. Especially when you see everyone else selling like their business depends on this one week.
Something a lot of online business owners do not realize is that Black Friday doesn’t have to be loud to work.
For service-based businesses (like yours), what converts isn’t the sale—it’s the lead-up.
The soft, steady drip of trust you’ve been building all year through your blog posts, stories, and quiet consistency.
That’s what makes a reader pause and think, “I’ve been meaning to work with her.”
Not a flashing 50% OFF graphic you made in Canva the night before.
So if you want to “show up” this week, stop worrying about the big announcement.
Focus on the soft launch. Mention your offer naturally in your content. Remind your readers what you help with and if it feels right, end your post with a reminder, something like:
“If you’ve been thinking about getting support, now’s a good time.”
No urgency. No fireworks. Just presence.
Because your audience doesn’t need convincing—they just need a nudge in the right direction.
