What if you could wake up every month knowing your bills were already paid? Sarah Williams turned her local gift shop into a subscription box business generating consistent monthly recurring revenue—and she's sharing exactly how she did it.

Sarah started with 44 subscribers and grew to thousands, keeping customers for an average of 17.3 months at $74/month with a 67% profit margin. She reveals how she used her existing business data—bestselling categories and average order value—to create subscription boxes customers love.

Discover how monthly recurring revenue covers rent, utilities, and salaries while retail sales become pure profit on top. Sarah even acquired 761 new subscribers in just 60 days during tough economic times, proving this model works now more than ever.

Whether you run a brick-and-mortar store or an e-commerce business, this episode shows you the exact framework to add subscription revenue to your existing retail business.

You know that feeling when your store is buzzing with holiday shoppers and you're thinking, "Finally, I don’t need to do anything — they’re already buying!"
Yeah… that mindset cost me over $200,000. 😬

In this episode of Bringing Business to Retail, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most expensive assumptions I ever made: believing that busy seasons mean you can stop actively marketing.
Here’s the truth: just because customers are buying doesn’t mean they’re spending as much as they could — and you might be leaving tens of thousands on the table without even realizing it.

I’ll walk you through:

• How I failed to maximize my busiest seasons (and the numbers to prove it)

• The simple upsell strategies that could’ve quadrupled my revenue

• Why Q4 isn’t the time to coast — it’s the time to double down on strategy

• What to do now if you want your best Q4 ever (without burning out)

If you’ve ever thought you don’t need promotions because “people are already buying,” you cannot afford to miss this episode.
