035: Making the Most of Slow Times in Your Permanent Jewelry Biz

Goldie Links Permanent Jewelry Podcast

In this personal and practical episode, we’re diving into a reality all entrepreneurs face: slow times! Whether it’s a quiet market day, a seasonal lull, or just a random week, it’s important to shift your mindset and maximize the opportunities these moments offer.

Instead of sitting behind your table and moping, it’s time to get up, connect, and maximize your opportunities. Chat with the people walking around and build those valuable connections, they’ll remember you when they’re ready to buy. If you're at a slow market, use the time to talk to fellow vendors! One customer can lead to a chain reaction of success, from a single bracelet purchase to parties and beyond!

Slow periods are a chance to be productive and proactive. Take this time to research new products, chains, or connectors. Take to social media and post some polls. Batch social media content, and plan posts for upcoming events like Valentine’s Day. Another great idea is to think about your goals for the new year and start planning for tax season. (All things we tend to push off because who wants to do taxes?!) Is your website up to date? Are your photos and branding on point? Use this downtime to refresh your displays, deep clean your shop, and tidy your home, which can directly impact your business mindset.

Sometimes, the best ideas come when you take a moment to slow down. Meditate, take a long shower, or go for a walk to find clarity and inspiration. Reconnect with past customers through newsletters, social media messages, or texts. Try something new, like blogging, or even pick up a hobby to recharge your creativity.

Remember, slow times happen in every business. This is your opportunity to dive into your to-do list, gain clarity, and make the most of the moment. It’s not about waiting for the perfect time—it’s about making every moment count!

Tune in to hear more tips and inspiration for turning slow days into opportunities!
