400. Limit your menu and skip the studio booking

In this replay of a bonus episode from On The Bright Side, I’m breaking down why limiting your options might be the most powerful move you can make in your balloon business.

I walk through how simplifying your color inventory and menu of offerings can make it easier for clients to book, faster for your team to execute and significantly more profitable over time. This approach has helped me reduce stress, streamline training, cut waste and build a business that can grow (or shrink) without chaos.

Since I originally recorded this, I've released Sales Sets, which are ready-to-use product images in color palettes that you can purchase instead of doing your own photo shoot to display your menu. So as you're listening, just know you've got two paths. You can absolutely follow along and use this episode as a guide to plan your own menu photo shoot when the time is right; or if you wanna skip the studio booking, inflation and expense, you can use Sales Sets as a plug-and-play option (or even as a placeholder until you're ready to do your own photos).

This has been the single best thing I have done to help my customers understand what I'm selling and purchase faster.
