Foot Traffic for the Holidays
(and what comes next)
A 6-week plan to plug in a simple, automatic marketing system that brings people into your store now, and keeps them coming in January — without extra hours away from your business.
Q4 isn’t just another quarter — it’s the make-or-break season for every local business. This is the stretch that decides whether you finish the year with a sigh of relief or a pit in your stomach.
And here’s the truth: hope isn’t a strategy.
You can’t “post your way” out of slow sales.
You can’t “wait for walk-ins.”
You can’t rely on another lucky break.
If you’re watching the calendar tick toward the holidays wondering, “How am I going to make this work?” — this 6-week action program is for you.
You’ve been here before.
Every year starts with optimism. You plan to market better, get more local buzz, maybe run that event you’ve always meant to. But then...the season hits.
You’re short on time, short on help, and doing what you can to just keep things running.
Meanwhile:
- The big box stores are launching campaigns months early.
- Your regulars are shopping online.
- The “holiday magic” that was supposed to bring crowds... just isn’t showing up.
You tell yourself, “Maybe it’ll pick up next week.”
But next week comes, and your store is quiet while your expenses keep humming along.
By mid-December, you’re running on fumes — half-heartedly posting on social, printing flyers no one reads, and wondering why all that “advice” from experts never works for local businesses like yours.
This isn’t about motivation. It’s about not having a system that works for your kind of business.
You don’t need to do more.
You need to do the right few things — the ones that bring people in now, and keep them coming back once the decorations come down.
Most local marketing advice was never written for real business owners.
You’ve been told to:
- Post more on social media.
- Run a holiday giveaway.
- Try some new ad platform.
- Hand out coupons.
- Host another event “to get exposure.”
But none of that solves the real issue:
You don’t have a reliable, repeatable system for turning strangers into walk-ins.
Every shiny new idea adds more to your plate — right when you have the least time to deal with it.
So instead of building momentum, you’re stuck in start-stop marketing: a post here, a flyer there, an idea that fizzles by next week.
And by the time January comes, you’re not celebrating — you’re recovering...and wondering if you'll make it through the after-holiday slump.
What if, this holiday season, you could finally stop guessing?
This isn’t another “how to post” course. It’s a plug-and-play marketing system designed specifically for local businesses with limited time, real customers to serve, and only a few weeks to capitalize on the busiest shopping season of the year.
You’ll spend six weeks installing simple, practical steps that create compound results — meaning each week’s strategy builds on the last so your foot traffic snowballs naturally.
Here’s what you’ll do:
Week 1: Identify & Activate Your Local Hotspots
Find the pockets of opportunity right around you — the people most likely to visit, and how to reach them in minutes, not months.
Week 2: Create a Simple Foot Traffic Trigger
Something so straightforward it works even when you’re short-staffed or spending time with your family — a reason people have to stop in.
Week 3: Multiply Your Reach Using a Simple Automated Ads Strategy
Use targeted, super-low-cost ads that work overtime to find & attract real customers 24 hours a day (its like having the cheapest marketing hire ever)!
Plug in my local targeting system, and one key messaging shift that drives walk-ins. (this ads strategy increased foot traffic by 25% in ONE WEEK for one business owner)Week 4: Capture the Holiday Momentum
Turn once-a-year shoppers into regulars. Give them a "sticky" super-valuable offer (NOT a discount) that will bring them back in January and beyond.
Keep their attention after they leave, without adding more to your to-do list or giving away margins.Week 5: Automate the Follow-Up
Put small systems in place that do the heavy lifting — even while you’re running your business. An automated foot traffic engine is like an employee that never sleeps and creates repeat business without extra ad spend.
Week 6: Build the After-Holiday Plan
Make January your busiest “slow” month ever. Lock in what works so this isn’t another one-and-done season.
By the end of this program, you won’t just have a boost — you’ll have a running engine that brings people in long after the garland comes down.
Because it’s built for real local owners — not marketers.
Let’s be honest — most “marketing advice” isn’t written for you.
It’s built for online brands with big budgets, full-time staff, and time to experiment. You don’t have any of that.
You have a business to run, customers to serve, and maybe 30 minutes at the end of the day to breathe.
That’s why this system was built for local business owners — not for influencers, agencies, or internet gurus.
No algorithms.
No expensive ads.
No endless content calendars.
No luck required.
This program was created for storefronts, salons, cafés, restaurants, and service-based shops — the kinds of places that make up the heart of every Main Street. The kind of business that thrives on personal connection, repeat customers, and the power of local word-of-mouth.
Here’s why it actually works:
- It fits your real life. Each step takes 30 minutes or less per week. You’ll be able to implement what you learn in between customers, not at 10 PM when you’re already exhausted.
- It’s built for zero wasted motion. Every action you take compounds — meaning the work you do this week keeps paying off next week and next month.
- It doesn’t rely on social media. You won’t have to “go viral” or figure out another platform that changes the rules every month.
- It brings immediate, visible results. You’ll see actual people walking through your door — not just likes or views.
- It keeps working after the holidays. Most marketing dies out after December 31st. This system is designed to roll into January and beyond, so you start the new year already in motion instead of starting from scratch.
It’s simple. It’s proven. And it’s built to bring back what local business used to have naturally: steady, loyal, reliable traffic.
“This is marketing that finally fits your business — Kaitlyn understands how to keep busy business owners on track.”
- James S., Ivy Cottage
You don’t need a “marketing department.” You just need a system that fits your real life — one that keeps your doors open, your sales steady, and your time protected.
That’s what this program was built for.
Let’s talk about the cost of waiting until January.
Every business owner feels it — that quiet dread when the year winds down and the numbers don’t add up.
You tell yourself, “Next time I’ll get ahead. Next time I’ll plan better. Next time I’ll fix this.”
But next time never comes. Because life in a local business doesn’t slow down. There’s always another order, another staff issue, another season sneaking up before you’ve caught your breath.
And that’s how good businesses — hardworking, loved-by-their-community businesses — end up stuck in survival mode year after year.
Here’s what waiting really costs:
- You lose your best sales window. The holidays are when customers are spending, but without visibility, they’ll spend with someone else.
- You start January behind. Instead of building momentum, you’re playing catch-up — cutting costs, waiting for traffic to “come back.”
- You fade from customers’ minds. When people don’t see you consistently, they assume you’re gone, struggling, or just not offering anything new.
- You burn out without breaking through. The effort never stops, but the results never grow.
And the cycle repeats. Each year you mean to fix it. Each year it slips away.
The truth:
If you don’t have a repeatable system that brings people in, you’ll always be chasing sales instead of creating them.
This 6-week program is your chance to stop spinning your wheels and finally install a marketing engine that keeps working and is fueled off holiday momentum — even when you’re too busy to think about marketing.
Don’t wait for another slow Q4 to force you into panic mode.
You still have time to turn this year around — if you start now.
“Who the heck is this Kaitlyn Shenouda person and why are her marketing frameworks so effective at driving foot traffic?”
You’ve probably never heard of me. You probably saw a Facebook or Instagram ad, got a little curious, and now you’re reading this page thinking: is this marketing program really going to make me more sales for my local business?
Fair question.
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Kaitlyn Shenouda. For the past 15 years, I’ve owned, built, and marketed local businesses.
I don't market for ecommerce, and I don't mess around with influencers, views, clicks, or likes.
I drive foot traffic.
I'm a former fashion designer & big-box retail marketing director who built my freelance marketing business to an *almost* seven-figure yearly business.
I've worked with hundreds of local business owners, artists, makers, service companies, and therapists, in every industry and local market you can imagine.
I’ve personally spearheaded over $900M in marketing spend (which earned my clients more than $60B in brick & mortar revenue) over the past 15 years. Some of my past clients include:
- Spyder Active Sports
- Sports Authority (back in the good days)
- Gaiam
- GAP Inc
- Harley Davidson
- Liv & Sotheby
- Pure Sage Bags
…and over 900 more smaller local brick & mortar stores that I’ve helped add over $26M in additional sales
I also own 2 local businesses in addition to the marketing agency, and run them all using the exact same framework that I teach to bring in a consistent flow of foot traffic and sales.
Why am I telling you all this?
Because when I say this foot traffic system works, I’m not guessing.
This program is based on over a decade of battle-tested strategy, thousands of campaigns, and real revenue in hundreds of different local niches and markets.
If you use this, it will work.
How can I be so sure?
Well…
Every one of these owners started the same way:
Frustrated. Busy. Unsure what to do next.
And in just six weeks, they saw measurable, trackable, and sustainable increases in walk-ins and repeat visits.
The difference wasn’t luck — it was having a system that compounds results instead of resets them.
Everything you need — nothing you don’t.
This program was designed for business owners who don’t have time for theory. You’ll get only what drives real-world results — every week, step by step.
Here’s what’s inside:
- 6 Weeks of Guided Training
Bite-sized sessions built for busy owners. Each week focuses on one core driver of foot traffic that you can implement immediately — even during your busiest season. - Weekly Action Sheets
Printable and easy to follow. Each checklist tells you exactly what to do, who to contact, and what to track — no confusion, no guesswork. - Plug-and-Play Templates
Done-for-you examples of flyers, offers, and partnerships that you can personalize and use the same day. - Community Access
Connect with other local owners who are running the same system. Share wins, swap ideas, and keep yourself accountable. - Live Support & Coaching
You’re not alone. You’ll have direct access to coaching support — real humans who understand local business challenges, not generic marketing “gurus.” - Bonus: The January Momentum Map
Your post-holiday playbook. Learn exactly how to turn your December customers into year-round regulars, so your momentum never stops.
Everything is designed to fit inside your real-world schedule, not compete with it.
You’ll learn. You’ll apply. You’ll see results — all without burning yourself out during your busiest season.
By the end of six weeks, you’ll have a fully functioning foot traffic engine that runs itself — no burnout, no guesswork, no wasted effort.

Six weeks that change your busiest season — and the one after it.
You’ve already poured years of effort, energy, and heart into your business. You’ve survived hard months, late nights, and the stress of unpredictable sales.
This isn’t about working harder — it’s about working smarter for six weeks to install something that keeps paying off long after the holidays end.
Think about what one slow weekend costs you — in lost sales, missed opportunities, and wasted energy.
Now imagine replacing that with steady, predictable foot traffic every week, for the rest of the season and beyond.
That’s the value of this program.
It’s not a one-time promotion; it’s a permanent upgrade to how your business runs, set up to drive maximum foot traffic during the most important 6 weeks of the year.
👉 I’m Ready to Build My Foot Traffic System
Don’t let another Q4 slip away.
Let’s be real: if you’ve been running a local business for more than a year or two, you already know how this season goes.
You start strong, the decorations go up, you promise yourself this year will be different — you’ll market better, plan earlier, bring in more customers.
But before you know it, it’s December 15th. You’re tired. You’re juggling a dozen things. The “holiday rush” feels more like a trickle.
And then comes January.
The holiday lights come down, and so does the energy in your store. The phone slows. The foot traffic dries up. The bills don’t.
You tell yourself, “Next year, I’ll start earlier.”
But next year plays out exactly the same way.
The Real Cost of Waiting Until January
It’s not just about missed sales. It’s about what those missed sales represent.
When you don’t take action, you lose more than revenue — you lose momentum, confidence, and your shot at starting the next year from a position of strength.
Here’s what that looks like:
- You miss your window.
Q4 is the single most powerful quarter of the year for local businesses. People are already out shopping, celebrating, eating out, and looking for experiences. The foot traffic is there — it just might not be coming to you.
Every day you wait, another store captures the customers who could’ve been yours. - You start January in survival mode.
Instead of coasting on December’s energy, you’re scrambling to fill empty hours. It’s hard to plan, hard to motivate your team, and hard to believe things will change. - Your loyal customers lose touch.
When you don’t stay visible through the holidays, you fall off the radar. Out of sight, out of mind — and by the time you show up again, they’ve moved on. - You carry the same stress into a new year.
That low-level anxiety — wondering if the doors will stay busy, if the bills will balance — doesn’t disappear. It just rolls forward, again and again, until you fix what’s broken.
The cost of doing nothing is cumulative. It’s not one bad month — it’s a slow erosion of energy, customers, and belief that things can actually change.
This is the WINDOW to Your Future
Q4 isn’t a time to “wait and see.” It’s your perfect launch window — the one stretch of the year when community attention is already at its highest. People are out and about, spending, exploring, saying yes to new experiences.
When you start this six-week program now, you:
Tap into natural demand. The system meets customers where they already are — ready to buy. You don’t have to fight for attention; you just have to be visible and consistent.
Turn one-time shoppers into year-round regulars. You’ll learn how to follow up and bring them back after the holidays — so January isn’t a reset, it’s a continuation.
Use the season’s momentum to build habits. The energy, foot traffic, and visibility you generate now carry forward. You’re not just “having a good season,” you’re building a foundation for steady traffic in spring.
Protect your time while increasing your outreach. Every step of the system is built for 30 minutes or less per week. You’ll be doing less busywork and getting more consistent results.
Start January with clarity, not chaos. Instead of wondering where your next customer is coming from, you’ll already know — because the system you built in Q4 is still working for you.
The best time to start with a REAL marketing system was yesterday...
The second best time is today
A lot of owners tell themselves, “I’ll start fresh after the holidays.”
But here’s the truth:
January is the worst time to start.
Traffic is slow. Cash is tight. Energy is low.
By then, you’re reacting to a problem instead of preventing it.
Building your foot traffic system now means you’ll:
Ride the wave of the holiday season instead of waiting for it to pass.
Capture new customers when they’re most open to discovering local businesses.
Turn December’s busyness into January’s momentum.
Start the new year from a place of control instead of catch-up.
This Is the Moment to Flip the Script
You’ve worked too hard to let another “quiet season” sneak up on you.
This time, you have a chance to create your own rush — not by posting more or discounting more, but by using a simple, proven system that fits your life.
You’ve got six weeks left in the year.
Six weeks to take control.
Six weeks to finish strong and set yourself up for your best January yet.
You can keep waiting for the perfect time.
Or you can decide that this is it.
Because the only thing standing between a quiet store and a thriving one is the system you choose to install right now.
You’ve got six weeks.
I’ve got the plan.
Let’s fill your store — together.

How is Foot Traffic for The Holidays different from other courses out there?
There are a LOT of courses out there on how to market a business.
Most marketing courses teach you how to create content, post, send email, etc etc. This course teaches you how to make sales.
Because you’ve already tried doing it the hard way.
You’ve done what every local business owner does when you’re trying to drive traffic:
You’ve posted on social media, sometimes every day for a week, sometimes once a month when you remembered.
You’ve printed flyers, handed them out, stuck them on windows, dropped them off at nearby stores.
You’ve tried a new event idea — something fun, something different — and waited to see who showed up.
You’ve listened to podcasts, watched “free trainings,” and scrolled through endless marketing advice that never seems to fit your life.
And through all of it, there’s that same underlying feeling:
You’re working so hard, but you’re never quite sure what’s actually working.
Foot Traffic Framework is going to show you how to win at EVERY aspect of local marketing, including:
- Local Customer Targeting (that's more than just geofencing every warm body in a 10 mile radius)
- "Bullseye" Messaging (that gets your V.I.P. customers off the couch… so you actually make sales)
- Advanced automation
- 6-figure Events
- "Anti-Discount" Offers
- Tech (learning how to use your marketing software the RIGHT way)
- Tracking ROI (for SALES, not clicks)
- Advanced monetization techniques
- And much, much more!
There are no other courses on the market that teach this comprehensive system. It's a complete "business plan in a box" that you can't find anywhere else. It's the most comprehensive local marketing training I've ever created, with every strategy I know to help you make more sales and create more repeat business… and grow a sustainable, profitable local business.
Join the Program
Here's Everything You Get When You Join Foot Traffic for the Holidays
There is a LIVE coaching component (where I'll work with you and the other students)... and a series of course modules and training you can watch at your own pace.
Here's what's included in each module:
Module #1
The Foot Traffic Framework
This module will help you lay the foundation for your marketing so it actually fits into your business. It doesn't matter if you've been in business for the past decade… or if you're just launching this month. This will show you how to set up this simple, easy automated marketing system so you can start making more sales in a fraction of the time. You'll learn how to engineer more revenue, more profit, and more cash flow with one building block per week for 6 weeks.
Module #2
How to Attract Local Customers on Autopilot
This module goes deep into attraction triggers that work for local customers. You'll learn how to create ads that actually WORK… even while you're running your business or spending time with your family. In fact, this module will help you get customers so fast, most of our clients are seeing a 20-30% increase in foot traffic within days, not months.
I'm going to reveal the best automated frameworks you can use to write powerful, emotional ads that moves people off their couch and gets them to buy. You'll be confident in how to attract customers and make money after you go through this module.
Module #3
Leveraging Returning Customers to Skyrocket Profits
Most people have no idea how to guarantee returning foot traffic. In this module, I'll give you a "look over my shoulder" as I teach you the ins and outs of your ongoing marketing to keep customers coming back again and again. You'll become a master of email, social, events, automations, integrations and more. You'll discover new strategies to help you make more money from your existing customer list, just by leveraging the power of automated connection strategies. If you're not a "techie" person… you're going to love how simple this module is. You'll become an expert fast, without any stress or struggle.
Module #4
6-Figure Event Playbook
Most business owners know that events can be huge money-makers, but they aren't a "stand-alone" guarantee to bring people in. If you want to actually make money, you need a better playbook (or marketing plan) that expands your local reach and gets more people in your door.
I'm going to break down a few simple frameworks you can use to spin up a more powerful event that'll attract hundreds of new people into your business. And if you'd rather sell a loyalty program or 'V.I.P. Club', I'm going to show a few that I've created for my clients, one of which have helped them get as much as $98K in 4 days.
Module #5
Foot Traffic Framework Case Studies & Breakdowns
This module is going to fill your brain with real world "Foot Traffic Framework" style email examples. I'm going to show you how to apply your newfound marketing skills in a variety of industries, so you'll never run out of ideas. You'll learn some advanced messaging techniques. And you'll get to see dozens and dozens of REAL WORLD marketing campaigns that apply the methods I teach in my system. I'll be going through them, line by line… so you can learn the "hidden frameworks" behind high converting ads and automated marketing that brings in real local customers. It's like getting access to a treasure trove of money-making strategy swipes you can easily modify for your own business, so you can bring in some fast sales.
Module #6
Advanced Automation
Some people don't want to think about marketing every day...or even every week. I love it, but I totally understand if you want to add in some automation so you can make passive sales, even while you sleep.
This module is going to show you an advanced automation system you can use to passively sell with a series of simple autoresponders that promote the right product, to the right customer, at the right time.
Module #7
How to 10x Your ROI
Once you start attracting more and more new customers, the next step is to ensure you keep them coming back. Because the more each customer spends over time, the more profit you make. This module will show you a handful of simple, low-stress systems you can use to keep customers coming back for years. Plus, it'll show you how to engineer long term, sustained new customer growth. Imagine your business growing with dozens, even hundreds of new customers flowing in every single week, even when you're not working.
"Is Foot Traffic for the Holidays For Me?"
Foot Traffic for The Holidays is perfect for local business owners: people who make their living with a business that relies on in-person sales.
It's tailored to owners who are currently operating a brick & mortar business and need as much foot traffic as possible this season. However, if you don’t yet have a storefront and are looking to make fast sales before the end of the year with ANY type of in-person service or product, this course will show you a fast and easy way to get your first few hundreds (or few thousand) new customers.
Typically, that falls into a few categories:
Boutique Owners, Creators, & Product Businesses of all varieties
If you sell any type of merchandise, art, skincare, physical products, classes, experiences, events... then this is for you. My Foot Traffic Framework system is based on the system I developed for my own business to sell more than $1,700,000 worth of products and services since 2019. You'll learn a simple system for making sales every single day… and building a strong bond with your customers.
Franchise Owners
I've worked with dozens and dozens of franchise owners of all sizes. The marketing system you're going to learn in Foot Traffic Framework is the same one I've used to help these storefronts grow (that 90% of corporate franchises won't or can't support you with on a local level).
Like Rapid Energy Nutrition, a business I helped go from $8K/month in 2024 to $28K/month in 2025, which is now about to break into a top tier nationally for their energy supplement sales. We run a simple play book with multiple campaigns each week + some smart automated sequences. The combination of these two elements means we're stacking cafe sales every day with ongoing take-home supplements, making a ton of sales in the process.
If you're looking for a simple system to follow to bring in new customers, increase repeat customers, increase lifetime value, and increase your store's cash flow… Foot Traffic Framework will help you.
Freelancers, Salon Owners, & Service Providers
I started my home design & staging business (the 3rd business I own & run) because I wanted to de-risk myself from walk-in traffic. I wanted to build an income stream that allowed me to book appointments so I would always know exactly who was coming to me and what I was making, so I wasn't so reliant on foot traffic alone. Plus, I wanted to have a system so I could get clients chasing ME… instead of the other way around. All of that has happened as a result of this automated system.
Now, if I need to get more bookings… I just have to turn on a $5/day ad campaign and I'll get people reaching out. And if I don't feel like taking on any new clients that month, I can send out offers for other add-ons and products to generate cash flow. If you perform services for customers, you need to have a marketing system in place. It's the only way to have the security you need to thrive.
Food & Beverage Companies
This method of compound marketing is so powerful for Food & Beverage. It's the easiest way to be seen everywhere and keep customers craving what you offer… and actually get off their couch. If you've got a unique experience in your restaurant, coffee shop, winery, you can attract a ton of people once you use the Foot Traffic Framework system.
Crafters, Pop-Ups, & Collective Marketplaces
Maybe you don’t have your own storefront or you sell other people's products in a collective boutique or marketplace. The most successful people who don't have their own storefront use a compound marketing system to make this happen. If you know how to keep people's eyes on your business using marketing, you can generate sales wherever you're located, without having the high overhead of a physical storefront.

But I think you're going to find that you quite like what happens in your business once you try my stuff out, because…
Its time to stop "throwing spaghetti" at the wall
When you don’t have a plan, every day feels like starting over.
You wake up thinking, “What can I do today to bring people in?”
You come up with something on the spot — a post, a quick idea, a half-finished promotion. You’re always reacting, not building.
Here’s what that looks like in real life:
You pour time into posts that disappear in 24 hours.
You get a few likes but no new faces through the door.
You rush to print flyers that end up in the recycling bin.
You ask your team to “share the page” or “spread the word,” but it fizzles by next week.
You watch a competitor have a packed Saturday and wonder what you missed.
You feel that quiet frustration of trying everything and still seeing slow days.
It’s not that you’re doing it wrong — it’s that you’re doing it alone, without a framework that ties everything together.
You’re piecing together advice from ten different voices, hoping something sticks.
And when it doesn’t, you start to doubt yourself — even though the problem was never effort. It was direction.
What happens when you follow a real system instead
Now imagine the opposite.
Imagine waking up already knowing what your marketing looks like this week.
No panic. No guessing. No scrolling through ideas while your coffee gets cold.
You’ve got one focus — a single, clear step that fits into your real world.
It’s already mapped out. It already makes sense.
Here’s what that experience feels like for real local owners inside the system:
You’re no longer wondering what to do — you’re simply doing it.
You feel organized instead of overwhelmed.
You start seeing small wins quickly: a new customer who mentions your local partnership, a returning customer who says, “I saw your sign and thought of you.”
You begin to trust your marketing again — because it’s showing up in your numbers, your conversations, your sales.
You stop thinking about “what’s next” and start building on what’s already working.
You’ll feel your energy shift from constant firefighting to quiet confidence.
And when the new year starts, you’ll finally have something that doesn’t need to be rebuilt — just repeated.
The difference between guessing and knowing
When you’re guessing, marketing feels like a gamble.
You’re tossing ideas into the wind and hoping one lands.
And when it doesn’t, you lose not just time — you lose momentum.
When you have a step-by-step plan, marketing becomes simple, predictable, almost boring in the best possible way.
It becomes routine — part of how your business runs, not a separate project you have to find time for.
Instead of:
“What should I post today?”
You think,
“It’s Wednesday — this is the day we highlight a customer story.”
Instead of:
“Maybe I’ll try another event next month.”
You think,
“We’re already partnering with that café next week — and they’re promoting us too.”
Instead of:
“I hope January isn’t dead again.”
You think,
“We’ve already got a follow-up plan in motion for every new holiday customer.”
That’s what a system gives you — certainty.
Why it matters now more than ever
Your time is already stretched thin.
You don’t have the capacity to keep chasing new ideas that don’t connect.
You don’t need more marketing “hacks.” You need a rhythm that keeps your doors busy even when you’re too busy to think about it.
This six-week program gives you that rhythm — a way to show up consistently without burning out.
By the end, you’ll have:
- A clear marketing pattern that takes less than an hour a week.
- Real numbers to measure your growth.
- A calm confidence that your effort is going somewhere.
- A system that runs through the holidays and into January, without you starting over.
It’s not about “trying something new.”
It’s about finally having something you can trust.
Here’s what this really means for you
This program doesn’t ask you to become a marketing expert.
It gives you the structure and support to stop wasting energy on things that don’t move the needle.
It’s the difference between:
- Feeling like you’re constantly behind vs. feeling in control.
- Crossing your fingers every weekend vs. knowing your plan is already working.
- Starting from zero every January vs. carrying your momentum straight into the new year.
You don’t have to chase traffic anymore — you can create it.
And you can do it in a way that actually feels manageable, repeatable, and sustainable.
That’s what makes this system different.
It’s not about trends or tactics — it’s about helping local business owners like you finally stop guessing and start growing.
You’ve tried “more effort.”
You’ve tried “more posting.”
Now it’s time to try less chaos and more clarity.
- A six-week plan you can execute in minutes not days.
- A clear system built for busy business owners without any fluff.
- An ongoing strategy so you know exactly how to keep the momentum going after the decorations come down.
That’s what Foot Traffic for the Holidays (and What Comes Next) delivers.
