Why Adding Offers When Your Styling Business Feels Slow Is a Mistake
Manage episode 509934871 series 3565276
When you don’t have new clients lined up, it’s tempting to whip up a brand-new offer, slash the price, and call it a solution. It gives you a quick dopamine hit, but it’s panic mode, not strategy. And that cycle of tweaking and adding services is one of the fastest ways to burn out your styling business.
Every new offer isn’t just the service itself. It comes with hidden jobs: packaging it, building systems to deliver it, and marketing it well enough to sell. That extra work stacks on top of what you already have, leaving you scattered, confusing your audience, and exhausting yourself before you ever see consistent results.
In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I’m sharing why “offer hopping” keeps stylists stuck and the three legitimate reasons you might actually add something new. You’ll walk away knowing the difference between an offer that strengthens your business and one that only distracts you from the momentum you’re trying to build.
