How to Cope With the Winter Months

Here are our top tips for staying creative in the winter months

During the winter months, the days get colder and darker. And for those who thrive more in the sun and the warmth, the winter can be a difficult period of time to remain motivated.

But, these are a few things we like to do during the winter months to get us through the days when the weather is making us just as miserable as it is.

Get Prepared for the New Year

Start to think about what you would like to achieve with your business in 2023.

Do you want to expand your product range? Would you like to dedicate more time to your social media? Are you going to aim to double your sales?

Make a list of what goals you would like to reach and then work backwards from there. Cut your goal down into reachable milestones and then make sure everything you do is a step towards this objective.

Try New Things

Have you had your eye on one of our assessments for a while? Well, a new year is the perfect time to try something new.

If your current cosmetic range only features bath bombs, why not try your hand at bubble bars?

You might find that attempting a new creation sparks a whole new wave of motivation and it’s a great way to pass the days during the winter months when the weather is too horrible to venture out in.

Adjust Your Expectations

Probably our most important piece of advice of all, is during the winter months, lower your expectations! No matter what your skill level or product range, all cosmetic creators see peaks and troughs in their purchases.

This is the time when people are spending a lot of money on bills, so they might not have as much disposable income as they normally do.

Try not to take it personally if you see a dip in your sales right now, people might just be saving their money for Christmas!
