Founders wear every hat
At a small brand, the founder writes the ads, answers customer email and handles suppliers. They read email late at night and decide fast. A clear, short note about one problem, such as repeat purchase rate or ad costs, fits their day.
Peak season matters
| Period | What brands are doing |
|---|---|
| September to October | Planning and building for the holidays |
| November to December | Peak selling; no time for new vendors |
| January to February | Reviewing results, choosing tools for the year |
| Spring | Steady; good for conversations |
