For the solo seller who does it all — including this
A Q4 like you've never had.
You don't need a marketing team, a bigger budget, or a bigger following to have your best Q4 yet. You need a plan that actually fits what you have — one person, limited hours, and a store you built yourself.
Sound familiar?
You've watched other Q4s slip by half-planned. You've run a sale that felt busy and still barely moved the needle on profit. You've felt the pressure to compete with big-box retailers using a fraction of their margin. Or maybe you haven't run a real Black Friday campaign at all — not because you didn't want to, but because you never quite knew where to start in time.
None of that means you're doing it wrong. It means nobody ever handed you a plan built for a shop your size. This one is.
Three things that quietly wreck a solo seller's Q4
Without a plan · 01
The blanket discount that quietly breaks even
A flat "20% off everything" sale pulls in orders — and once fees, shipping and materials are counted, some of them clear almost nothing.
With the Playbook: a floor price and a bundle strategy decided before the sale, so orders actually turn into profit.
Without a plan · 02
The blank page that never turns into a campaign
Q4 planning feels like a project with no clear starting point — so it never quite starts at all.
With the Playbook: a week-by-week roadmap from now through early January. Always know the next step.
Without a plan · 03
The pressure to match a big-box discount you can't afford
Big-box retailers can absorb a 40% markdown. A one-person shop can't — not without knowing exactly what it costs.
With the Playbook: a way to feel competitive to customers without quietly eating your own margin.
One simple plan, in four stages
Now → mid-Nov · Black Friday → Cyber Monday · December · Late Dec → early Jan
Stage One
Get Ready
- Stock check & supplier lead times
- Margin-safe pricing & bundle framework — find your floor price before you discount
- Store housekeeping checklist
- A 3-email warm-up sequence, ready to fill in
- Your Profit Tracker, set up before Q4 starts
⚠ Without a plan: pricing decided in a panic on the day, margin found out about in January.
Stage Two
Peak Week
- A fill-in-the-blank daily plan, Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday
- Running peak week as a solo operator — what to skip, what to protect
- A Peak-Week Contingency Page — site down, supplies short, called away
- Daily Profit Tracker habit, two minutes a day
⚠ Without a plan: improvising through the busiest, highest-stakes week of the year.
Stage Three
The Rest of Q4
- Recovery Week — a plan for the returns & message backlog right after Cyber Monday
- Gift-guide merchandising ideas, no new products needed
- Shipping-cutoff template
- Post-purchase follow-up email, turning gift buyers into repeat customers
⚠ Without a plan: December's backlog absorbed one exhausted day at a time.
Stage Four
The Close
- A short reflection — what worked, what to change, captured while it's fresh
- Profit Tracker roll-up — a real number, not a guess, for whether Q4 was profitable
⚠ Without a plan: a vague feeling about the quarter instead of a real answer.
Everything included

This is for you if...
- You run your shop alone, or close to it
- You've felt the pressure of Q4 without a clear plan to meet it
- You've discounted before and weren't sure it actually paid off
- You want this Q4 to be different — not busier, better
This isn't for you if...
- You run a large team with a dedicated marketing budget
- You're looking for a guaranteed income outcome — this is a plan, not a promise
- You want generic big-brand advice that assumes resources you don't have

Questions sellers ask
Will this actually work for a shop as small as mine?
That's exactly who this was built for — not a team with an ad manager, not a brand with a marketing budget, just one person running their own shop. No jargon, no tactics that assume resources you don't have.
Is this a physical product?
No — it's an instant digital download. Fill it in digitally or print it at home, whichever suits you.
Does this guarantee a specific income result?
No — this is a plan, not a promise. It gives you the structure and decisions to make before Q4 hits, not a guaranteed outcome.
What if I already have some of this figured out?
Each section stands on its own — use what you need, skip what you've already got covered.
This is a planning and organizational tool, not financial, tax, legal, or business advice. Individual results will vary.
Why we built SORTED
SORTED started with a very ordinary, very Irish problem: a family member passes away, and the people left behind are handed a mountain of admin at the exact moment they have the least capacity to deal with it. The bank doesn't know. The pension provider doesn't know. Revenue doesn't know. Nobody rings anyone — it's on the family to work it all out, one exhausting phone call at a time, while they're grieving.
We watched people we care about go through exactly this — drawers turned out looking for paperwork, accounts frozen for months, one person carrying the whole load while everyone else second-guessed what to do. None of it was because anyone didn't care. It was simply because nobody had ever written the plan down.
What SORTED is
SORTED is a step-by-step, printable planning guide built specifically around Irish law, forms and deadlines — covering the three windows that actually matter after someone dies: the First 48 Hours, the First 30 Days, and the First 12 Months. It isn't a will, and it isn't legal advice. It's the practical companion to a will — the part that tells your family what to actually do, in what order, and who to contact, so they're never left guessing.
Every fact, form and deadline in SORTED is checked against Revenue.ie, Courts.ie, Tailte Éireann, Citizens Information and gov.ie, and reviewed regularly as rules change.
