In this episode of the Customer Connect Podcast, I dive into one of the most common questions seasonal business owners face: should you add a complementary product or even launch a second business to smooth out the quieter months? 

On the surface it sounds logical, but in reality it can add more complexity than profit. I share my own experience of running a Christmas retail store alongside a party supply business, the pitfalls I discovered, and the key questions you need to ask before heading down that road. 

Sometimes the smartest strategy isn’t adding more—it’s doubling down on what you already do best.
