The Holiday Profit Playbook Part 1 | The Gratitude-to-Gift Season

Host Megan Hansel, kicks off the most crucial time of year for online sellers—the holiday stretch between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. Instead of chasing discounts and hype, Megan dives into the psychology behind what she calls the “Gratitude-to-Gift Season.” She explores how shoppers shift from feeling thankful to becoming generous spenders, and how dropshippers can align their product strategy, messaging, and store setup to ride that emotional wave.

From bundling everyday items into irresistible “holiday prep essentials” to building gift guides that resonate on an emotional level, Megan unpacks actionable strategies that turn seasonal chaos into structured success. Listeners will learn how to craft messaging that sells through connection, plan promotions that align with buyer emotions, and use Doba’s U.S.-based product catalog to stay ahead of the rush. It’s not about luck, it’s about leverage, preparation, and understanding what customers really want this season.
