The Trump Effect

For months leading up to the election, gym owners across the country were struggling. Facebook ad costs had skyrocketed, leads disappeared, and consumer spending froze. No matter how much they tested or tweaked their strategies, the results just weren’t there.Then, something remarkable happened. The day after the election, everything changed. Ad performance improved, leads started pouring in, and the optimism in the air was almost tangible. For many businesses, it felt like a light switch had been flipped.This wasn’t just a coincidence – it’s what Tim and Randy are calling "The Trump Effect." Political events, especially elections, don’t just impact governments – they ripple through the economy, shaping consumer confidence, business performance, and marketing outcomes.In this episode, Tim and Randy break down why understanding these macro trends is critical for small business success.
