Every year when the holidays roll around many business owners feel
torn between our business and our families. How do we keep
both on an even keel and retain our sanity? Impossible, some
of you are saying. Ya right, others express. The truth of
the matter is that with proper planning your business will
propel itself while you enjoy your holidays with friends and
family.
Rather than waiting for the last minute to figure out how to
sustain both your family and your income while also trying to
include all the extra curricular activities beginning mapping
out your strategies and implementing them now.
For example, if you don't already have a business blog consider
how one can benefit your bottom line and get yours started today.
If you already have one, why not write all your posts early and
then when you want to publish them you will only have to hit
the publish button. Don't have the time to even do that? Hire
a competent Virtual Assistant (VA) to handle these mundane
tasks.
Many of you have already worked with autoresponders. These
tools can be put to good use during the holidays. Early planning
of your marketing efforts will pay off generously when utilizing
the scheduling sequence that autoresponders offer.
There are many tools that fit in this category. You can set up
your whole biz as a big automated machine. Here's a list to get your
creative juices flowing: Google ads, landing pages, email messages,
videos, audios, interviews, and live chats with you and your staff.
These can all be set up so that your visitors will move from one
stage to the next with little or no effort on your part.
Take advantage of these tools by planning, writing, and preparing
all your holiday specials way before they need to be implemented.
These are just a couple of ideas to keep you and your business
on track while others are away.
