Are the Christmas decorations in the shops yet? We've said goodbye to FY24, and now the only thing standing in between us and Christmas, is well, Halloween. So you know those Christmas decorations could pop up at any minute now. If you're a small business owner that markets direct to customer, whether it's for Products or Services, you need to start thinking about your run to Christmas...now! The truth is media spend starts to increase from September / October, and then all the way to Christmas. So this is the perfect quarter to focus on building your email list. More subscribers, more low cost marketing opportunities. More VIP offers. More sales that don't depend on a paid ads budget. Whats your email list looking like? Would you like some more ideas to see it grow?

It’s day three of our Christmas countdown 🎄 Are you over promising and underdelivering ? Something we are coming across when visiting or speaking to providers. Is this you? 🎄 Promising to email over details, send a brochure or call again. 🎄 Assuring us that you can meet our loved one’s needs when you haven’t assessed or don’t offer this level of care. 🎄 Advising us that mum won’t ever have to move out if the money runs out even thought the contract says something different. 🎄 Agreeing that it would be no issue for a particular activity or one to one support on a daily basis. Little things maybe, but something an enquirer will remember. Manage their expectations upfront before it becomes an obstacle to move in or even an issue once they do start living in your home! If you are looking to understand more about your customer’s experience then get in touch to book a mystery shop. Our indepth report is full of information to benefit you and your care service.

So, when do we mention the C-word? Christmas… It’s one of our biggest questions for our retail audience at this time of year 🎄 👍 Start too early and your customers get fatigued with seasonal marketing, or even angry that you’re making them think about it. 👎 Leave it too late and you miss out on valuable sales and engagement. ⚖️ We’re tried a few methods, but we’d love to know how your organisation strikes the right balance. 📧 For us, using humour can work (a recent customer facing email had the subject line ‘Don’t hate us, but… Christmas?). 🎁 We also like to put items that are appropriate for Christmas gifts in front of our consumers without necessarily stating they are festive ideas, but we gradually add more (metaphorical) tinsel to our communications as the weeks roll by. ❤️And then there’s the emotional pull - starting early makes Christmas less stressful for everyone, for customers, retailers and producers. We know our customers care about doing the right thing and this appeal resonates with them. We’d love to know when you start talking about Christmas and what it means for your business. #differentkind #christmas #christmas2024

There is a reason for the season (That actually rhymes, Hehehe...) Not that you don't know, but I thought I should remind you This Christmas season is mainly about giving Giving to people around us Our friends, acquaintances, and anyone we come across (especially those in need) Yes, the pomp and pageantry are important The celebrations are... But the most important thing to do in this season is to give No matter how small or big our gifts might be... What matters most is the impact we are making in the other person's life That "widow's mite" might be just the motivation that person needs to continue living with renewed hope... Let's not get caught up in the celebrations without paying attention to the actual essence of Christmas.

1️⃣ What’s one Christmas gift you wanted as a kid but never got? 2️⃣ Do you prefer using gift bags or wrapping paper to conceal gifts? 3️⃣ Do you return gifts you don’t like to the store or regift them to someone else? 4️⃣ How old were you when you found out Santa was really your parents? 5️⃣ If you have a Christmas tree, do you top it with an angel or a star? Or something else? Welcome to #FridayFunFacts 🤓 When I led my sales teams, one of the tools I used to get to know one another better over time was Friday Fun Facts. ✅ Create a GoogleSheet with each person’s name along the top columns. This will be where they enter their answers each week. ✅ On Mondays, craft up 5 questions for them to answer. The first column will be a rolling list of 5 questions you add to the GoogleSheet each week. ✅ Attach the GoogleSheet link in a calendar invite for 12 noon on Fridays so it’s an occurring meeting on their calendar. Most will complete well before Friday. ✅ Enjoy learning more about your team each and every week as they complete the questions. Best part…seeing your team connect on things they probably never would have known about one another. —— My answers: 1️⃣ A little unrealistic, but I always asked for a pool in our backyard! Video below is from ten years ago as my son Ben opened up a gift he thought he’d never get. 😂 2️⃣ I love to wrap so 99% of the gifts we give are wrapped. If there are multiple gifts for the same person, I use the same wrapping paper design for each gift for that person. 🤷🏻♀️ 3️⃣ If it’s a funny gift that I’ll never use? Def goes in the White Elephant pile to regift! 🎁 4️⃣ I was about 8 or 9 years old. I used to sleep in my older brother’s room on Christmas Eve when I was little and I SWORE I heard Santa’s sleigh one year. 😮 5️⃣ Angel 😇 it’s a homemade one from my mother-in-law and YES! I like it! Wishing you all the merriest season. Happy Friday, everyone 🙌🏻💯❤️

There’s a time and place for everything. I’m knee-deep into creating our holiday gift boxes. We have some super cool box concepts coming up, and I’m in the midst of getting it all together. So when the question came up about whether I should put it on pause to create some Rosh Hashanah gifts, I was a little torn. Gifting for Rosh Hashanah can be tricky if you’re looking to gift something other than a honey dish with honey. And to be honest, my focus is corporate, not homey types of gifts. Then some clients reached out looking for Rosh Hashanah gifts. So we decided to work reactively instead of proactively this time around. Looking to gift for Rosh Hashanah or Sukkot? If you’re looking for something unique for your team, I’m happy to bring your vision to life. Minimum order is 25 pieces. DM me to create something custom for you. And if you’re on the lookout for our holiday catalog, comment below if you’d like me to send it to you once it’s available. #corporategifts #holidaygifting #regards
