It Isn't Too Late to Spread Holiday Cheer and Get More BUSINESS!!!

Just when you think you have exhausted all of your creativity for the holiday season with your clients, think again. Two of our valued colleagues and partners in crime (that is, the crime of stealing business from our competitors) are at it again! Carolyn Maldonado of Commerce, CA and Raul Huete of Huntington Park, CA have been out for the past few days dressed up as Santa Claus and his worker elf and they have let all the great businesses in their area know it!

What has this resulted in? MORE business, several ORDERS in the past few days, and a MEMORY that the target clients will never forget! They even came across a company that was having their Christmas luncheon with our competition there!!! That didn't stop Carolyn and Raul though. They marched in with all their holiday glory and stole the show! By the end of their visit they had pictures with everyone, even the President of the company! They are going to send the pictures in a promo to the clients after the holiday season.

I have a feeling there is a lot of new clients that will result because of their efforts. Here are a few additional ideas for great holiday promos that will set you apart and get those orders!

1. Do as Raul and Carolyn - dress up, go pass out candy canes with your business card and take a picture with the staff members of your target account to send to them later.

2. Send out a personalized TokBox message to all of the e-mails you have in your contacts box. There are cool holiday borders you can use and it's FREE! www.tokbox.com

3. ElfYourself and send it out to prospects! If you can't access this on your Select network send me photos and I will do it for you - here is an example of one that I recently did for the fabulous Aurora, CO staff - http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/view/FNtFHzZ9aosbEtxE

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Let's capitalize on the happiest time of year :)
