The holiday season is here, and that can mean big opportunities for your Virtual Assistant business! While some businesses seem to be on-hold until the new year, you can make your VA business heat up by offering a few new limited-time services. Small businesses and entrepreneurs need extra help this time of year with their overflowing to-do list. Consider promoting these special holiday season services to local businesses and your current clients, and watch your practice expand!
- Help clients spread the word about their seasonal promotions and special offers. Perhaps they need to add fresh content to their website, send a holiday season newsletter to current customers, or design and run advertisements in the local newspaper.
- Research gift ideas for your client. Purchase, order or make special deliveries.
- Take over the time-consuming task of sending holiday cards. Order, sign, stuff, seal, stamp and mail! Remind your clients how much time this can save them.
- Take all of the work out of planning a holiday get-together for your clients. Plan the event, manage RSVP’s, and attend the event to make sure it runs smoothly.
- Help with general administrative tasks in November and December so your clients can focus on what they do best.
- Manage calls and emails while your clients take time to spend with their family.
How do you get the word out about your holiday services?
- Tell anyone and everyone you know – make word of mouth marketing work for you!
- Update your website
- Notify your current clients
- Attend the next Chamber of Commerce meeting in your community, or ask a representative if they can help you access email or mail addresses of Chamber members.
