REACH OUT TO YOUR CURRENT CUSTOMERS

This is the time of year to give thanks, after all. Reach out to your past or current customers with a special holiday greeting. You can include a special offer for past customers only, or just a simple “we appreciate you and happy holidays” greeting. Choose what’s right for you and your business, but everyone loves to feel appreciated.

ADJUST YOUR HOURS

Update your holiday hours on your Google My Business Page. If you are closed or have shortened hours on any of the upcoming holiday’s dates, make sure to update them on your GMB page. Also, confirm the holiday schedule with your staff. Make sure any time off is covered and busy hours have enough backup support.
