With Victoria Day weekend  (here in Canada) almost upon us, I thought it would be a good time to share a couple of things that will move your business forward by helping you stand out from all the others. 

It’s simple and oh so clever!

Consider sending out a simple “Happy Victoria Day Weekend!” email to your customers and your connections on LinkedIn wishing them an awesome long weekend. It’s sounds silly but I know that when I’ve gotten those kind of messages, it made my day. I didn’t have to respond, think, buy … nothing.  Just smile.

It’s a great way to keep your name, your face and your company in a person’s mind. It keeps you on their radar.

The most amazing bonus to this? Whenever people are on vacation, or away for a long weekend, what do they set their emails to? Go to the head of the class if you said “Our of Office Reply”! Woohoo!

This gives you a ton of information such as cell phone numbers, names of alternate contacts and their numbers/emails etc. 

Don’t stop there. Get on your calendar and schedule in ALL the major holidays to send a happy ‘no-sell’ message.

Simple. sincere and oh so smart. (you’re welcome!)
