National Time Management Month

Being a small business owner, you know how much time management matters. Why not target home based or small business owners who have a lot to do and not enough time to get it all done. Create a brochure or quick tip list flyer that can be given to clients and prospective clients with a few ways that they can manage their time, including using your services.

Offer a discount for the month based on the amount of time that you can save clients this month who use your services. For example, if you are requested to perform a list of services that will save a client 10 hours this month, offer them 10% off their services.

National Hot Breakfast Month

Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, why not work with offices to provide hot breakfast items in their lunch/break rooms. You can offer to do the grocery shopping to stock their lunch/break room.

You can offer to have a local chef come in and provide small cooking demonstrations for some easy recipes that the employees can create on their own. Create a little kit that the employees can grab that includes coupons for the items being used, as well as recipe cards. You can also include a coupon to the restaurant that the chef works at that the employees can use.

You can connect with a local nutritionist to come in and give a brief discussion about why it is important for the employees’ to eat hot breakfasts for their health. (Remind the one in charge of the business about high health premiums and high absenteeism that keep their employees from being as productive as possible because they are not eating right if they need incentive to go along with these promotions.)

February Promotions

As someone whose business it is to save people time, February is full of opportunities to promote your services to current and prospective clients.

Here is today’s ideas:

National Children’s Dental Health Month

Many parents today both work, which means that it is hard to find time to schedule health appointments for their children. Offer to set up appointments for the children and connect with a taxi service or other driving service to pick up and take the children to and from the dentist appointments while the parents are working.

You can also offer to go to the store and pick up any new or replacement dental supplies that the family may need, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, or toothpicks. Since most toothbrush companies suggest that toothbrushes be replaced every three months, set up a color coded schedule to come in and replace the items on a regular basis for them.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday

You have 4 days to save big!

 

Every year you have those people who are lining up in the COLD weather (Brrr!!!) for great sales as soon as they have sucked down their turkey dinner.

This year you don’t have line up for my sale. Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you will be able to save 50% off any of my products. So, line up figuratively (if you wish, but I am sleeping in) at midnight on Friday, November 25 and grab all of the products you want. This sale ends at midnight PT on Monday, November 28, so don’t miss out.

The code to save 50% is TURKEY. (Remember, this code won’t work until Friday at the stroke of midnight!)

I’m turning 40!

Well, I have finally hit a major milestone in my life. One when I thought I was little that I would never reach, but apparently I have. I would like you to help me celebrate this year. How? I am offering 40% off all of my products right now through September 27, 2011 (which is my actual birthday). Use the code: IAM40 during checkout to receive your discount.

Celebrate good times, come on!
