Administrative Professionals Day and Week

Administrative Professionals Day, also known as Secretary’s Day, is April 25 and Administrative Professionals Week is April 22-28. Here are a couple of promotions you can offer.

Purchase chocolate hearts and attach a card with the following teaser: “At the ‘heart’ of every successful office is a staff that makes it happen. XYZ Errand Service can help you show you care.”

Offer to set up a luncheon to celebrate all of the administrative professionals at a business. Create mini menus to send to the HR department or the boss with the following teaser: “You can ‘order’ the same old flowers and chocolates to show your appreciation or you can let XYZ Errand Service help you create a lovely luncheon that fills your administrative professionals’ hearts and tummies.”

Car Care Month

Here is a promotion for Car Care Month. If you don’t already have some mobile car detailers available, line some up. Offer a special to an office building. You can work out a deal with the vendor where they will offer a discounted rate, you charge the client the full amount, and you collect that difference as your fee. You can set up appointments for several cars to be done each week in April. Purchase a small bucket, hand towel, squeegee, and a few other items from the Dollar Tree Store. Place it at the offices as a reminder to use the car services and offer a drawing for all of those that get their car washed during the month of April. The grand prize can be a free car wash.

National Pet ID Week

National Pet ID Week is April 15-21. Here are a few ideas that you can use to promote your services for that week.

Offer to go to the local pet stores and get pet ID tags for your clients who do not have them. Create a card in the shape of a dog tag and add the following teaser: “Let XYZ Errand Service increase the odds of your pet being returned to you by allowing us to get a pet ID tag for you this week.”

Offer to take your clients’ pets in to be microchipped. Create a card in the shape of a dog tag and add the following teaser: “Let XYZ Errand Service ‘chip’ in and help you get your dog tagged with a microchip this week.”

Offer to take pictures of your clients’ pets so that if they ever have to make “Lost” posters, they will always have an updated picture of their animal. Create a “Lost” postcard the following teaser: “Don’t ‘lose’ this opportunity to make sure your pets will be reunited with you. Let XYZ Errand Service photograph your pets so you always have a current picture.”

Easter Peeps Promotion

Purchase a box of Peeps and attach a card to the box with the following teaser: “Let XYZ Errand Service take a ‘peep’ at your to-do list and suggest some ways that we can help you get rid of it.”

No Housework Day

No Housework Day is April 7. You can help schedule a day of fun activities that the family can do that day instead of cleaning. Offer to schedule a housecleaning company to come in and clean the house while they are gone for the day. If you will be focusing on just the woman, then you can schedule some pampering services for her, such as a day at the spa. You can create a group package for a group of women. You can include a day, or half day, at the spa, a meal at a restaurant, and a movie date.
