I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas

I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas – Do you need something else to send to your clients this time of year? No, not Holiday recipes, but items they may find interesting and useful.

Look at a few ideas I jotted below to see if any of these work for you. Please be my guest and send them to your database. Ho! Ho! Ho!! (you may not want to use the image as I use Canva Pro – let me know if you would like your own Canva Pro.)

Recycle wrapping paper

I know you can’t recycle it on the curb, but reuse it. I used to cringe when my Mom would carefully unwrap a present so she could reuse the paper …. who knew she was such an environmentalist way back then, and so what if “To Suzie” was scratched out and “To Sandy” written in? There was less in the landfill.

Purchase brown mailing paper to wrap presents in.

If you have young children, give them markers (washable?) or crayons and let ’em create to their heart’s content. Now, try to throw their little masterpieces out. I bet you’ll save them for next year or later …. like when they have children, reuse their creative wrapping paper.

OR Have you seen the paper sacks at Trader Joe’s? They have minimal TJ branding and can be used as gift bags or wrapping paper – PLUS, those bags are recyclable. WIN WIN!!

Wrap gifts in the newspaper or the comic strip section.

Those were going to be thrown in the recycling anyway.

Gift bags.

Don’t mark them; they can be used for years and years and years. Tissue paper can also be reused.

E- Christmas cards

I know you can’t string ecards on a string or display them neatly on a shelf or wall, but all those cards get tossed in the recycling dumpster anyway. Perhaps if someone really wants to keep them – save them in a particular email folder – or better yet – if it’s a photo, save the pic and turn it into a slide show.

Want a roaring fire and don’t have wood or a fireplace?

Here you go:

Sorry, I digress … but ’tis the season we really need to make sure
our indulgences do not overfill our landfills. And be sure to recycle Christmas Tree Lights!

Sandy, you've done an amazing job getting me "plugged in." I will certainly be recommending you!

Sandy at Bild a Better Business continues to amaze me with her expertise and generousity!

“Sandy Bild is the most efficient and effective assistant I have had the pleasure to work with. She is ALWAYS on time with assignments and is very proficient with her work. She is able to mutli-task and keep work-load running smoothly. One of the things I found most helpful with Sandy is that she keeps on top of my busy schedule and keeps me organized. She is self-sufficient and a self-starter. The experience she brings to the field is invaluable.”

“In the past 3 ½ years Sandy has worked with me, it feels no longer like it’s my business but it’s ours. Together we work perfectly as a team. I know my strengths and I certainly appreciate hers. Sandy has been able to take down my creative ideas and put them on paper to create what I believe to be an outstanding reflection of my business. She has given me the ability to focus on what I do best, sell real estate! Instead of me using my precious time working on the details of advertising, blog posts, researching the proper materials for keeping my clients informed, I count on Sandy for that task! Having someone who “gets it” and then put it into text and production is essential and she does that!”
