Is Your Market in a Slowdown – or is it your Business? Have your clients or contacts seemed to vanish? Is this slowdown related to the Holiday Season, or could it be more?

Addressing business slowdowns with a strategic marketing plan, maintaining consistent communication with clients, and leveraging the services of a Professional Virtual Expert are vital strategies for business revival.

While your business might have regular slow periods, it doesn’t have to stay that way. Opportunities are within reach, but how can you liven up your market?

Implementing a well-thought-out marketing plan generates leads within a few months and sets the stage for busier periods three to six months down the line. You’re investing in your future success by engaging with your database now.

Maintaining a consistent presence in front of your existing clients and contacts is crucial.


During this slower phase, consider creating a marketing plan to send emails and postcards/mailers and make personal phone calls, providing them with valuable and relevant information. There are numerous strategies to achieve this without turning off your audience. Providing helpful information will be appreciated by your clients and contacts, potentially prompting them to initiate contact with you. The more information you send them, the more they’ll see you as “THEIR” professional, and the higher the likelihood they’ll consult or recommend you. Consistent communication will position you as an expert in your field and within your market.

However, maintaining client contact can be challenging, especially as your workload increases.


A Professional Virtual Expert is more than just an assistant. They’re an invaluable asset who can help you create and manage your client database and marketing campaigns. While you’re engaging with clients and contacts, your Virtual Expert is working tirelessly behind the scenes for you.

Be sure to start engaging with your clients now. Investing just an hour or two a day or week can significantly increase your market activity. The holiday rush will pass; before you know it, 2024 will arrive, potentially ushering in a vibrant market. Start now and reap the benefits later.

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!”

Marketing Myth: “You Need to Send a Holiday Card to Stay Top-of-Mind

Holiday cards. Everyone sends them. And that’s the problem.

By the time your glossy “Happy Holidays” hits the mailbox, it’s swimming in a sea of red envelopes and scripted greetings that all look and sound… the same.

The truth? You don’t need to blend in during December to stay top-of-mind; you need to stand out before or after the crowd shows up.

This year, some of my clients are skipping the cliché and leaning into bold, unexpected touchpoints like a “New Year, Fresh Start” campaign or a January postcard that celebrates your client, not just the season.
