Ho,Ho,Ho!

Seasons greetings everyone,
I have not posted in a while so I first want to say I'm sorry for that. Been busy wrapping up the jobs that have been a big part of what we did this year and of course getting ready for the Christmas season(shopping, etc...)but that brings me to the reason that I decided to post today.
This time of year professional painters as with any other types of contracting business usually find that the jobs are becoming harder to find because people are holding on to their money with Christmas and New Years right around the corner. The same thing happens every year and I'm hear to tell you that it will happen again next year and the year after that and so on, but as a business owner and a professional you need to stop panicking and quit worrying because everything will be fine.

What you need to do is exactly what you have been doing(or should have been doing)all along and that means that you need to keep advertising, promoting your business any way you can.
Calling your past customers and asking if they need any painting work done or if they have any neighbors that need any painting. There are many ways to get your name out there in front of potential customers, but the bottom line is you need to work as hard to acquire new customers as
you did with the customers that you had this previous year. You'll find that you'll build your pipeline back up again and be able to continue to move forward with building and growing your business and that is what we all strive to do.

Good luck in the new year and beyond.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
