5 Ways To Help Clients At The End of the Year
It is hard to believe that December is here and we will be welcoming in the New Year very soon. Many of your clients still have things they need to do before changing the calendar to 2014 that can be outsourced to a virtual assistant.
Here are 5 things you can do to help with the end of the year push.
- Communicate! This is a busy month, and time is flying by. Be sure and reach out to your client by email, phone, or Skype to remind them that you can help wrap up administrative tasks.
- Website Review. Offer to make sure all information on their website is updated with new business testimonials and photos, so that the website is refreshed and ready for visitors in the new year.
- Organize Emails. Many of your clients would really appreciate starting 2014 with an inbox that isn’t cluttered. Offer to create or purge both their active or reference-only emails. With a little guidance from your client, this can be a great project to help them with.

Holiday Related Virtual Assistance
This is a great time of the year to offer virtual assistant services that are geared specifically towards the holidays.
A busy executive may not know that a virtual assistant can:
- book their holiday travel
- brainstorm gift ideas and find the best prices
- create digital photobooks
- order and mail holiday cards
- help with marketing holiday promotions
- handle emails and/or phone calls while they are away
Remember, the status quo is not always the best way to retain or attract customers. Being a virtual assistant allows you a lot of flexibility and creativity in the kind of services you can provide to your clients. Take advantage of this busy time of the year and realize that most business owners can use an extra hand with a task that is holiday related.
Your goal should be to help your client have a stress-free holiday so that they will not think twice about referring more work to you throughout the coming year.
