Kicking off the summer in (creative) style
Yesterday (June 21st) was the
Summer Solstice, which marks the longest day of the year.
Besides more “
al fresco work days” (via laptop and wireless), I’ve been planning a few ways for my small business to kick off summer in creative style.
How I kicked off my summer…
Sending a “Happy Summer Solstice” card
I like to stay in touch with clients and friends by sending cards with a handwritten note throughout the year. And since my logo is the sun, sending a
“summer solstice” card seemed only natural.
TIP: sending a card on a less-expected holiday always makes an impact.
Attending the HOW Design Conference
Leaving the office for a few days to get creatively inspired and network with other professionals is important for small business owners—especially solopreneurs. So this year, I decided to attend the
HOW Design Conference, which just happens to take place in my hometown!
TIP: let your clients know you will be out of the office at a professional conference. They will appreciate knowing that you are working on improving your business (which benefits them!)
