Slowing Down
Well, the holiday slowdown is upon us. If you're in a B2B service industry, you know what I'm talking about: no one wants to work between Thanksgiving and about a week after New Year's.
Well, there's one exception to that: There is always the one or two clients I have that are desperately trying to push something out before the Christmas/NewYear's vortex (from which no productive time can escape, it seems), and EVERYTHING HAS TO BE DONE RIGHT NOW! I MEAN NOW, MISTER!!!
Yeah, so it's basically a mix of laid-back clients who may or may not return a phone call in the next six weeks, and people who want to surgically implant a Blackberry into your brain so they can have constant contact with you. Not quite enough lassitude to allow for a full-on vacation, but enough that the manic clients with the rush projects can be accommodated. Quite an equitable balance, I suppose.
I am not alone in this observation, by the way. Every shop I've ever worked in, ever printer I've talked to, has mentioned this. Businesses just want to not deal with new projects right now. But trust me, January is a whole different story.Labels: b2b, clients, holiday, vacation, xmas
