Strategies for How to Finish the Year Strong

The holiday season presents unique challenges—and opportunities.

Here are actionable strategies to boost your business, engage your clients, and finish the year on a high note.

1. Give the Gift of Organization

Turn your expertise into a meaningful holiday gift. Create holiday-specific promotions, such as gift certificates for organizing sessions, and market them as practical, thoughtful presents. Highlight the emotional and functional value of organization—whether it's transforming a closet, streamlining a pantry, or creating a clutter-free workspace.

Consider offering tiered packages that fit different budgets or include a bonus for early purchases, like a free consultation or a small organizing kit. A beautifully designed gift certificate could also make this promotion more enticing to your clients.

Bonus tip: You could host a giveaway on social media. This is a great way to grow your following and gain new business. Consider adding one of our gift certificates to your giveaway!

2. Declutter Before the Holidays

The lead-up to the holiday season is a prime time to promote decluttering services. Position yourself as the solution to the chaos that often comes with hosting guests, decorating, and receiving gifts.

  • Pre-Holiday Purge: Offer packages aimed at clearing out storage spaces, playrooms, or kitchens. Emphasize how making room now ensures holiday decorations, gifts, and party supplies are easy to store.

  • Pantry Perfection: Promote a kitchen refresh so clients can showcase their neatly organized pantry while entertaining guests. Offer tips like grouping baking supplies or labeling holiday-themed items for easy access.

  • Guest Bedroom Makeover: Help your clients prepare a welcoming, organized guest space by optimizing the closet or adding thoughtful touches like luggage racks or extra hangers.

  • Paper Pile Solution: Market your expertise in taming paper clutter—an eyesore no one wants during holiday gatherings.

Use social media to showcase “before and after” transformations, focusing on spaces clients typically need ready for the season.

3. Organizing for a Fresh Start

The New Year means a fresh start. Position your services as the ultimate way for clients to get a head start on their resolutions.

  • Early-Bird Packages: Offer special rates or exclusive sessions in December for clients who want to begin their New Year organizing journey early.

  • System Overhaul: Market your ability to create sustainable organizing systems, ensuring clients start the year with order and clarity. For businesses, this could include office organization services, like filing systems or supply storage.

  • Goal Setting with Organizing: Host a workshop or webinar about “How to Stay Organized Year-Round,” tying it into productivity and goal-setting strategies for the New Year.
