Halloween Teaches a Lesson in Client Relations

Share the goods.

Halloween just passed and in true 8THIRTYFOUR style, the day was marked with lots of treats…and a few tricks – we like to keep things interesting.
We love holidays – they are a great opportunity to connect with clients, friends, and family in ways that are fun and unique.
For Halloween, we spent some time brainstorming a few different ideas like HalloWINE, Boooo(ze)!, and Halloweenie…and not only did we discover how expensive it is to overnight-ship organic hotdogs, we also spent time as a team thinking about how client engagement aligns with our brand. We landed on a simple gesture and message that while not over the top, taught us two things.

  1. A little goes a long way
  2. Our customers appreciate it

Our Halloween treats weren’t complicated, but they made an impact and made our clients smile.

And now, with Halloween barely behind us, it’s time to start thinking ahead.
End of the year holidays are right around the corner: how will you connect with your customers and clients in meaningful ways that support your brand? If you aren’t sure where to start, we would love to help! Maybe this year your organization could make a donation to a cause you care about instead of sending gifts. Perhaps a New Year’s card is more appropriate. Specific holiday celebrations might not align with your brand, so what is the right fit?
Whatever you decide, just make sure that you have our updated mailing address on your gift list! We kid, we kid. We know you already updated our address months ago.
But seriously, let’s chat about your end of year gifts or celebrations, and create a memorable strategy. Taking the time to brainstorm is not only a great team building exercise but also can have a positive impact on your clients.
 
So, don’t wait. Start planning now!

Something on Your Mind?

Who made all these rules anyway?

Don’t wear color. Don’t share your ideas. Don’t put yourself out there. Don’t talk about your family.

We’re told to follow them, but @bodespeaks says question every single one. Then uncover your big hairy audacious goal, throw out the rulebook, and build a personal brand that actually works for you.

Thank you to Aggie and Cristy for having Kim on the @badass_women_in_business Podcast and, well... for being total badasses.

Listen to the full episode in bio.
We had some fun in the office this week and asked some of the 8THIRTYFOUR team what “square up” means.

Surprisingly, the Gen Z of the group got it, but one of our Gen X’s did not (not saying any names…)

How do you “square up”?

We love Dr. Karen May’s mission.

What if we taught our daughters AND our sons about women’s health, hormones, and pregnancy? Not as a whispered “talk” or a one-time awkward conversation. Just normal dinner-table stuff.

The girls deserve to know what’s coming (perimenopause shouldn’t be a surprise party nobody wanted). And the boys? They’ll be partners, dads, coworkers, and bosses to women going through all of it.

Thank you, Dr. May, for sharing your best practices to keep the women’s health conversation going at our Uncomfortable Conversations | The Pause event.
Showing up to an interview with an iced coffee? Not the move… unless it’s for @bodespeaks
