Halloween Teaches a Lesson in Client Relations

Share This Post:

An orange background with cartoon cats features a witch hat and the words, "This is no trick, here is a treat! 8THIRTYFOUR Integrated Communications."

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!

Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.

The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energy™.

Kim is speaking at theProject™ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She`ll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking.

No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn`t pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it.

If you know a business owner, tell them they`re doing a good job. It matters more than you know.

The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business.

Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can`t be vulnerable.

Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.

When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back. Full article at the link in bio.
