In this episode, Helen dives into the often-overlooked benefits of marketing during the so-called "quiet" months of August and December. While many businesses pause their marketing efforts during these periods, Helen argues that these months are actually prime opportunities to gain traction and secure new clients.
She explains that the common belief that everyone is on holiday in August or too distracted by the holidays in December is a misconception. By continuing to market during these times, you can reach decision-makers more easily and stand out in a less crowded market. Helen shares insights on how her own business thrives by booking meetings and securing new clients when others have slowed down.
She also discusses the importance of not letting the end-of-year mindset affect your marketing strategy, emphasizing the value of year-long programs and end-of-year offers. Helen encourages listeners to test this approach in their own businesses, highlighting the potential for significant gains.
Tune in to discover why August and December should be your secret weapons for successful marketing and how to make the most of these months when others are taking a break.
