Your clients won’t be surprised if you take some time off over the festive season or early January - but they won’t be so happy if it appears you are open for business when you aren’t!

So make sure you have announced when your business will not be available - it can be a note stuck to the door, a message on your website, a notice in your last newsletter, a mention in your blog, a note added to a Christmas card, or a combination of these.

And make the message clear - does closed until 31 December mean you will be working on or after the 31st?
