The #Holidaze are officially here, and BBB® Serving Central Oklahoma is dedicated to helping you navigate the season.
To help, we’ve brought back our expert head elf, Trusty! With Trusty’s tips below (in both written and video format!), you and your business will thrive in the pandemic.
Be festive
Get on board with the season and have some fun – Christmas Trees, red and green, the whole nine yards! If your team is virtual, check out these holiday zoom backgrounds and encourage holiday attire on #CasualFriday. It’s December – let’s get festive!
Find a trusted business
Shopping for the #Holidaze2020, but not sure where to start? Shop safely by checking all retailers at BBB.org.
Communicate with and take care of your employees
Finalize your holiday hours through the end of the year. Share updates with staff and update those hours on your website, voicemail system, and Google pages! Consider regular meetings and communication via text and email with your staff and use this time/format to remind them of safety measures and the deal of the day or week.
After a crazy year, show appreciation to your team for all their hard work. Don’t have a way to buy gifts this year? Consider giving your team extra time off to prep for the #holidaze. Read more here about taking care of your employees during the holiday season.
