Keep your business on task during Carnival Season.
Focusing on business during Mardi Gras is a challenge. To get the job done while merrymaking, try these tips:
Acknowledge there will be diversions. Navigate parade routes in advance to get from point A to B.
Be flexible. Adjust hours or work remotely.
Express expectations. Discuss responsibilities with employees. Serving clients trumps catching beads.
Communicate with clients and vendors. Share contact information, plans and schedules.
Capitalize on the event. Leverage Mardi Gras in your marketing efforts, from social media postings to sending king cakes.
Let the good times roll! Celebrate the city that care forgot – at least for a day.
