If you count holidays and weekends, they constitute about one-third of the year. It doesn’t feel that way, but it is true. Think about what impact that has:
> for those in the tourism or recreation industries, you can rejoice that consumers really do have a lot of disposable time
> for dieters or those exercising to lose weight, it means you really can’t fall off the wagon every weekend and holiday and still expect to shed the pounds
> for those in office settings, you need to consider how you serve your customers and prospective customers during the one-third of the year that you are not there to answer the phone
> for retailers, it provides a bonanza of opportunities for themed sales
> for educators, you need to consider how to provide a year’s worth of learning in a year minus one-third and summer
What opportunities lie in weekends and holidays for you or your organization? Maybe you can start taking advantage of them today!
