How to Keep Your Business Buzzing During the Slowdown with Assistants 4 Hire

With Summer just around the corner, there’s no better time than now to start preparing your business for the inevitable “summer slowdown.”

What is Summer Slowdown?

As phrased by Forbes:

“Summer slowdown is a common phenomenon in which businesses experience a dip in activity during the warmer months. This is often due to customers going on vacation, spending more time outdoors, and generally focusing less on their usual buying habits. While this can be stressful for businesses, it’s important to remember that it’s a temporary phase.”

What does this mean for YOU?

Well, for many business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs, now is the perfect time to cultivate a game plan that not only prepares your business for the Summer, but you as well!

What if your summer content could run itself while you sip a cold drink by the pool? How amazing would it be if you could actually take a vacation – one where you can go completely offline and the only thing you have to worry about is whether you brought enough sunscreen?

I’m happy to say that this is completely possible – and it all starts with Assistants 4 Hire!

The Power of Strategic Planning

To start off, it’s all about prepping your summer marketing calendar in advance.

This includes, but is not limited to:

Campaigns and promotions
Blog posts and email sequences
Social media content and scheduling

With a Virtual Assistant, not only do you get the support of a professional who can help build out your marketing calendar and coordinate deliverables to ensure that everything is ready for launch time, but you also get to stay focused on the bigger picture while your VA hashes out everything behind the scenes.

Fresh Summer Content That Connects

Of course, Summer is also the best time for taking a more themed approach towards your marketing strategy. Ideally, people are looking for light, inspiring, and fun content that not only boosts their mood, but keeps them engaged!

It’s the perfect season for:

Seasonal how-tos and tips (Think: “5 Ways to Stay Productive on Summer Fridays”)
Behind-the-scenes glimpses of your business or team
Customer spotlights or testimonials that build social proof
Interactive content like quizzes, polls, or giveaways that spark engagement

Our team at Assistants 4 Hire can brainstorm and help bring these ideas to life—whether it’s writing blog posts, designing graphics in Canva, or scheduling everything. With fresh content tailored to the season, your brand stays front and center without being salesy or overwhelming.

Why Summer Is the Best Time to Hire a VA

Now, don’t get me wrong – having a Virtual Assistant in your corner year round can make the biggest difference for your business and for yourself! However, if there was an optimal time to give working with Assistants 4 Hire a try, now is the time.

If you’ve ever said, “I’ll get to that when things slow down…” summer is your moment.
