December is not the finish line. It is the setup.
If January is typically slow, the time to fix that is while you are already printing something.
Decide now what you want a customer to do after the holidays. Book a January appointment. Request an estimate for a first-quarter project. Redeem an offer once the season is over. Sign up for a maintenance plan. Refer a neighbor.
Then put that next step on the postcards, door hangers and thank-you cards going out over the next six weeks — rather than on the ones you have not designed yet.
One more thing worth doing this month: confirm your holiday hours everywhere customers look. Website, voicemail, social profiles, printed signage. Google supports special hours for temporary changes and recommends confirming them even when they match your normal ones.
