Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce hosted a super fun event at the The Glen at Crossmount honouring 2024 SABEX finalists! Ashleigh got to hang out with some of our favourite colleagues: client Jolene Watson with Clarity Coaching & Development and suppliers Kirstin and Chris with S*k Pics. Thanks to Jolene for the pictures!

There were so many nuggets of wisdom from Chris S*korsky and Kirstin Meadows with S*k Pics at the recent Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce Chamber on Tap event! Here's what stood out:
- If you have experience from different fields, take advantage of building a diverse skill stack.
- If you're starting something new, you can moonlight before jumping in, and you can always go back to what you know if needed.
- Nurture the strengths and differences in partnerships (Chris has crazy ideas, and Kirstin is the voice of reason!).
- Elevate the project in a way your client wouldn't have dreamed of otherwise.
- Have a rainy day fund. What if your biggest client isn't your biggest client any longer?
- Don't say yes to too much.
- In a business partnership that's also a marriage, set boundaries. Don’t start conversations about the business at midnight when you’re trying to fall asleep!
- Get to know your repeat clients and what they like.

Seizing the opportunity when your competitors are quieter during slow times of the year can be a game changer. In the busy season, you’ll compete for ad space and clicks, but in the slow season, the field is wide open.

Why you should advertise in the slow season | Vireo There are more strategic advantages to continuing to advertise during slow times than there are not to. This proactive approach keeps you ahead of the game.
