Ever felt the winter chill bite into your painting business's cash flow? Fear not, as I, Daniel from Bookkeeping for Painters, have cracked the code on keeping your revenue river flowing even when the frost sets in. This episode is your survival kit, where we lay out the game plan for reactivating past customers through targeted SMS blasts that reignite old flames of business. Imagine tapping into your QuickBooks Online or CRM system, transforming dormant contacts into active profit centers. We're talking about more than just a nudge; it's about rekindling relationships and filling those colder months with the warmth of consistent income. But there's a twist – we also explore the potential of adding winter-specific services to your roster. It's not just about painting; it's about diversifying to dominate year-round.

As we shovel deeper into the snow of seasonal slowness, I serve up the meaty details on cash flow fortification and financing finesse. Forget about hibernation; it's time to talk about securing deposits (mindful of legal limits), vendor credit lines for smooth operations, and the treasure trove of financial instruments at your disposal. From the plastic power of business credit cards to the robust backing of SBA loans, I guide you through preparing your financial defenses before the snowstorm hits. And for those with a stockpile of accounts receivable, we shine a spotlight on invoice financing, with a nod to services like Bluevine that can turn outstanding bills into immediate cash. Strap in for a masterclass as we equip your painting enterprise with the tools for an all-season success story.
