How Your Business Can Thrive Whilst You Jet Off on Holiday

Over the Summer months, many employees and business owners will have
taken well-earned time off to get away and relax with family and/or friends.
Time out from your business is essential to refresh, regroup and work out
what direction your business will take as you edge closer to Q4 and the end of
the financial year.

But have you spent thousands on a couple of weeks of sunshine and family time and
ended up spending half of it glued to your phone, replying to emails, approving social
posts, or checking social ads? Because, let’s face it, when you run a small business,
if you don’t do it, who will?

Here’s the good news – it doesn’t have to be this way. With smart strategies like
content planning, automation, and evergreen ads (ads that stay relevant all the time),
your business can keep generating leads, engagement, and even revenue – while
you refuel.

1. Plan & Schedule Content in Advance
Batch Creation: Dedicate a day (or two) pre-holiday to creating blog posts, emails,
social media content, and ad creatives.
Use Scheduling Tools: Whether it’s for social (Meta, LinkedIn, X) or email
campaigns via Mailchimp, Brevo, GoHighLevel or similar, set everything live before
leaving. Big Voice offers these automation services to help SMEs overcome
overwhelm in their business.
Approval Workflow: Make sure there’s a clear process, so your content goes live
without any surprises.

2. Keep Ads Running, Even When You’re Not
Ongoing Campaigns: Evergreen Facebook, Instagram, Google, or LinkedIn ads
keep your visibility high and pipeline active – even while you’re sipping cocktails.
Retargeting Means Revenues: Warm leads (people who visited your site or
engaged) are more likely to convert. Big Voice supports full tracking and ad
management to ensure ROI.
Set Alerts: Use rules to pause overspending or alert you if performance dips.

3. Automate, Automate, Automate
Email & SMS Workflows: Set up welcome series, abandoned cart emails, or
nurture sequences. Let your system carry the conversation. Big Voice helps with
setup of DKIM, SPF, DMARC, plus sequences.
Marketing Automations: Leverage WhatsApp autoreplies, social DMs, or Zapier
flows to keep replying while away.

Analytics on Autopilot: Ensure Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and reporting are
tracking everything – so you can glance at results when you return.

4. Mix in Content That Runs Itself
Evergreen Posts & Emails: Use content that’s always relevant e.g., FAQs, guides
and top tips.
Repurpose Across Channels: Turn blog posts into email newsletters, short social
clips or audio snippets – making your existing content go further.

5. Let Ads and Automation Work as Your Backup Team
Community Growth + Ads: Blend organic social marketing with ads to keep
building buzz and generating new leads. Big Voice offers combined paid and organic
strategies starting from around £399 – £699 p/m.
Clear ROI Means Peace of Mind: Knowing your marketing is measured, tracked,
and delivering frees you to step away.

6. On Holiday? Relax – Your Business Doesn’t Have To
Front-load the work: Schedule as much as possible before you go away.
Let engines run: Automation and ads keep things humming whilst you relax.
Minimal oversight: A quick check-in mid-trip (whenever you like) is enough, but you
shouldn’t be full-time managing.
Wrap with insights: When back, review what performed well and use that intel for
your next strategy.
