Greetings!
Welcome to the first Executive Errands newsletter!  We are dedicated to improving your life by taking over your errands so you have more time for your family, clients, business, community or simply to relax. 
 
In each issue, we'll offer a little about our services and showcase one of our stellar service providers.  Executive Errands has an extensive network of quality service providers and a concierge team dedicated to personal service.  We specialize in giving our clients the attention they deserve and the services they expect -- professionally and consistently.
 
Our business is founded on quality and flexibility.  Don't see something on our list of services? Feel free to ask.  We pride ourselves on being the 'go to' resource for all things home and business related.
 
Visit our website www.executive-errands.com or call us today at 760.469.2487 for more information about our affordable service plans.
 
In celebration of our first newsletter and in honor of 'Back to School' month, Executive Errands memberships are FREE* for the month of September.  Please use the coupon code indicated below.
 
Of course Executive Errands is licensed, insured and bonded and we do accept all major credit cards.

Sample Concierge Services
The question we get asked most here at Executive Errands is 'what do you do?'.  The answer is 'everything' but that isn't very clear so let's take a minute to give some examples.  As this is Back to School month, it seems appropriate to showcase some of our back to school benefits. 
 
If your son or daugther forgets his/her homework, gym bag, cell phone or lunch money, our clients on monthly service simply place a phone call and your personal concierge will pick up the missing item and drop it off at school.  No need for you to leave your desk, miss a meeting, cool down your car or use your gasoline.  If you have a conflict with work and soccer practice or have two children in after school activities at the same time, we can pick up one and drop them off for you.  Or pick them up afterward and bring them home.  Should one of your children become ill and need a ride to Grandma's or another daycare facility, we are happy to do that as well.
 
Our list of services is endless.  We can shop for you, wait for deliveries, provide contractor oversight (or remodeling project management), take the car in for service, run your pets to the groomer or vet, clean your windows, take care of your property for a weekend or year 'round, feed the fish, run to the bank for you - the list is truly endless.  We've just added website design to this list so if you need [or know someone who needs] a website, please give us a call at 760.469.2487 to start a quote or for more info about our services: www.executive-errands.com

Eliminate the Stress of Unnecessary Clutter
10 Easy Steps to Reduce Clutter NOW
  1. Find a home for everything and put everything in its home
  2. Have a designated place for car keys, wallets, spare change, sunglasses, etc.  A key rack and a decorative basket or bowl will help keep these items easy to find, and clean up the counter clutter.
  3. Store items that you use on a regular basis close to where they will be used.
  4. In with the new and out with the old.  When you bring home a new item, dispose of or donate the old item you are replacing.
  5. Sort the mail every day, with a wastebasket nearby.  Shred any items that may have personal identity information on them right away.
  6. Manage the piles of magazines and catalogues by disposing of the older issues when a new one arrives.
  7. Streamline your bill paying by setting up automatic deductions from your checking account.  Pay credit card bills online.
  8. No more standing in line at the bank - set up automatic deposit for your paycheck.
  9. Things to do while you are waiting "on hold" for a service representative:  Empty the dishwasher, clean the sink, tidy the living room, get a load in the washer, take the garbage out, make the bed
  10. Hire a professional organizer to help you set up easy to maintain organizing systems.
