Wow, Thanksgiving is almost here! Wasn't it just Halloween?!

We are, as always, incredibly thankful for being able to work with all of you. COATS customers are some of the friendliest, funniest and most interesting folks out there, and we treasure the chance to help your businesses grow.

We'll be closed Thursday and Friday of this week for the holiday, but we'll be back with a vengeance on Monday. In fact, we're offering a Cyber Monday deal this year! It might sound a little familiar if you were at Staffing World, but if you missed out on it then, there's still time to save hundreds! 
 
Not only that; you could even make a little scratch from COATS. Just send us a "Did You Know" for COATS and you could win a $25 gift card. We will even post your tip on the DYK COATSsql Facebook page for your 15 "posts" of fame :)

 

In thanks and gratitude,  

 
Karen

Did You Know We're on Pinterest? 
We've caught the latest wave in social media and have three boards on Pinterest: Feel free to follow us or repin or just peruse our boards. See you there!

We're Also on Google+
We've also established a page on Google+ for everyone who's on that site. We're posting mostly the same content as on our "Staffing Stuff" Pinterest board. But we must admit, it's a little lonely there right now. If you're on Google+, please let us know and we'll try to form a little staffing outpost on it. :-)

LinkedIn logoThe COATS Users Group on LinkedIn is starting to heat up! Many users are discussing the new Employee Portal! We created this group for COATS users to discuss the software with us and with each other so we can all get more out of it. 

 

This is a members-only group, so you don't have to worry about anyone wandering in and spamming us. Unfortunately, that means you do have to apply for membership, but we promise you'll get in; all you have to be is a COATS user. We look forward to seeing you there!
