Holiday Stress? You Have Elves For That

The weather outside is frightful, and you would rather curl up in bed with a good movie than to even think about stepping out that door to go shopping for one more gift. Fight the angry crowds, yell at all of the other crazy drivers, because, after all, you are the only one on the road who knows how to drive? Oh no, not in the mood.

If only there was someone you could call to handle all of your holiday needs…..Oh wait….That would be Luxury Time.

Grocery Shopping – Friend or Foe It Has To Be Done

You either love it, or you hate it. The grocery store. I know people who avoid that place at all costs, people who would rather go to the dentist for a root canal…Ok, that might be an exaggeration of sorts, but they truly hate the thought of grocery shopping that much.

I, personally love it, which is one more great thing about my job.

With the weather getting bad outside and the holidays just around the corner, for some people the thought of taking care of this chore is unbearable.

Bring It On!!!! The Holiday Countdown Begins!

I know, I know. Don’t be mad at me. Halloween is still almost a week away and here I am talking Christmas. Apologies. Sincerely. But, listen friends, we tell ourselves every year that this is going to be the year that we don’t procrastinate and that we don’t let these dang holiday’s creep up on us. And you know what? Every year we let it happen.

But not this year! I won’t let it happen to you! Luxury Time is here to help. This year you are going to sit by the fire and enjoy a glass of eggnog, knowing that all of your holiday to-do’s are already done.

Now is the time to get your holiday pictures taken and get those cards ordered. If you need some help, or don’t know which photographer is best to use, we can set up a mini session with one of our preferred photogs. We will even update your address book, address and mail all of your cards, so that is one pesky detail you won’t have to remember. You’ll even get bonus points for remembering Aunt Trudy up in Nebraska this year, instead of having yet another card remain unsent in the box of holiday “I forgots”.

Hate holiday decorating, but want your house to look like something out of a Hollywood Christmas movie? Yup, we do that too. No worries about stringing the lights, or decking the halls. We’ve got you covered so you can focus on reading “The Night Before Christmas” to your kids with the pure joy of Christmas in you.

Expected to have the huge holiday bash, but between the shopping that needs to be done and all of your other normal household and work duties, you just don’t know how to do it all? Well, you know what? We can’t all be Martha. Sometimes we need help. And it’s lucky for you that you have Luxury Time Personal Concierge Service. We will do all that planning for you. We will sit down with you and create the guest list, send invitations, arrange catering, and decorating and everything in between.

Hate to be out in the world of crazy shoppers and icy roads? Give us your shopping list and we will pick up all of your packages for you. We can even provide gift wrapping. No need to call us Santa.

Need those cookies delivered to a special person across town, but the weather outside is frightful? Give us a call and we can get them there faster than Rudolph and his reindeer buddies.

Don’t know what to get the friend who has everything? How about time? Luxury Time has gift certificates available!

These are just some of the ways that we here at Luxury Time Personal Concierge Services can make your holiday’s a little brighter. If you can think of any other ways, give us a call and we will be happy to help. This is going to be the year that you can truly get ahead of the holiday rush and enjoy all of those memory making moments.

You can reach Jen and her team of elves at 330-808-0995, or email info@ltpcs.com. Hurry and schedule your services today, holiday schedules fill quickly!

Happy Holidays!

Don’t forget about our Time With Friends Program that allows you to get FREE hours and your friends to get discounts! Share the love this holiday season and make it possible to get that Gingerbread Latte with your girl friends after all!

Retainers ~ Are They Worth It?

If you are still not clear on what a personal and corporate concierge is worth, you may be wondering why you should even consider putting one on retainer. Please read What is a Personal Concierge Anyway? before going any further with this article. It will clear up a lot of confusion and help you to understand how extremely necessary it may be to have the help of a personal concierge on your team from time to time.

Now on to the matter at hand. Are retainers worth it when it comes to a personal/corporate concierge? For the most part, yes. If you are going to actually use the services. Being on retainer means that you are essentially a VIP. Your needs will come before other clients who aren’t on retainer.

Like a down payment, a retainer guarantees that you will be provided with a set amount of hours or tasks, possibly at set times, and the company will turn down conflicting jobs in order to remain available to you.

Still not convinced a retainer is for you? Here are some more reasons why you should look into it:

• Comfort knowing that you have us when they want you and don’t have to worry about trying to get on your schedule.
• Being a higher priority than hourly clients.
• Knowing exactly how much it will cost each month and not having to worry about the potential of a big bill for anything within the retainer.
• Having your payment on an auto-pay so you don’t have to deal with invoices.
• Building stronger, longer-lasting, relationships with us, allowing us to better understand and serve you.

If you are interested in discussing the services that we can provide for you, as well as the possibility of setting up a retainer, please call us at 330-808-0995, or email us at info@ltpcs.com. We will be more than happy to work with you to create the perfect package based on your own personal needs.

Mom Brain is Huge Time Waster!

If you have ever lost your keys you know how stressful it can be when you have somewhere to be in T-minus X minutes and counting. You probably also know what it is like to have to make that call and say you will be late  – or worse, can’t make it – because you can’t find the keys. And yes, then there are those moments, when after we have exhausted all possible places on where those dang keys could be, we find them hanging on the hook where they belong.

But have you found yourself forgetting more and more lately? Keys, cell phone, appointments, parent/teacher conferences, etc.? I bet you even blame it on being tired or hormones or the like, don’t you? Well I have your diagnosis, and I am sorry to say, it is Mom Brain. Seriously.

As a mom, you have the ability to remember who did what, where and when, down to precise seconds in time. You know each of your four children’s class projects inside and out and could recite their papers quicker than you could the Pledge of Allegiance, and do it while preparing their favorite meal without looking at a single recipe or pulling out a measuring cup one time. But when it comes to finding keys, cell phones, or remembering that dentist appointment it took 3 months to get **POOF**! The memory space for all of that has seemed to disappear.

I won’t go into the technical reasoning for the mom brain, but I will sum it up quickly for you. As children, we build our memories through use of repetition and game use (i.e., the board game, Memory) and we are able to remember anything we choose. I still sit in awe of my 8 year old who can tell me where we lived 6 years ago and what he was for Halloween when he was 2 years old. I can’t tell you what my kids were for Halloween last year, without looking for the pictures.

I digress.

Over time without challenging our brain, playing mind strengthening games and such, we lose the ability to store as much memory as we used to. Think of mind exercise like body exercise. When we fail to exercise the muscles of our body, we lose some of the capabilities those muscles have.

Fear not, just as I provided the diagnosis, I can provide a cure.

You can gain back memory “storage” through use of memory building games and brain stimulating activities. There are sites such as Lumosity that provide such games and activities and claim to improve memory, attention and creativity in quite a short amount of time. Lumosity does charge a small monthly fee each month, but they also do provide a money back guarantee.  In exercising your brain for just a few minutes every day, you should see a huge difference in your memory very quickly.

And with a growing memory, you will remember where those dang keys are, saving you 20 stress-filled minutes of searching and cursing. Who wouldn’t play a couple games a day to have that?

Games like Mahjong Titans are Good Brain Workouts

Luxury Time Launches New “Time With Friends” Program!

Just when you thought that Luxury Time Personal Concierge Service couldn’t get any better, we start rolling out this awesome customer “Time With Friends” Program. I mean, yeah, we outdid ourselves by offering 51% off on Living Social, and then doing it again on AAA’s Member Deals, but heck we thought, we need to offer our peeps something year round, something that really lets them know how much we love ’em. After all we are only this awesome because we have such great customers.

Welp, here it is. 2 more fantabulous ways to save.

Let Your Friends Know How Great We Are!

Picture this: You are having lunch with a friend of yours that you haven’t seen in months. She knows how busy you are and asks how you ever managed to get away. Your answer? Luxury Time Personal Concierge Service. Your To-Do List didn’t magically disappear – well, I guess in a way it did. You get to enjoy your afternoon with your friend shopping and having lunch because Luxury Time Personal Concierge Service took over all of those pesky tasks that took up all your time and stopped you from being able to enjoy your life.

Your friend tells you that she wishes that she could have more time to enjoy her life as well. Well! Whatdoyoknow?! You can help her out with that!

Now when you book services with Luxury Time, we will give you referral cards to give your friends. After all you are going to need someone to be able to enjoy all that free time with! The best part? Your friend gets 20% off their services with the card, courtesy of you, their best friend. Now that’s a reason for them to pick up the tab on the next lunch.

They Get Time, You Get Time. 

You didn’t think that we would stop there did you? Pffft! We have more! I mean, yeah that’s cool that your friends save money when you schedule services, but we really don’t believe that ole’ mantra, “It’s better to give than receive”, and we didn’t think you would either.

Well, check this out. For every friend that you refer to us,  we give you 1/2 hour free services. Yup, that’s right, we said free. Which not only means more money, but more time. Free money, free time and it’s all yours.

Now how cool is that? Everyone saves money, and everyone has more time to do all the things we want to do. More lunches, more shopping, more relaxing and sitting poolside with all your friends who also have more.

The best part? There is no limit. Refer as many friends as you want to and you keep saving!

What are you waiting for? Call us now for more information on our new Time With Friends Program and how Luxury Time can bring ole’ friends together again.
