Letter from Santa updates

So my Letter from Santa business was rockin’ this year. I increased the letters sent by about 85% from last year. Of course, last year we moved and left in early December - that means a good couple of weeks of not having that business available to me. That’s huge considering what the letters are for!
My goal next year is to increase by 35%. I know, not as high of a percentage but that is okay. I have a few ideas of how to get that. I need to get a new system in place for handling the emails and I’m glad I didn’t try to redo it before or during this season. The site is already automated but it needs to be tweaked here and there. I’m going to hold off for a few months and then work on it as I have other projects that need to get off the ground!
Of course if you would like your own Letter from Santa business, check out what my friend Nicole Dean had a hand in putting together.

Writing for Santa - Helping or not? (Or the funny things kids say)

I own a Letter From Santa website ~ for the past two years I have written to kids all over the US and Canada on behalf of Santa. A couple of weeks ago I was going through my list, making sure everything was ready to go and got set to mail a batch of letters out.

Then my five year old daughter walked in. She asked what I was doing with all the stickers and envelopes with Santa on them. I told her I am Santa’s helper, he is so busy that he needs lots of helpers.

She said “Why are you lying”

It was really hard not to start laughing! I explained to her that I was a helper and helping is not lying. She seemed satisfied with that answer and after grabbing a few stickers, went about her day.

If you want to be a Santa’s helper, go here to find out how to start your own Santa Letter Business.
