The holidays bring joy, but they also bring distractions, expenses, and year-end deadlines. For businesses, waiting until December to address delinquent accounts is like waiting until Christmas Eve to shop for gifts—stressful, rushed, and rarely effective. November is the true window of opportunity for collections.
Why November Is the Sweet Spot
- People still have bandwidth. By December, most debtors are focused on holiday spending and family obligations. November is your chance to reach them while they’re still responsive.
- Collections take time. Letters, phone calls, and negotiations don’t happen overnight. Starting now ensures there’s enough time to see results before year-end.
- Year-end planning is in full swing. Many businesses finalize budgets in December. Addressing delinquent accounts now ensures payments hit this year’s books, not next year’s.
Your Holiday Prep Checklist
- Review all accounts over 30 days past due.
- Flag high-value accounts that represent the greatest impact.
- Place accounts with Aldous before the holiday season accelerates.
Why a Law Office Makes the Difference
In November, debtors are making financial decisions that affect their holiday spending. A collection letter from a law office carries weight at a time when they’re carefully balancing obligations. It signals that the matter is serious and should not be ignored.
Prep Now, Stress Less Later
Think of November as your “holiday prep month” for receivables. By taking action before the chaos of December, you can reduce stress, recover more, and head into January on stable footing.
