“To everything turn, turn, turn; There is a season turn, turn, turn”

The Byrds may not be talking about marketing or seasonal businesses, but they got it right anyway. 

If you are in a seasonal business, you might not have strong demand for your products or services throughout the entire year. Many industries have a busy season and a quiet season, and there isn’t much of anything that you’ll be able to do to change that fact. Rather than working against that reality, you can embrace it and use the seasonality to shape your strategies moving forward.

How to be a Sanctuary. The story of our company:

Please enjoy this short documentary about our company and our team.

Sanctuary formally began in 2006 and the origin of the name is based around the word trust.

When we started the company we had to gain the trust of our clients and show them that we could not only do the work that we promised to do but that we were different from other companies. 

We really wanted to have our clients believe that we were partners in their journey. Not just another service provider. We wanted them to really believe that Sanctuary was a place for them to call home where they had friends and partners that they could trust.

Today we’re striving to accomplish this goal every day with our clients. But the idea of us being a Sanctuary equally extends inward to our team as well. And then through the work we do together with our clients, it extends out and impacts our community and world as well.
