Personal Concierge Service

With a limited amount of hours in a day, it can be a struggle to find time to simply enjoy life. Daily responsibilities, commitments and errands can chip away at free time until it seems that all there is to life is working, eating and sleeping. One inventive solution to this problem is hiring a personal concierge service. Just like a concierge at a fine hotel, a personal concierge can help you out by taking care of all those little things that can add up to hours of lost time every day.

After working in the New York hotel business for 12 years, Barbara Zats started a personalized concierge service, Concierge Connection, Inc. The service assists busy people with their needs and helps them simplify their lives. Here she fills us in on the advantages of using a personal concierge service:

• Simplify
  Having a personal concierge is a way to simplify your life. If there are tasks in your life that you don’t have time to complete, or if you need help with something and don’t know where to turn, a concierge can offer assistance and take a little stress and strain out of your day.
  
• Reservations & tickets.
  If you need reservations for dinner, theater or event tickets, or are planning a party or trip, a concierge will work the phones and the web to get you what you need.
  
• Errands.
  If you need someone to drop off the dry cleaning, buy a gift, or pick up a rental car, a concierge can help.
  
• Information.
  Concierges are also able to dig up information you may need. If you arrive in a strange city and need to know where the best restaurants or most reasonable hotels are, a concierge will find out for you.
  
• Trust.
  Concierges try to build personal relationships with clients. It’s great to feel that there is trust and understanding between you and the person you task with handling your errands, and that you’re dealing with a responsible individual rather than a faceless company. So if you’re having trouble getting things done and would like an assistant to lend a hand, look to the web or the yellow pages and hire a personal concierge!
