Because the Hamptons economy remains highly seasonal, there is considerably less work in many industries during winter.
Weather events like a snowstorm can create opportunities for people through shoveling and property management work, but it’s not really possible to build an entire year around the hope that it’ll snow.
In my case, I own an event production company, so with the area extremely quiet, I have to get a little creative.
Winter is when I do a lot of work to prepare for the summer, including client outreach, partnerships, travel, and planning.
During the offseason, I take my work with me to New York City, Miami, Palm Beach, parts of California, and increasingly, internationally.
