Our enforced lockdown, due to COVID-19 has come as a huge blow to many businesses, some of which will at this stage even consider just throwing in the towel. To these businesses we can only say this is something that will, like every other challenge, eventually pass. As dark as these times may be for many, there is always light at the end of the tunnel and the question you need to be asking yourself right now is “where will my business be when we get to the other side?” No matter what your business, during this time you can build your online strategies and here are the 4 cornerstones of doing so:
If ever there was a time to be more ‘present’ or visible online, this is it. Improve and upgrade your website – is it putting out the right messages to sell your business? Get a good business profile and LinkedIn profile to be more visible online and start engaging with good articles and newsletters.
There are millions more people online right now than there have ever been before and now is the perfect time to market your business there! Various forms of Digital and Social media marketing are available and many at a very low cost. It is best to be advised on this though and engage with professionals to devise a solid marketing strategy.
Was there ever a better time, whilst many of your staff have less to do, than to encourage online learning, coaching and training to ensure that they are more skilled and still motivated at the other end of the tunnel? There are all manner of courses available online and a good Virtual Assistant can help you find and engage with the right ones.
There has also never been a better time to assess how your business has been running up to now and make some vital changes. Have you been spending too much time working ‘in’ your business instead of ‘on’ it? Have you been engaging staff that are being paid for a lot of time in which they are not contributing to the business?
