Economic disruption is inevitable with the scope of damage this global pandemic has caused, most significantly on the world’s fiscal powerhouses – China, Russia, Britain, Japan, and the United States – plus many other countries around the globe. The Coronavirus might be microscopic by size, but it has massively conquered the planet and affected millions of lives in a short period of time.
The effect of this outbreak caused havoc not only in the health sector but also in the vast majority of industries and businesses all around the world. During these dangerous and doubtful times, you need to keep your business running, most importantly if this is your bread and butter. Here are some suggestions on how you can do it even in the midst of this lurking global economic threat around you.
Maximise the market relevance of social media
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms are great channels to market your brand, plus even products and services. This is because most potential customers are in social media almost all the time nowadays. Apparently, most social gatherings are in the World Wide Web recently. With or without the pandemic, these platforms are great for advertising, promotion, and customer reach.
Digitise your brand
Besides your social media activities or eCommerce site, you can also consider investing or developing your own app. You can even link this to your website for a more comprehensive customer count and tracking. Through an app, you can make the order process more personalized, secure, and user-friendly. With our situation right now, security and convenience are very important.
Create and/or maintain your own ecommerce website
Although you might think that building a website for your business in this time of crisis is an unnecessary investment to take, it actually isn’t. While we are still in the Coronavirus season (and it’s unlikely to end very soon), maintaining your own eCommerce website will keep your business running. A good but cheap web hosting will do, plus your keen and creative eye for design and consistency. Although social media and a mobile app might suffice, wise potential customers will still look for legitimate business space in the World Wide Web. Through your website, you will not only receive and track orders or post original content, but all the more, you can establish your brand with all authenticity and assurance.
