Some local businesses were able to shift and modify their offerings, like we did.
And if YOU were with me during our 4 week training back in April – I KNOW that you also shifted all of your marketing to prepare for the “re-opening” by nurturing relationships and starting new partnerships…
But MANY were caught off guard, and did NOT focus on the future re-opening. Those sadly will be the businesses that have a much longer recovery and rebound period ☹
But as we begin to see “OPEN” signs again, I wanted to help you prepare and plan (if you haven’t already) for your own “re-opening” strategy.
Whether you’re re-opening NOW or not for another few months… be sure you print this one out so that you have your game plan for re-opening your local business post-Covid lockdown.
8 Ways to Get Back to Business POST-COVID Lockdown…
In PA for example, even some of our COUNTIES were allowed to open weeks before some other “infectiously impacted” counties were. In all honesty, PA is STILL fighting to have some of our business structures opened ☹
We’ve been in a slow red/yellow/green re-opening process.
But luckily, we were still able to provide virtual help to our clients and “food shopping” requests were considered “essential”.
2. Plan your “re-open” date.
3. Get your TEAM onboard!
4. Provide your TEAM with equipment.
5. Prepare you CLIENTS for your return!!
Yeahhhhh ? ?
If you have instituted new physical distancing or cleaning policies as part of your service delivery – be sure you let your clients know that also, this way they are fully prepared and also have the opportunity to ask you questions.
6. Let allllll the people know!
Don’t forget this is an ahhhhhmazing time to touch base with clients who may have used your services way back when … any excuse to reach out and touch base is a GOOD one!
7. Be “social” and spread the word
8. Bonus Points!!
If you have clients you plan on seeing in the next couple weeks during your re-opening phase, bring a little card, a note, small gift, even a single cupcake just as a “celebration” and excitement for being back to business. What a wonderful way to engage your clients into such a GREAT celebration!!!
Ok my friend!!!
How are you planning for your GRAND RE-open?? Whether you have hardly slowed down, or your doors have been on lockdown since March – I’m sure there’s something here to help you get back to business after COVID …
