Our top tips for business during this COVID 19 lockdown on how to continue moving forward and come out the other side ready to attack the market.
Our number one point would be to get organised. Get everything in order, all the admin tasks, the pile of papers on your desk, clear everything out. Take this time where everything is slow to organise everything you possibly can do. This will also reset you mentally so your fresh ready to restart, this will allow you to focus solely on the growth of your business after this is done.
Get on top of your finances. Are you paying for services/subscriptions or even overspending in areas which need view? Now is the perfect time to review this. Create a budget and cashflow which you can track your spending and evaluate it with great depth.
Be real with yourself and your business. If you’re in some financial trouble? Evaluate the decisions that have put you in the position. Have you overspent? Are you living beyond your means? Now is the time to be honest with yourself and fix these problems.
Work on marketing, create the content to push out during this time, make the content relatable, but don’t push your services. Offer helpful advice and give people a reason to follow you, contact you and value your content. Work on content to push out when the lockdown is done. Can you create a killer campaign which will change your business on the other side?
It’s fairly safe to say you will not get a situation like this whereby everything is shut and you are not being pressurised for time. Use it wisely.
