Steps you can take today

Even if you’re not able to operate your business as normal right now, there are still things you can do to help navigate all of the uncertainty and set yourself up for success in the long-term.

-If you don’t have a website, consider building a shoppable landing page where folks can buy your stuff online. You can even use it to sell gift cards that folks can buy now and use later on when the situation improves.
-Landing pages can also be a great way to collect contact information from your audience. Create a page with a signup form, share the link across your social channels, and then start sending regular updates to keep folks informed about everything going on with you and your business. You can even set up your page to automatically tag contacts based on their interests when they sign up, so it’ll be easier to organize your audience and send more relevant messages in the future.

Alternatively, maybe your business has experienced a dramatic (and unexpected) increase in online traffic and sales as a result of recent events. For you, it’s about being strategic in your response and understanding how you can continue to meet the needs of your customers.

-If you’ve got a product that’s been particularly popular, consider setting up social media ads to boost awareness among your existing customers—and brand new audiences, too.
-Are you seeing increased traffic to your website because the content you offer is resonating right now? Be sure to capture that data so you can use it to make informed marketing decisions (while staying true to your brand) down the road.
