Top tips
Surviving the lockdown
Best piece of advice
Make sure you are ready to come out ‘screaming and shouting’ at the end of the lockdown, for the Covid 19 virus to survive it needs to adapt and keep changing so that it can survive on a living human being otherwise it will become extinct, we should follow suit and think of new ways we can adapt to face the new post Covid world. One way to do this is by making sure our website’s search engines are fully optimised so that new customers can find us easily.
- don’t give up and don’t lie down waiting and thinking Covid will go away because it won’t. By the time it does, and if you go to sleep and don’t act now, your competitors will have stolen your territory, whatever your business be pro, active
- make sure you are seen on social media, because we have so much spare time on our hands there is no excuse for not posting on Linked In, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. It’s also free and a great way to market what you do on-line as that is the only way to market at present
- don’t just like something on social media, comment on it and get involved with the conversation that way clients will know you care about what they do
- make sure you have a routine for each day but build some things into your work routine for yourself e.g. watch a short film, go for a walk, phone a friend. If you don’t have a routine time will slip away and you’ll never get it back again
- think about which businesses are doing well during lockdown and try to connect with them, they will have the budgets to spend on marketing. For us that means video marketing and luckily it works really well on-line.
