Due to the current situation, almost all industries have suffered some damage. We cannot change the current events and it is shocking, but we can use this time to be prepared to face the developments.

Establish a close relationship with the customer
By building a close relationship with the audience in an uncertain situation, you will be able to develop ways to connect with promising customers as well as recommendations for many other opportunities in the future.
To do this, imagine the situation your customers may currently be in, what they may need, and what the actual service maybe for them. This is a chance to develop competitive, thoughtful offers (free and paid) that make customers feel that you care and care about them.

Be highly organized
Be honest: Remember how many times in the last few years you have said to yourself, “We need to be organized.”
The current event offers you the time you need to organize your processes and procedures. Find places where the momentum slows down or where you spend more money. Evaluate in-depth on how your business is flowing. Pay attention to all the obstacles that stand in the way of your progress and productivity.
Organizing will save you time in the future and help you better control the financial situation of your business, which will allow you to save money in the long run.

Update your marketing strategy
What worked a few months ago may not be relevant now. The marketing strategy you’ve been working on for weeks may not be appropriate for current events. Like you, consumers are looking at a radically new reality. They face finances, homework, and health problems. They argue that they will have to redefine their lifestyle and priorities – not just during a pandemic, but after it.
So what ways can you develop your strategy to adapt to this new reality?
Offer longer payment terms. This can help people who have some problems with their budget but want to work with you.
Offer a relatively inexpensive or free trial version. It can be a great way to attract new customers who are interested but cautious about their budget. This process allows you to show the benefits of your offer so they can be sure they will spend the money wisely.
Offer virtual help. With a little creativity, you will be able to offer customers your services online. Doctors, music teachers, therapists, coaches are currently connecting patients online.
With these three steps and some creativity and innovation, you can successfully manage your business and become even stronger. You will be able to do this.
