The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike anything the modern world has ever experienced, and this uncertain turmoil is bringing many businesses to a screeching halt. It is important to remember that even during these tumultuous times, there is still a future to look forward to.

  • Remain optimistic, but avoid creating a plan with a strict timeline in place. Choosing a date and time to resume in-person business transactions and reopen storefronts is likely not possible at this time. Instead, start focusing about new ideas or strategies you can implement several months from now.
  • Keep in mind that buying habits likely will change. As you create marketing promotions and campaigns for the services and products that you provide, be mindful of the needs of consumers. You may need to invest in new equipment in order to adapt to consumer preferences in a post-pandemic economic climate.
  • Continue to make near-term decisions. You will still want to keep your business moving forward, even when it seems that the world is paused. As you make these decisions that impact your short-term revenue stream, be mindful of the fact that the world will emerge from this pandemic looking slightly different. Consider how the landscape may change, and make your next decisions accordingly. You may require new equipment in order to address the changing needs of consumers. When you use a direct lender to finance the purchase of equipment, you can begin planning for those purchases now.
  • Stay engaged with your customers throughout this crisis. Not only should you be providing them with information about discounts or promotions that you have available, but you also should be sharing information about what you are doing to help with the pandemic. Your customers will appreciate knowing that you are doing your part to protect the public health while still staying viable in a volatile economy.
