As a small business owner, you’re facing unprecedented challenges and an economic slowdown for which there is no magic bullet. How you respond in this time of crisis will help determine how well your business recovers.
Even in these uncertain times, there is hope. Consumers went through with their lawn care. They ordered takeout. They hired an HVAC company to install an air purifier in their system. They went to the grocery store to find toilet paper. They ordered new sneakers from their local running store, as they now have time to walk in the morning. They visited the local bike shop to get a tune-up. They hired a maid service to sterilize their house. Life continues on and consumers need to know your business is open and ready to serve them. What Are the Steps to Take to Sustain Your Small Business? As millions of Americans work from home and practice social distancing, your business must adjust to the new norm. Businesses that stay aggressive during a time like this can gain market share when competitors take their foot off the gas. Here are some suggestions to market your establishment to an at-home audience. Communicate with Your Customers Communication is key. Communicate via social media, email and your website regarding the status of your business, the steps you’re taking to ensure the health and safety of your employees and customers and any changes to your hours, products or services. Pay attention to your tone in these messages as, like you, consumers are struggling to cope with heightened fear and anxiety. What once was clever or humorous may now be inappropriate or offensive. When in doubt, ask a trusted colleague or friend to review your message before you hit send. Test out or increase your video marketing. You don’t need fancy equipment or editing software to send video updates to your customers. Shoot a video with your phone and post it on your website or social pages. You could even try Facebook Live if you’re feeling brave. Adapt to the Needs of Your Customers “The species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself.” – Charles Darwin There’s no manual for responding to coronavirus. With each news conference or regulation, another small business is forced to adapt to survive. Some are required to shut down altogether. If you’re still up and running, there are some marketing strategies that seem to be working:
Industry Specific Ideas for Business Continuity During Coronavirus Restaurants Many local and state governments have put restrictions on the food/beverage industry, forcing restaurants to reduce hours and/or eliminate in-house seating. But there are ways you can move past these hurdles, especially while consumers are seeing bare shelves at the grocery stores:
Home Services Some home service businesses will be relatively untouched by the coronavirus pandemic. Others, however, will feel a crunch as homeowners start to make the tough decisions of what is a necessity and what is a luxury. Here are some ways to push through:
Beauty / Health / Fitness Due to an emphasis on social distancing, businesses that rely on close contact with customers need to get creative:
Entertainment Like beauty/health companies, entertainment businesses need alternatives to operating under “business as usual”:
Accounting Services Many Americans will be counting on tax refunds to pay the bills. Accounting businesses can provide services that help:
Retail Businesses While groups of people are limited, retail businesses can keep their doors open if they make a few adjustments:
Why Should I Advertise During Coronavirus? While small business owners everywhere are concerned about their budgets – and rightfully so – advertising is not something to stop doing without serious consideration. During periods of economic downturn, studies have shown that short-term sales growth from direct mail advertising increases. Consumer confidence WILL return, and communicating with customers now will position your business for growth when that occurs. The American Business Press analyzed 143 companies during a prior U.S. recession and found the companies that advertised during this period had the highest growth in sales and net income for two years after the recession ended. Why? Several reasons. If you advertise when your competitors don’t, all eyes are on your business. When communities begin to recover financially, you’ll be top of mind. New customers you acquire during a downturn can turn into loyal customers. And loyal customers may become even more devoted because your business provided what they needed when others didn’t. Review your budget and adjust as needed. Find a balance between spending money and pulling back to keep your business going. Understanding your business’s cycles and numbers will help. Invest in marketing products that enable you to stretch your dollars for extended periods of time, like direct mail. If your business is struggling with cash flow, visit SBA.gov to find out if you qualify for a financial relief program. The Federal Reserve has slashed interest rates too, currently matching the all time low. Lenders will also be more flexible for small businesses, who make up 99% of businesses in the U.S.. Your Business Health with Direct MailYes. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have stated the likelihood of COVID-19 contaminating shipping goods (like paper and cardboard) is low. From the CDC Coronavirus FAQs: “In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from food products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient, refrigerated, or frozen temperatures.” At Valpak, our printing, packaging and distribution systems are highly automated. So much so, that the first human hands to touch the ads in our Blue Envelope are the household recipients. From restricting access to our manufacturing facility to increased cleaning protocols, we have taken proactive steps to stay ahead of any potential health and safety issues. Our priority remains the well-being of our employees and customers. At this time, we remain fully operational and you should expect to receive your Valpak in the mail as scheduled. Valpak is here to help you navigate the rapidly changing environment. Direct mail is the measurable media that could help to sustain your business now and maintain your brand awareness for the future. When consumer confidence bounces back, you’ll be ready. Things seem to be changing so fast lately, and we’re right there with you. At Valpak, we’re doing our best to take care of our families, friends and co-workers and know that you’re doing the same. But if you’re reading this, here’s some good news: We have the power to help each other through this unprecedented time, starting in our own neighborhoods.
From the healthcare industry to grocery stores to delivery drivers and countless others, we’re lucky to have had so many step up in our communities to guide us through an experience that seems unreal. If there was ever a time for superheroes like them, we’re living in it. But did you know that you also have a superpower? Yes, you! It’s helping small businesses in your community. We’ve all been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing recommendations, and small businesses are no exception. Luckily, there are still things we can do to shape our response and be the superheroes they need, when they need them the most. As small businesses ourselves, Valpak offices across America understand this and are activating to help others face the challenges they’re up against. We’re here to support them by lending an ear, brainstorming real, out-of-the-box marketing plans and connecting them to the superhero customers they depend on. Small businesses are the lifeblood of our local economies. Let’s suit up and stand up for them! Ready to go on your superhero’s journey? Ditch the disguise, grab your cape and start with these 10 ideas:
Ok, maybe we can’t leap buildings in a single bound, but we can still be superheroes for small businesses. Valpak stands with our local advertisers and you, our valued customer and neighbor, as we work together to maintain the health of our families and communities. We urge you to join us and continue to “Open the Neighborhood”, doing all that you can to buy local and support economies in your area. While you’re out saving the world, we’ll be here keeping you connected to local businesses so you can check in, find deals and show your support. Valpak is the original stimulus package, and with you as our partner, we’re an unstoppable small business booster. Thank you to all the superheroes out there – keep yourselves and your neighborhoods safe and healthy! Right now, all businesses are feeling the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in some way or another. The recent statewide order requiring the closure of non-essential Colorado businesses through April 30 inevitably leads business owners to wonder: “Should I cancel my Valpak contract and other marketing campaigns?” The answer is, not necessarily!
Crisis Brings Innovation These unique circumstances provide opportunities for your business to change up its marketing strategy and message to keep your brand top of mind and ready to hit the ground running when life begins to return (closer) to normal. For example, with more people working from home and practicing social distancing, you can expect a surge in online activity. Turnaround time for online messaging is nearly instantaneous, and costs may be lower than normal during these uncertain times. How can you pivot your marketing efforts to make the most of this change? Valpak.com, social media, and search engine marketing are great examples for on the fly marketing. Let your customers know what you are doing to keep them and your employees safe, notify them of hour, procedural, or inventory changes, and promote special offers specific to your customers’ needs during this time. Your Valpak Marketing Advisor is eager to help you remain flexible to ensure your business bounces back when the market does. Think Long Term Although it's important to adjust your marketing strategy short term to accommodate the changes COVID-19 is forcing you to make as a business owner, it is also important to think long term. This crisis will pass (although maybe not as quickly as we would like), and people will return to the streets and your business. Now is the time to fortify your brand and keep it in front of your audience as they wait and plan for sunnier days ahead. Your Valpak Marketing Advisor has likely been in touch with you to make changes to your ads or to possibly move your ads to future mailings. Your Advisor has your best interest at heart and will continue to make recommendations based on your business, current contract, executive orders, etc. Remember, in addition to spending time online, your customers are still checking their mail and Valpak wants to make sure they see you and make their way back to you once this is all over. Please reach out to your Valpak Marketing Advisor today for suggestions on how to make the most of your marketing during the COVID-19 crisis. Please find the updated hours and information for these awesome local businesses. If you want to add your business to this list email [email protected] with your current information.
