Continue to adapt to new customer behavior.
At Spearhead Multimedia, we’re always looking for ways to improve not only our own business but our clients’ business as well. After all, our clients’ success is our success. This is a reprinted article from Google to help companies to adjust to the current climate.
Customer behavior is changing with new regulations, so you may be wondering what your specific customers need from a business like yours right now. Consider asking them directly via your social media channels. You can also use tools like Google Trends, Google Alerts, and explore the fastest rising retail categories in Google Search for more insights.
You may also be looking to shift some of your products or services online. Start by thinking about what value you offer to your customers. Are there ways for you to provide that value in a different format or online channel? For example:
- A retailer with a brick and mortar shop might sell products online.
- A restaurant might offer online ordering for pickup and delivery.
- A personal trainer might begin virtual training sessions for clients.
- An artist might host a YouTube live stream to teach classes.
