Saving your business during the COVID-19 pandemic

Action plan for opening an online shop

The unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 virus is leading to more and more closed doors of shopping centres, small family shops and restaurants, deserted parks, etc. Business owners are struggling to save their companies and at the same time trying to ensure the safety and well-being of their employees. 
 

Be adaptive

Adaptiveness has proved to be one of the most important qualities when it comes to difficult situations and problem solving. The fast people adapt, the more likely they are to succeed. NOW is the time to be adaptive. 

If you have to close your shop – close it. This does not mean you have to shut down your business, right?

Look out for new opportunities

Always try to find opportunities in the difficult situations. Now, when your shop is closed down, you have the opportunity to open an online store. 

Here are a few easy steps to do this:

1. Research

Make a quick research on the competition in the Internet. This will give you great ideas and examples to include in your online shop. 

2. Find a developer

Find a reliable company to work with on the development of your online store. It is important to keep in mind not only the appearance of the final product but also think about the security and compliance just as you do for your physical shop. 

3. Start and develop your online business from anywhere

Once you have a ready fully operating online store, it is up to you to develop it and grow your sales. 

At the end, this all might turn out to be another way of life showing us that we shouldn’t lose hope and fall into despair when things do not go as we wish they are.
