How Businesses can Survive the Coronavirus Shutdown

Every day we continue to get mixed messages sent to us by our government and the medical profession.  The short answer is nobody really has the exact answer and much less a solution to help.  Everything is pure speculation and the fear of the unknown is controlling our actions.  The one thing that you know is you must develop, implement and perfectly execute the right processes to assure your business’ success.

However, businesses still have rent, cost of goods, unsold inventory and other expenses that will continue despite the national shutdown.  Businesses will try to cut cost ultimately eliminating their labor cost.  The sad part is that everyone knows about the billion dollar companies, but the faces of our community business do not have strong advocates to speak for them on their behalf.

DeliveryMaxx understands this all too well.  Founder James Schaefer, developed the Patent-Pending program just over 10 years ago creating an innovative way for companies to easily spread their message to the masses utilizing a mobile app.  He created this company without government loans or private investments.  Utilizing his personal savings, he has poured in millions over the last decade to create a program that will help anyone needing exposure on the web.

Now more than ever, all eyes are on social media.  As a matter of fact, 66% of social media users believe their social media usage habit will increase in the event they are confined to their home due to the Coronavirus.  Several states across the Nation have already implemented this strategy to contain the virus spread.  Over 60% of both YouTube and Facebook users expect an increase while only 2% expect a decrease.

Some key statistics for how Coronavirus impacts E-Commerce include: 99% of social media users believe there is a chance they will purchase something online if they are confined to their home during a Coronavirus outbreak, 92% of consumers who have “a great deal of say” on purchasing decisions believe they will purchase grocery store items online (versus in-store) during confinement, 79% of consumers with children ages 3-17 at home believe they may purchase home improvement or DIY items online while confined to home and 76% of consumers who have a “great deal of say” on purchasing decisions believe they will order restaurant food delivery online.

There is no question that as more consumers are confined to their home, there will be a significant surge of social media content and consumption.  That surge will present an increased opportunity for brands to connect with an audience that is hungry for content, education, and online social experiences.  Brands will see their marketing dollars go further than they have in recent years and certain sectors stand to benefit greatly from these marketing savings. Don’t get left behind in reaching your market as your competition will react relatively quickly to the changing environment and adjust their overall campaign spending to reflect the surge in social media consumption as it unfolds.

There is a “New Normal” that is developing.  DeliveryMaxx has been the leader in this arena over the last decade and continues to help businesses in all sectors reach their potential customers through the most innovative digital strategy utilizing common sense and today’s technology.  Our clients experience positive Online Reputation, stronger SEO, concise content management, increase in social media engagement and advertisement and higher customer retention.

Coronavirus Exposes Need for Online Digital Strategy More than Ever

You would have to be living in a cave not to know that everyone in the world is talking about the Coronavirus (COVID-19).  No matter what your position is on whether you feel people are overreacting and buying up all of the toilet paper for a flu-like cold or if you think this is the next Bubonic plague that will change the world as we know it; all of the actions today we are taking today will affect aspects of your business..

Now more than ever- it is important for your business to have an online strategy that can withstand the mass hysteria and media’s recommendation to quarantine oneself from the public to avoid catching the virus.  Even though the masses are avoiding civilization, internet usage is at an all-time high and that means your message needs to gain maximum exposure!

DeliveryMaxx has the cure!  With our Patent-Pending digital media strategy, clients will be able to share with the world why their customers should patronize their business (even online sales) and let the world know they have the goods to keep life going as we know it.  Our strategy can be implemented in the virtual arena of technology and includes Online Reputation Management, Social Media Marketing, Customer Satisfaction and Retention, Social Media Engagement and Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

The Coronavirus may or may not be blown out of proportion.  That is for you to decide.

As of March 13, 2020, the Coronavirus has 1663 reported cases and 40 deaths in the United States.  Over 99% of the cases have an unfavorable affect on individuals with underlining heath conditions and/or those who are over 50 years old.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there have been nearly 128,000 cases confirmed with 4720 deaths.  Not to diminish these facts, but according to the Center of Disease and Control over 56,000 people die from the flu or flu-like illness each year in the United States.  In addition, nearly 1.25 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day. 

Make no mistake about the media coverage of this virus.  It has caused major panic much like someone hollering “FIRE” in a crowded movie theatre.  (Of course you could do that now and nobody would be there to hear you.)  This scare will negatively impact all businesses especially small businesses.

“In today’s world, businesses now more than ever must have a digital strategy.  Today it is the Coronavirus, tomorrow it will be something else.  Our customers are spending more hours of the day online shopping, researching or mindless browsing.  If a business doesn’t have a specific plan of action utilizing the internet; they will leave dollars on the table.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the coronavirus, but also out to all of the businesses that will be adversely affected by potential customers isolating themselves indoors.  We will develop a custom plan for each business that allows them to compete in today’s marketplace” states, James Schaefer, Founder of DeliveryMaxx.
