Saving your Business through Networking

During this time of uncertainty for many businesses and individuals alike, it is important to utilize all of the resources provided for you. In addition to educating yourself on actual facts; another helpful hint would be to share your experiences with others. While many businesses and consumers have been relegated to being under house arrest, now more than ever it is important to communicate.

Having a digital strategy can be of great benefit to acquire new clients or increase sales. However, utilizing social media can also provide your business information to help educate you on real issues. By being informed, this will allow you to disseminate fact from fiction.

A perfect example is that many people think that just because our government passed a 2.2 Trillion relief program that the economy will be able to get back to normal. Although the stimulus package had a lot of pork filled provisions that have nothing to do with helping businesses survive during a government shutdown like: $150 million for Federal Grants to State and Local Arts and Humanities Programs, $75 Million for Corporation for Public Broadcasting, $25 Million for Washington, D.C., Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, $75 Million for the National Endowment for the Arts, $93 Million to Congress, $25 Million for cleaning the Capitol and congressional office buildings, $14 Billion for Universities and Colleges, $25 Billion for Public Transit Systems, $10 Billion for Publicly owned Commercial Airports, $1 Billion for Amtrak, $300 Million for Fishing Industry, $400 Million to help states prepare for 2020 elections with steps to include expanded vote by mail and additional polling locations, $2 Billion for health care, equipment schools and other needs for Native American Communities and $258 Million for international disaster assistance; there are banks like Wells Fargo limited allowing small businesses to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program. Wells Fargo's announcement shows that even with a Fed backstop one of the country's largest banks will still not be participating in a program designed to help businesses on the verge of collapse because of the coronavirus outbreak. Because of restrictions placed on Wells Fargo after its fake accounts scandal, the bank has told customers it must turn away struggling small business customers even after acquiring the most small business accounts last year.

Utilizing Social Media, small businesses have taken to various digital platforms out of desperation in order to get the giant bank to reverse their position to help out “the little guy”.

Another example is the Coronavirus itself. The media would have you believe that the deaths of our citizens are piling up in the streets and hospitals cannot handle the outbreak. Of course we are starting to see that this has been a false narrative from the begging. From January 1^st to March 30^th, 2020 it has been reported that 35,016 people have died from this new virus that will be seasonal. Yes, that means each year this virus will come back just like the seasonal flu. What the media isn’t reporting is that during the same exact timeframe we have had 75,645 deaths of mothers during childbirth, 118,980 deaths from the seasonal flu, 240,056 malaria deaths, 262,441 suicides, 330,367 traffic accident fatalities, 411,415 deaths from HIV/AIDs, 612,105 Alcohol related deaths, 1,223,439 deaths of smokers, 2,009,990 people die from cancer, 3,177,081 fatalities from communicable diseases and 10,402,251 abortions! To make matters worse is the Centers of Disease and Control (CDC) have instructed Medical Examiners to list Coronavirus as the cause of death even if it is only suspected the individual might have the virus. People are figuring out that they must get this information to the masses and are utilizing social media platforms and forums to expose the lies and share the truth.

Businesses across all sectors are hurting during this time of uncertainty as they are looking for answers. However, those companies that have a strong digital strategy and sharing experiences with their audience will stand to benefit. Businesses can gain trust by informing the public on real news and experiences and offer to help. This is a time that businesses can look to others and offer services to help them survive without gauging them into debt.

DeliveryMaxx is no different. We started our company in 2008 which at the time was the worst recession in US history since the 1929 stock market crash. The company was developed with a great idea to help clients improve their customer retention and satisfaction by reminding them of their happy moment during the buying process. DeliveryMaxx had created new technology that utilized a special Kodak Camera that was able to label images using unique identifiers that would be sent through a portal allowing us to deliver marketing and advertising material to our clients’ customers within days of the sale or service performed. By 2010, Kodak announced they were going out of business and DeliveryMaxx had to adapt. In addition, online reviews and social media marketing was becoming the norm. Out of necessity new DeliveryMaxx innovation was born. Quickly adapting to the change of marketing landscape we found a way to help companies compete in the new digital arena that included Online Reputation, Social Media Marketing and Engagement, Content Management, Search Engine Optimization while still focusing on customer satisfaction. After 10 million lines of code, over one million dollars in research and development; DeliveryMaxx was able to create a patent-pending digital media strategy for any business that needs maximum exposure on the internet in order to sell products or advertise their services gaining more reach than ever before.

Like other businesses, DeliveryMaxx has to look at the world around them and make plans or adjust to a changing environment. Although many people have flippantly said that this shutdown will only last a couple of weeks and maybe a couple of months thinking that businesses can just pick up where they left off like this was a long overdue vacation; entrepreneurs will have to have a concise plan of action and it must include a robust digital media marketing strategy that allows their customers to positively influence others helping create a demand for their product or services.

DeliveryMaxx makes this happen on a consistent basis meeting all of your needs in the digital world giving you a stronger reach on the internet allowing you to focus on what you do the best.

DeliveryMaxx is one of the only digital media company that provides a simple to use app which will allow our clients immediately collect online reviews, post engaging videos and online content with branding and advertising.

It is a tool that is implanted with a complete digital strategy giving our clients a competitive advantage over the competition.

What do you do when everything crashes around you?

Adversity brings out the best, but also brings out the worst in people. This is the same for businesses as well. Sometimes being prepared does not mean obstacles won’t happen. As a matter of fact, if you have been in business for any length of time you have major developments that cause adversity quite often.

Now, in the year 2020, all businesses are facing the fight of their life. Whether one believes the Coronavirus threat warrants government intervention and shutdown of business or thinks that it is a Chinese virus developed to destroy the United States’ economy; it is and will have a drastic effect on millions of people’s lives. The numbers that were originally reported by the World Health Organization as well as Centers of Disease and Control will not be met thankfully; however, businesses are entering their third week of nationwide quarantine measures and will have a very tough time keeping their doors open. Enter the government’s massive pork filled special interest stimulus package of 2.2 trillion dollars and some businesses will be able to limp through a minimized slowdown. Unfortunately, the people will be burdened with this debt to pay back and the economy will reflect these choices down the road.

As the initial shock of good people debating whether lives of the elderly and those with underlying health conditions were more important than the lives of tens of millions that will be faced with unemployment, health issues, child abuse, increase crime, marital conflict, and potential death (suicide, murder, health) if we enter into the 2^nd Great Depression; we are now hearing and seeing reports that this might be something other than just a virus.

There are theories showing that it is a Democrat strategy even supported by some Republicans to rid the country of Donald Trump as President of the United States. You can even start to see political operatives on both side trying to blame each other on why the medical field was ill equipped (even though the Doctors have lined their pockets through Insurance and Pharmaceutical Drug Makers) to handle cases of people who will get sick from a virus that will come back every season since there will never be a cure for it. Other stories are coming out that China with the help of traitorous greedy anti-Americans to help create and spread this virus in hopes to bring down our economy ultimately creating a rebellion or civil war in our country. This has always been a strategy starting back when Chairman Mao Zedong, an ideologically Marxist/Leninist was the founding father of the People’s Republic of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976. In addition to killing close to 80 million of his own people through starvation, persecution, prison labor and mass executions; his modern enemy was the United States. His predecessors have continued adverse policy towards the United States and many plots to this point have been foiled by our intelligence community to keep the balance of both world powers.

Therefore businesses have to look at the world around them and make plans or adjust to a changing environment. Although many people have flippantly said that this shutdown will only last a couple of weeks and maybe a couple of months thinking that businesses can just pick up where they left off like this was a long overdue vacation; entrepreneurs will have to have a concise plan of action and it must include a robust digital media marketing strategy that allows their customers to positively influence others helping create a demand for their product or services.

Digital Advertising is less expensive than traditional advertisement, but it has to be done right. Every site has to be optimized and a complete understanding of each platform’s audience must be known. There has to be a balance of daily post with branding and testimonies from clients. There also has to be informational blogs and educational videos that show you are an expert in your field. DeliveryMaxx makes this happen on a consistent basis meeting all of your needs in the digital world giving you a stronger reach on the internet allowing you to focus on what you do the best.

No matter the cause of the virus, how serious or not or if someone is behind a terrorist act, businesses will have to be vigilant to survive while the world seems to be crashing around them.

When it comes to an online digital strategy, businesses must make sure their message is concise and supportive of their narrative. If a business provides a great product or service, there should be several pieces to their online digital media strategy that supports these claims: Blogs, Reviews, Daily Post, Video Messaging, Automated Follow-Up and Website.

Controlling your Message gains Trust with Customers

Blogs- These are written pieces that have the ability to educate the consumer with facts and supporting documents. Great stories on how the product or service is being used can validate these assertions. It is also important to insert current events into these blogs. Letting the public know that you know what is going on in the world is important.

· Reviews- Many companies talk about getting a “lot of stars”, but reviews are so much more than that. The goal is to have customers mention the product/service, why they visited your business and who specifically helped them. Have you ever notices negative reviews state all of these things, but positive reviews might be a one word or one sentence on why they are happy? Businesses should make it available and easy for their happy customers to be able to share their complete experience with the world on multiple platforms. Video Testimonies should also be part of every businesses digital media strategy. If we can see a customer truly happy, then it is more believable. If you are a business that still pays for “Fake Reviews” customers can see through this. Number one, those reviews are not being looked at by the average customer and number two, if you are spending that much time on “Fake Reviews” your business will never achieve maximum profitability.

· Daily Post- There must be a method behind your post. Are the post engaging to customers? Do they create an emotion that can create a call to action? If you are paying a company to put the same post on your sites as every other one of their clients sites than you are not understanding how daily post work. In addition, you should be putting daily post on all of your social media sites to make sure you are optimizing the opportunity to reach additional customers.

· Video Messaging- There is nothing better than a candid video that talks about your business or the service you provide. The most searched videos are “How to Videos”. Everyone utilizes the internet to find information. If you want people to search your business, you better have the information they are looking for.

· Automated Follow Up- Customer Retention is easier than finding new customers. Your digital strategy should have a consistent approach to letting the customer know you care. This should also be in a digital format to allow your customer to easily share the information with all of their friends and family.

· Website- When it comes to E-commerce, businesses must understand their website is their digital Brick and Mortal Location. Their contact information should be very easy to find as well as information on their products or services. Their site must be optimized, but that means all of their social media sites should drive traffic back to their website. A business website should also have information that shows why their customers should utilize their business with supporting information. However, this supporting information should not make it where a customer would leave their site and go to a competitor’s site one button click away.

Every Business should take a look at the messaging that is going on with the Coronavirus. Businesses can learn from their mistakes and actually improve how they can talk to their customers if and when we resume back to normal.

Much of the population has been scared into locking themselves in their houses and not going out into public. Of course we know this isn’t entirely true because Big Box Stores are still open, the military continues to be active, Government at the National, State and Local level are completely operational, and it seems that there are more “Essential Businesses” like the McDonald’s Drive Thru Worker, Braum’s Ice Cream Scooper, Arts and Crafts Store that provides yarn to crochet, Home Depot and Lowes will still give you advice on how to build a fence and of course any place that sells toilet paper.

Our government’s message on how deadly this virus is seems to be moving all over the spectrum. Remember, the famous Epidemiologist, Neil Ferguson who boldly predicted that the United States would achieve 2.2 million deaths in a very short amount of time only later changing the claims as drastically lower because over 85% who get the virus show no or very mild symptoms? This was the same chart that everyone said we must balance the curve…whatever that truly means. Of course the premise of the whole scare was that 100% of the world’s population would become infected with the virus and with a little research one would find that this has never happened in the history of the world.

How about Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who told others there are too many variables at play in the pandemic to make the models reliable: “I’ve looked at all the models. I’ve spent a lot of time on the models. They don’t tell you anything. You can’t really rely upon models.” The same day, we were introduced to Jeffrey Shaman, a Columbia University epidemiologist whose models were cited by the White House, said his own work on the pandemic doesn’t go far enough into the future to make predictions akin to the White House fatality forecast. “We don’t have a sense of what’s going on in the here and now, and we don’t know what people will do in the future,” he said. “We don’t know if the virus is seasonal, as well.”

CBS News even admitted airing footage of an overwhelmed Italian hospital while reporting on the coronavirus outbreak in New York City (included a short clip from the Sky News video in a segment about the outbreak of COVID-19 in New York City, which the outlet calls "America's Epicenter") in order to continue to promote fear and uncertainty. The CDC, WHO and United States Medical Examiners are counting any death such as heart disease, suicide or other causes of death of a person who has symptoms of the Coronavirus as COVID-19 Related Deaths. Although very misleading, ultimately this will continue to add to mistrust of the media.

Messages like these have produced panic in our society and are continuing to hurt the economy because of so much misinformation that is being presented to the public. These are great lessons to learn as we try to navigate around uncertain times. As a business, you can continue to make sure your message is clear, concise and accurate. Having a digital strategy will allow you to gain potential customers trust and increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.

How Businesses are Adapting to Adversity

It’s easy to tell everyone to stay home when one has a guaranteed paycheck coming in because they are working for a company has either been dictated essential or a company will receive a bailout from the government and can pay for their employees to stay at home. Remember, essential workers are people like the McDonald’s Drive Thru Order Taker, Nurses, The cart person at Costco, Police Officers, A cashier at Academy Sports & Outdoor, Firefighters, A receptionist at a law firm, Fry Cook at KFC, an Ice Cream Scooper at Braum’s, US Military, Liquor Stores and many more. These are entities that the government and apparently many of us have no problem with not abiding by the 6 foot rule in social distancing. These employees must have been declared by the CDC and WHO as a non-threat to our elderly and those with underlying health conditions as policies have made exceptions to allow those employees to continue to provide for their families. (Disclaimer: For those who do not understand sarcasm, all businesses are essential to the success of our economy!)

However, non-essential employees like Hairdressers, Many Dine-In Restaurants, Churches and Retail Sales have been asked to stay at home so we can eradicate a virus that will continue to reappear each year. (Yes, we have set the precedent for these restrictions to take place again.)

In the last two weeks nearly 10 million new claims for unemployment have been filed according to a New York Times article quoting the US Labor Department. The speed and scale of the job losses is without precedent. (The only thing faster would have been if we actually would have seen 2.2 million deaths (6,027 a day) like the famous Epidemiologist, Neil Ferguson boldly predicted (later changing the claims as drastically lower because over 85% who get the virus show no or very mild symptoms) and our Government that passed a 2.2 Trillion Dollar Pork Filled So-Called Stimulus Package that we are leaving our children to pay back.) We are well on our way to etch our fate into history as we skip right over another major recession and right into The 2^nd Great Depression. All it will take is for our labor force to get to the 60 million jobless mark. According to St. Louis Fed projections, the coronavirus economic freeze better could cost 47 million jobs and send the unemployment rate past 32%.

There is a silver lining though!

Everyone who is tired of hearing about the Coronavirus and Social Distancing will start hearing about higher crime rate both violent and non-violent, increased divorce rate, child abuse, more government regulation and quick fixes, socialist programs, mental health, suicides and drug addiction. It only took World War 2 to pull us out of the last Great Depression where 418,500 American military and civilians paid the price with their lives. We have several foreign countries like North Korea, Iran, China and more who love the political discourse in our country and will gladly be ready to take us on in a war. In fact, yesterday a U.S. official said intelligence threads about a potential attack by Iran or Iran-backed forces had been building for some time. The official did not disclose intelligence on the timing or precise locations of any attack.

The great thing about many businesses and entities as no matter how insane regulations and obstacles our government has put in front of them, they have found a way to overcome and provide a living for their family and the families they employee.

In a recent Forbes blog, Tom Coliccho, founder of Crafted Hospitality and host of Bravo’s Top Chef expects that 70% of restaurants will close and not be able to reopen unless they receive another $440 Billion Dollars. (That’s only another $13,000 on top of the $30,000 that every family will have to pay back in taxes. It’s just debt.) Restaurants already have a slim margin for profit, but provide many jobs for single parents, independent college students, career service providers and part-time employees. Even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez better known as AOC who is the Socialist Democratic US Representative for New York’s 14^th congressional district was a bartender just before she was elected by New Yorkers and now serves on committees making decisions for the rest of the country. These restaurant owners are trying everything possible from utilizing social media to encourage viewers to buy recipes and uncooked products just to keep their business open.

Churches have utilize video messaging and social media platforms to conduct their weekly sermons. However, our religious house of worship need additional revenue from their parishioners to continue to provide outreach programs for abused women and children, unemployed households trying to provide food for their families, homelessness and other charitable opportunities. In addition to the lead preacher, churches have a staff of maintenance crew, secretaries, accountants and other essential employees that are needed to keep the doors open.

Those employees who are in sales have adapted to get their message out to the masses as well. They still have products to sell which is inventory the businesses must move to continue to pay rent on buildings, salaries for staff support, other vendors who provide necessary services and monthly operational expenditures. Sales people are utilizing social media through image and video messaging to continue to comply with the social distancing guidelines.

The Greek philosopher, Plato once stated, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” A need or problem encourages creative efforts to meet the need of solve the problem. Yes, we have a virus that can kill people. However, the government regulations that have been put in place will also ultimately lead to others untimely death or at the least destroy everything they have worked for and the opportunities they are providing for others to achieve life, liberty and their pursuit of happiness.

Nobody would think any different if the shutdown only meant 2 weeks of everyone staying at home. However, this economic halt will have much more consequences than 2 weeks of helping your kids with online classes.

To recover or even avoid being completely shut down, businesses must embrace a technological transformation in automation as well as trying to provide their message to the masses gaining a reach to solicit, sell and service their products. 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. 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. Over 60% of both YouTube and Facebook users expect an increase while only 2% expect a decrease.
