Adapting to the Challenges of Remote Work

Many businesses have shifted to remote work to stay operational while helping prevent the spread of COVID-19. But what if your business relies on in-person services or products? It’s time to get creative and explore solutions to keep your business thriving.

While government loans may offer temporary relief, becoming self-reliant gives you a significant advantage. There are many ways to sustain your business and engage your customers, even during a shutdown. Let’s explore strategies to keep your business moving forward.

Work Remote from Home

Selling products online gives you a major edge in the current climate. Turn your home into a mini shipping station to keep operations running smoothly.

VantagePoint Marketing can help by adding an online shop to your website and creating a seamless e-commerce solution. Our integration of shipping programs minimizes manual data entry, saving you time and effort.

Offer Gift Cards

Gift cards provide quick income for businesses unable to sell products online. They’re ideal for services like salons, massage therapy, or tattoo studios.

To encourage purchases, offer discounts on higher-value gift cards. Customers save money while supporting your business during this downtime.

We can set up your website to sell digital gift cards that customers receive via email. This eliminates the need for manual processing, making it simple and efficient.

Build Your Audience

Use this downtime to enhance your brand’s reputation. Share valuable, entertaining, or educational content to connect with potential customers.

Providing free tips or insights positions your business as a trusted expert, encouraging future sales without immediate pressure. Authenticity is key—genuinely offering value will build long-term customer loyalty.

Enable Deliveries or Pick-Up

Restaurants and similar businesses can continue serving customers with delivery or curbside pick-up options. Orders placed online or by phone maintain social distancing while keeping your business active.

Explore Additional Ideas for Remote Work

Consider offering a subscription service for valuable information your customers are willing to pay for. Even small monthly fees can generate steady income.

Need promotional products? VantagePoint can help you create an online store for custom merchandise. Simply promote it, and we’ll handle the rest—from production to shipping!
