The novel coronavirus has definitely caused economic disruption. While the desire for some products has soared, namely the demand for canned goods, toilet paper, & board games, there are industries that are hurting right now.
Nevertheless, some companies are actually coming out ahead as a result of the outbreak. And with the hire of more healthcare professionals nationwide, there has also been an increase in the demand for medical scrubs, which has worked out quite well for our client The Scrub Shop.
The rest of this article explains how our client is reacting to the outbreak & taking advantage of the market opportunity. If your business is suffering as a result of the outbreak, we will cover how you can come out ahead too toward the end of this article.
A Proactive Approach To Communication
If you have read our article on how to manage your online reputation during the coronavirus outbreak, then you know that it is more important than ever for you to keep your current & potential customers informed about the actions you are taking as a business owner to maintain quality, output, & safety.
Our client did this really well. Specifically, she posted on her Google My Business page that she is taking extreme measures to ensure the cleanliness of her store. In fact, she is wiping down racks & counters after each customer leaves. By making this post, she saw an increase in her in-store sales.
In response to increased demand, she also increased her inventory & started offering lab coats, which have been successful since they were placed on the racks.
Hopefully, her proactive approach to communication can be an inspiration to you. The following section outlines some key takeaways for you.
