Has the foot traffic through your door dried up since the imposition of the State of Disaster by the national government in response to the coronavirus pandemic ?

Don’t wallow in pity. Take charge and re-align your business with the reality of the situation. And no-one knows how long this will last.

STEP ONE – Take your business to your customer

  • Make sure you have a great website, that is fully responsive (ie reads properly on cell phones and tablets, not just desktop PCs).
  • Establish supporting social media accounts that are public and in enterprise mode.
  • Make sure your product range is readily accessible online.
  • Keep it alive by posting regular specials.

STEP TWO – Take your product to your customer

  • Allocate an underutilised member of your staff as the delivery person, bearing in mind that they will be representing your brand. Assign someone who you would trust as salesman, server or customer service agent.
  • Formalise a clear, distance-based delivery cost – benchmark is R10 per 10km.
  • Set up your Zapper business account, if you don’t already have an electronic transaction option like a portable card machine.
  • Create your point of contact – this can be a telephone number, WhatsApp call or text, an email generated by a web form.
  • Create and collect cell phone numbers and email addresses of your customer target customers.

ENGAGE WITH YOUR EXISTING AND NEW CUSTOMERS

  • Set a clear hygiene policy for your staff members and make this freely available online.
  • Create and distribute email newsletters sent to your database.
  • Create and boost posts to social media inviting online bookings and delivery.
  • Ensure there is inflexible hygiene protocols at point-of-contact with your customer – spray hand sanitiser prior to hand-over and any other transaction or interaction.

TELL YOU SUCCESS STORY

  • Post pictures/videos and messages of support from your customers on your website and social media platforms, ideally tagging them to enhance virality.
