Why staying in business counts the most now
The thought of shutting down your business might have haunted you quite a few times. But remember, my friend, that shouldn’t even be an option worth considering. The first rule here is keeping your doors open. As per Yelp’s Economic Impact Report, 60 percent of the businesses that have closed operations during this pandemic probably won’t reopen.
So, instead of going out, what you can do is think about revamping your current product or replacing it with something that’s in demand right now; maybe something your customers can use while staying indoors. We know that can be tough, so why not reach out to a support organization? We’re pretty sure they can be of some help.
