Business on hold because of coronavirus? In the meantime, do this.

Things aren't normal anywhere right now. Plans are on hold – and so are lots of online businesses. So we created a list of 10 things that ecommerce store owners can start doing today to improve their stores, even if sales are slow. We realize that it is a weird, uncertain time. But… while we’re dealing with that, there are still tactics to implement so that when things do bounce back, whenever that is, our stores and our psyches are better than ever and we are ready to roll. In this episode, we hit on: Preparing for delays: This one has always been a headache, and never more so than now. Reach out to suppliers: Get your supplier on record about what shipping and inventory will look like over the coming weeks. Learn: Yeah, yeah... you've heard it before. But there has never been a better time to level up your mind. And we've got a freebie to do just that. Grow social media channels: Are you on social more than ever? So are your potential customers. Meet them there. Set up email marketing: Sometimes a forgotten channel, email is labor-intensive to launch and smooth sailing to maintain. Now's the time. Redo your website: The entrepreneurs we've talked to have gone all-in on redesigns that they had previously been procrastinating on. Budget: Create a budget. No, really. Fine new income streams: If the economy tanks a bit – and this looks increasingly likely – then scraping together extra funds will help you stay flexible. Create a healthy workspace: There are ways to make that kitchen table a productive spot. Stay sane: We discuss ways to make sure your psyche is still in one piece when this is all over.
