COVID-19 may forever change how businesses operate and how consumers make purchases. If your business is a brick-and-mortar store, it might be unclear on when you’ll be able to re-open your doors. Even then, it could still be time before sales start reflecting what they were under normal circumstances.

How to maintain digital strategies from COVID-19 for the long run

When COVID-19 hit and businesses were forced to shutter their doors (for good reason), it left many companies scrambling trying to figure out how to stay afloat during a pandemic. However, small business owners are infinitely resourceful, and many companies utilized digital communication tools, strategies, and tools to connect with co-workers and customers in new ways during these times. 


Now, as many businesses are tasked with the prospect of reopening, it would be foolhardy to let all that digital innovation go by the wayside. Rather, it’s vital to maintain those digital strategies and crisis-mode efforts for the long run.
