The last week has seen a lot of businesses feeling relieved and joyful as they’ve been able to open their doors and offer their services more efficiently with the latest easing of lockdown restrictions.

But our question this week is – Do people really know what’s happening in your business?

Something that is noticeable with quite a number of businesses is that they have done the bare minimum to let people know that they are now “more open” or “more accessible” than before. There may be a sign on their window and possibly an update on their website – but that’s about it!

What smart business owners need to do is COMMUNICATE with their local community to drive them to the site, or visit the premises.

Here’s 5️ easy things you can do to increase your website traffic, phone calls, social media messages and visits to your business.

  1. Post on your Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram pages.
  2. Drop a message into any local groups you may be part of on social media.
  3. Email your past customers who haven’t been able to visit or use you fully over the last year to say you’re now ready to help them again. (And why not throw in a nice offer for them as a “Thank You” for their previous support and entice them back in).
  4. Follow up with prospects who enquired during lockdown to inform them you can now help them and would love to speak to/see them ASAP (‘cos your competitors probably won’t think to do that).
  5. Update your opening hours on Google My Business.

 

‼️REMEMBER‼️

They should just be simple messages to inform people that you are excited to be back open and can’t wait to see them again. No hard-selling!
