Many of our contemporaries are folding up their tents and retreating, some temporarily and some permanently, in the face of COVID-19. Many other industries are being impacted, and with the news that the unemployment rate will soon be near 30%, the highest number since the Great Depression, it would appear that the only recourse is to count your losses and move on from being a business owner.
But that’s not America. And that’s not us.
Resilience. That’s who we are. We adapt. We overcome. We’ve done it before. After the housing market crisis of ‘08, America once again found its way back through legislation and business adaptation. We have yet to see a crisis emerge that we as a nation are not ready to overcome.
And that’s why it’s not time to retreat – it’s time to be resilient.
Company 119 is going to be offering some information, both on our site and our social media channels, over the next few weeks that will help businesses prepare for life after COVID-19. The world will be different, and to survive, you’ll need to think about ways you can pivot and adjust. You’ll need to be ready to return and that means planning now. Most of all, you need to keep moving now. Don’t wait until everyone is getting back to work to begin. We are going to show you how you can be doing all of this while others wait for it to pass.
Believe it or not, digital marketing is more valuable now than ever. Everyone in America is home, working on their computers or passing time on their devices, looking for a distraction. Click-through rates and conversion rates are just as high and, in some cases, higher than they were prior to the stay-at-home orders that have been issued throughout the country. If you have prepared yourself for a rainy day, today is the day to capitalize on your foresight. If you can commit to digital marketing and advertising today, you will be earning a larger market share and spending less money than it would have cost to do so a month ago.
We value all business, not just the clients we work with, and that’s why we want to be a resource that you can turn to. We aren’t doing the duck-and-cover method. We are fighting back with preparedness and knowledge, and we want to share that with you.
Join us. Adapt, overcome, and be resilient. Together, we will restore our economy and show why the entrepreneurial spirit resides so strongly in the heartbeat of America.
