Most brick-and-mortar businesses can only operate and generate revenue if their doors are open. Customers must travel to the business and come inside to make a purchase. But this model isn’t great when unforeseen circumstances require a business to shut its doors and prevent customers from coming inside.
We are seeing this right now with the COVID-19 outbreak.
Here are a few ways your brick-and-mortar business can continue to generate revenue even if your business doors are shut.
- Presale products and services.
- Sell gift cards (with a deal).
- Offer curbside pickup.
- Offer local delivery.
- Take your services online.
- Create digital products.
- Host a live online fundraiser event.
- Engage your customers so they are ready to come back when your doors open.
