5 Tips To Grow Your Business During Lockdown - Saletify The global economy never looked so vulnerable in the last 50 years. Ever since the coronavirus pandemic broke out, economic activity all over the world has come to a standstill. This was followed by widespread job cuts with several major companies handing pink slips to their employees. Still, a number of organizations have adopted a planned approach to battle the lockdown blues and turn the tide over. Saletify, a leading digital marketing agency in Pune, is one of them. If you are hunting for ways to grow your business during the lockdown period, here’s how you can do it. Plan in advance While none can conclusively predict when the pandemic will end, a crisis plan for at least six months will undeniably help. Reassess your business and focus only on essentials. Issues like sales (online versus in-person), revising fixed expenses (salaries, rent, lease payments and others) would be ideal. Companies must seriously reconsider their business plans, should the pandemic continue for more than a year. Revise your manufacturing timeline and revenue goals while creating a new operating strategy. Secure investments Capital fuels a business. There are several funds that have enough capital to deploy in the coming years. Investors have become more cautious and are taking longer to make funding decisions. History, however, has proved time and again that the economy bounces back after every crisis. In order to raise your bandwidth, approach your current investors for additional funding so that the business goes on in an uninterrupted manner. An existing investor, aware of your business model, is more likely to extend a helping hand rather than a new patron. Keep expenses under check A crisis scenario will impact revenues and it is important for organizations to track and check both variable and fixed expenses. Assessing expenses offers a clearer picture of the company’s financial condition and will help you formulate strategies. Even after the pandemic settles down, continue to keep track of your expenses so that you get an upper hand to tackle any similar unexpected economic situation in the future.
