Trading during a Global Pandemic | Selling online
Firstly. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
It has been a tough ten months or so for most of us, and I hope you have managed to navigate your way through it as unscathed as possible. It's still important, in my mind, to remember that 'getting through it' without losing someone close to us should still be seen as the 'success'.
At GAAP, we deal with many different sectors, industries and, indeed, sizes of businesses. As the first Lockdown hit, we could feel the concern and worry about how we would ALL be able to survive this whole situation. Even before 'furlough' we, as a business, decided that it was vital to allow our client bank to not have to worry about making regular payments that they were not comfortable with.
We hoped that most would continue to make their regular 'retained' payments, but we were also realistic in the knowledge that the 'marketing spend' might be one of the first things to be cut/paused (history demonstrates that this is NOT the thing to do). This was a tough time for GAAP as many of our clients were deemed to be 'non-essential' and that affected ourselves massively.
However, here we are... survived 2020 and fighting our way through the start of 2021. So far we've not heard of any business casualties but know that things are still difficult, especially given the most recent lockdown announcement.
Given this new situation and potential stricter measures, it has NEVER been more important to be able to sell your products and/or services online. Never before have businesses had to consider the fact that selling (something) online might be the ONLY way to keep their business alive.
It is with this in mind that we have developed our capacity to deliver a Secure Check-Out System for all of our current websites and future web projects. If you already have a site with GAAP, we can help you develop your existing presence to allow you to sell online. At the very basic level, ALL companies can sell a 'voucher' of some description ... regardless of the sector that you trade-in.
We have put together a package that will allow you to get up and running (and selling) for under £1000. This will give you a unique URL (if required), Content Management System, Hosting, SSL and Secure Check-out.
All this alongside our 100+ 'Structured Digital Marketing' checklist.
