Communicate if you can
If you already have an online presence, let your customers know how fast delivery will be if they order from you and your stock availability. If you have a customer e-mail list, use it to communicate that you are there. If your website isn’t e-commerce, let customers know that you are considering it and that you will keep in touch.
If you don’t communicate how do your customers know that you are still there? Our team can help with your communication needs, Social Media and e-mails.
What to Consider
Do you have an online presence?
Can you sell online?
Is your customer base transient or loyal?
What are your competitors doing?
Stock packaging and distribution
