What's your why?
With the world full of uncertaintity, how do we proceed?
I want to start by saying we will get through this. I'll admit, it is going to be difficult, but we will get through this. The question has been asked across the country and I am no different; what do we do now?
Budgets are shrinking or gone. Sales are down. The mood around the world is uncertain. But there are things we can do. We can help by sharing our strengths and resources. We can build awareness for our brands. We need to work together over the next few weeks to prepare for business after COVID-19.
What does that look like? In an environment where a digital presence is invaluable, we can turn to our social profiles and blog posts. Produce content, share content and offer to help each other.
If we come together and pool our resources for the benefit of everybody, we will come out of this on our feet. Together, I believe we are greater than the sum of our parts. I understand no one wants to work for free. But this isn't working for free. This is an opportunity to build relationships, help one another and to keep our businesses alive.
I am a small business owner like many of you. Things have hit my bottom line like they have yours. I would like to take this time to extend an offer of services. If anyone reading this needs web design, graphic design or any other services I may be able to help with, I'm offering to work with you on a barter system or offer payment options until you and your company are back on your feet. We'll help with whatever we can and if you just need someone to talk to, we can help with that as well. This is us doing our part to help us all work together.
It will be OK. We need to take this time to focus on what we can do to help others and what we can do to position ourselves well when business starts moving again.
We mean it when we say we love print and we love to help.
I hope you stay well, and I hope to hear from some of you over the next few weeks.
Sincerely,
Jason Hara
