Has the pandemic been a catastrophe or a golden opportunity for my business?
Well, since we're a healthcare software company and most of our clients are NHS hospitals who are key workers during this time, we've not exactly gone out of business! If anything, we're busier than ever, and it's critical that our software is working all the time! Looking at it that way, it does seem like a golden opportunity, especially regarding the fact we have gained way more clients during the pandemic than we normally would.
It's also been a golden opportunity to work on our social media strategy, because even though we have the same working hours while working at home, it also feels like we have more time!
A lot of people are either furloughed, working from home or out of work, meaning they will be scrolling through social media platforms more. I've personally noticed an increase in activity on Twitter in the healthcare sector.
Stores online are going to be benefitting from the outbreak because their online sales will be increasing like mad! Although you can still go food shopping, most people prefer to have it delivered to there doors at the moment, and since clothes shops and cosmetics stores aren't open people are going online to buy as well! I've personally been buying LOTS more clothes than I normally would do since lockdown, my friends too. Which is interesting. I doubt the stores are complaining though!
Will things change in the future from what we have learnt in these weeks? Maybe. I know that I'm still going to be using hand gel like my life depends on it... but when I go back to work I'm going to have to be pushed up against random strangers on the tube again! Nothing has changed there.
I reckon stores will probably be cleaning more often than they used to be now this has happened, in case something occurs again in the future. I'll probably still feel obliged to socially distance myself when I'm out in public as well... but who knows. Let's just say this time has been an interesting experience!
