In times like these, it is imperative that we as business owners remember that we are all in this together.
Our clients and customers are struggling and other business owners are struggling. People in our communities are struggling, some not having enough to eat. Pets are being turned in to humane societies or abandoned in record numbers because their families can no longer care for them.
Now is the time to focus on ways to help those who are less fortunate. Now is the time to work collaboratively with nearby businesses to offer your customers added value and help those in need at the same time.
How about having a food collection for the local food bank? Several local businesses could participate. Maybe give 5% off a product or service to those who bring in a can of food. Or, how about collecting items for the local humane society? Anyone who brings something is automatically entered into a drawing for a product or service.
If we can pull together and make bonds now, while times are rough, we will also have the strength of those bonds during the good times.
