Businesses in cities all across the country have been ordered to close or limit business in some way and some aren’t sure what to do next. While it’s difficult to be optimistic at a time like this, it’s important to stay positive and keep moving forward.<\/p>\n
I’m seeing great things from even the smallest of businesses, from restaurants ramping up their take-out menu to fitness trainers making their online programs and classes available for free to help us while social distancing. What’s great is that it\u2019s not limited to small business, as even companies like\u00a0Uber Eats are waiving delivery fees<\/a>, which helps keep people in their homes without taking as much of a financial hit, but also sends business to restaurants who might not be able to stay open otherwise.<\/p>\n The wedding divisions of\u00a0my company<\/a>\u00a0(Grindstone Weddings<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0Pixel Love Films<\/a>) are offering live streaming for couples who have already paid for their marriage license and want to go ahead with their ceremony. Live streaming allows their friends and family to share the joy, even though they aren’t able to attend. Many are planning their reception at a later date to celebrate with everyone.<\/p>\n For other businesses that are affected, we’re working with several businesses in our area to keep the flow of business as steady as possible, even though that may look different than usual. For some of our customers, we’re updating menus and making them accessible online and for others, we’re creating or updating websites, including two e-commerce stores. Now is a great time to work on blogs and articles to help boost your SEO.<\/p>\n
