Marketing Ideas & Tools

Online Gift Certificates

Set up a process to sell gift certificates for future services to your loyal clients. This is particularly beneficial for beauty salons, massage services, barbers, personal trainers, and other businesses that people will be eager to visit when this is over.

Get Creative With Digital Products & Delivery

Now that many folks are spending more time at home, is there an opportunity for you to provide your services digitally? For example:

• If you’re a dog kennel or trainer can you provide dog training services by video chat?
• If you’re a personal trainer or gym can you coach at home workouts by video chat or upload video works outs via a platform only your clients can access?
• If you’re a private practice doctor you can use Telehealth, a HIPAA Compliant to meet with your patients virtually and safely. ( https://business.amwell.com/ , https://teladochealth.com/ ,  https://www.mdlive.com/ )

Think about how you can get creative with delivering your products to your clients safely. If it’s shipping them their products via the mail or a contact free and sanitized personal delivery to their doorstep, your clients will remember the lengths you went to get them the products they love.
