How to do business after Covid!

Matthew Wileman • November 22, 2020

How to Do Business After COVID: Business owners around the world are asking themselves the same question right now. How can I do business after COVID?


What we have learned is that in times of chaos, humanity steps up to the plate. There are thousands of businesses around the world looking to make a positive impact right now. If you’re one of them, we’ve put together a list of ways that you can help.


Business doesn’t have to come to a complete halt, it just needs to come from an ethical place. Remember, there’s a reason that this is a list. It’s not so you can check off everything listed it’s so you can see the available options and choose the best one for your business, right now. 


You don’t have to be a marvel super hero that saves the entire day., you can be the business owner who does what makes sense for them, their employees, and their company while doing good for the world.


Here’s a list of 5 ways to do good as a business right now after COVID:


1: Create Exciting offers


Your business might not have an offer that makes sense right now.


For example, a personal trainer might not have offered at home live-streamed workouts before. However now, that’s a different story. They can all offer their clients at home workouts via live streams or video calls. Their clients will be happy to be able to keep working out, and the trainer will be happy to keep working. What offer could you create based off of your existing products?


2: Give Away Free Products


If you have a business that does have relevant products right now, you can give away those products for free for a certain amount of time.


For example, here at Up2Speed Marketing Ltd we have given away Mobile apps or AI websites with certain packages on the 27th November due to our Black Friday Deals. Small business owners around the world that were at home and looking for ways to stay productive were able to carry on trading online after Lockdown. What product could you give away for free that would help people right now?


3: Charity Organisation support


Not every business has a product that fits well into the current global situation, and that’s understandable. For these businesses, this doesn’t mean they need to shut down until the time is right to sell again. Instead, they can collaborate with a charity organization to give a certain percentage of profits for a specific time frame to charity organizations that are relevant right now. What charity could you partner with?


4: Provide Support and Guidance


Understandably, not every business is in a place to offer free products or have the access to a facility that can make products like hand sanitiser & masks. But, every business does have an email list of customers who are looking for support and guidance during this time. This isn’t permission to spam your list with COVID-19 campaigns, this is an opportunity to help your customers in ways you have not been able too before. Linking them to charities, job boards, webinars, and more can be what they need from you right now. What are your customers’ biggest pain points right now and what solves them?

5: Create a Place for Community


While everyone is going through the same experience in one way or another, we’re all having a totally different experience. E-Commerce businesses are wondering how to make their products and get them shipped overseas. Marketers are asking their peers how they’re changing their messaging and campaign structure. Business owners are figuring out if they’ll be able to survive the next few months. Since your customers all have one similarity, you can do your good for the world right now by offering them a community around it.


For example, an E-Commerce Facebook group to talk about the ways everyone is figuring out how to get products, a marketing Slack group to showcase great examples of COVID-19 messaging, and a Zoom call for business owners to talk about what they’re doing to ensure longevity. Where can you create a community for your customers to talk to others with similar problems?


It’s humbling to see so many small business owners step up & ask themselves how they can help the world. You can ethically promote your business right now, helping those in need while ensuring you’re able to service your customers & employees.


Just remember, any positive impact is an impact. No matter how large or small.

Will AI replace SEO?

By Emma Wileman • November 8, 2023
It is unlikely that AI will replace SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) entirely, but it may change how SEO is conducted & evolve the role of SEO professionals. AI can certainly impact SEO in several ways. For example, AI-powered algorithms used by search engines may become more sophisticated in understanding user intent and delivering relevant search results. This could affect how SEO professionals optimise websites for search engines, by placing a higher emphasis on creating high-quality, user-focused content that aligns with search engine algorithms. AI can also assist SEO professionals in automating repetitive tasks such as data analysis, keyword research, and content optimisation. This could potentially lead to increased efficiency in SEO processes and allow SEO professionals to focus on more strategic aspects of SEO, such as developing content strategies and optimising user experience. However, SEO also requires human creativity, strategic thinking, and understanding of user behavior, which may not be fully replaced by AI. SEO professionals can still provide valuable insights, expertise, and strategic planning to optimise websites for search engines and deliver the best possible user experience. So, while AI may impact how SEO is conducted, it is unlikely to replace it entirely. SEO professionals will likely continue to play a vital role in optimising websites for search engines & ensuring that businesses achieve visibility & rankings in search results. Keeping up with emerging technologies, including AI, and adapting SEO strategies accordingly can be crucial for businesses to stay competitive in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
