Delivery, in-home service and taking your business outside its 4 walls

What does your business offer and how can you expand beyond your premises?

Flexibility and agility are two keywords that have been used to describe what’s required for many businesses at the moment. The ability to change quickly, to adapt, and to focus on serving your customers in various ways is the key to survival and potential growth. In this post, we look at some ideas that should inspire you to take action to revive and expand your business’ reach.

Home delivery and your business

Yes, I know, home delivery isn’t a new concept. However, depending on your business, you may find that offering your products for delivery can attract new customers. After all, it wasn’t so long ago that a bookseller called Jeff Bezos decided to start selling books online when people told him that customers prefer to pick them up in stores, smell them and thumb through them.

You may or may not become the next Amazon but what you will do is show customers that you are working in their interest and adapting to their needs and preferences. That’s a huge draw for people and something which is perhaps not as difficult to do as it may seem. Branded delivery vehicles themselves become a great advertisement for your business as the reality is that your customers’ neighbors are likely to have similar needs. Get a branded delivery vehicle into the houses and streets in your district and area and watch as you those neighbors become your next customers.

In-Home Services

First off, for you to begin offering an in-home service for your clients, you need to be prepared properly. Proper personal protective equipment, masks and gloves, a plan of action, and a way to keep both you and your client safe. That is an absolute priority so make sure you are prepared before actioning any of the advice below.

Businesses that come to a home to deliver a personal service such as hair, massage, makeup, plumbing, etc. are likely to see increased demand in the coming months. Due to restrictions which will come and go and the limits on numbers of people in buildings and businesses, the idea of queueing for their turn will put a lot of people off. It is this which will make them jump at the chance to get the same service at home and at a time that suits them. Look at how you can make the most of this opportunity and set yourself apart from the competition.
