17 Fantastic Offers to Help Your Business Adapt in a Changing World

You don’t need me to tell you that things are a little bit up in the air at the moment. Due to the spread of Covid-19, wherever you are I’m sure you are experiencing changes in the way you are having to live your day to day lives or are aware that big change is around the corner. Because of this, if you are a business owner you are probably taking action to adapt the way you run your business so that you aren’t having to travel or work with people face to face.

There are businesses out there trying to make this easier for you by creating discounts or developing new services to support you. I have done some research and reached out to fellow business owners and have put together a list of 17 businesses that are doing just that. Below is an outline of their fantastic offers. Some of these offerings won’t be for everyone but hopefully there will be something useful in here for you and this post might inspire you to do your own research to see what else you can find out there that will support your business in times of change.

This is very relevant right now but it’s also sensible business practice to have contingency plans in place at any time. You never know when you might have an accident or you have to support a family member which means you have to work from home. So take the opportunity to start developing your back up plans now and see if these services could help. Even if the offers have passed by the time you read this post, even at their full price these businesses are worth taking a look at!

9. Christina Langridge – Personal Styling

We are often being told that video is one of the best ways to connect with potential clients or current clients, especially if you can’t meet with them in person. The thought of doing this is very worrying for some people and I know from chatting to fellow business owners that one of their big concerns is how they will look on video, especially as it can hang around for a long time. Christina is aware of this too and her virtual styling service is a fantastic way for you to work with someone who can help you feel great about how you look and more confident to take the plunge into using video and conducting virtual meetings.

Planning Support

12. Laura Williams – OrganisedWell

13. Allie Marsh – Events by Allie

Now, event planning might seem like a strange one to have in this blog post when we are all waiting to be told to limit contact with others, if we aren’t already. But, the time will come when we can mingle again! When that time comes some businesses would probably benefit from having a relaunch or a celebration to thank clients for their commitment. Some of you may already have events pencilled in the calendar for the future anyway. So, while you’re possibly a bit quieter why not start the planning process for those events? Allie’s service is all done via a survey and calls so you can work with her easily without having to meet and is only $99.

Health and Wellbeing 

14. Lindsay Hack – Sassy Evolution

If we can’t get to the gym, go for a swim and in some places even get out for a walk it could have a big detrimental impact on our physical and mental health. Both are very important especially when medical practitioners are saying that one of the best things we can do to prepare for Covid-19 is to stay as healthy as possible. To help us stay active, Lindsay is offering 21 days of online fitness classes for only $21 dollars. You will have access to over 25 classes each week delivered by qualified instructors. This variety means you’re bound to find something you like so that you have fun with it too.

My Final Thought

I find running a business amazing about 80% of the time. Even after 10 years of running a business I love hearing the wonderful feedback we get from clients and seeing their excited social media posts as they launch their websites. I appreciate the freedom to be creative and run with my ideas. I enjoy meeting other business owners and getting excited about collaborations. And I enjoy the flexibility that running a businesses brings so that I can balance family life and my health with work. But the other 20% of the time is filled with absolutely normal feelings of worry or stress or being overwhelmed. I think that over the next couple of months the percentages might change for all of us but the more we can talk to each other, support each other and be kind to each other, the easier it will be for everyone.
