This last Thursday, May 11, 2020, the Board of Directors 'virtually' conducted their monthly meeting. The main discussion of the meeting began with an important question:
“What is the sentiment of the market during this stay at home order?
”
The consensus is, that although there are difficult times ahead they remain cautiously optimistic. There may be opportunities for our industry as stimulus money could drive consumers to purchase luxuries that they generally would resist.
Instagram, Facebook, Ebay, and Etsy are a few online platforms that may be good sources to use during this pandemic and in the future. These platforms are a good way to reach new customers and build a new clientele.
Servicing clients 'face to face' will become challenging as social distancing rules become the new norm. Offices and stores will need to apply new guidelines to be compliant with new COVID-19 regulations. All customers will be required to wear a mask and establish proper social distance requirements once they enter your premises.
