In this post, WSI IC, Lisa Kilrea, discusses the recent COVID-19 pandemic and some of the far-reaching impacts that it’s having on businesses across the US, in addition to highlighting how your company can continue generating leads and new business even during these uncertain times.

The COVID-19 Effect on Business

The global pandemic has hit the manufacturing sector exceptionally hard due to the enormous disruption that has occurred to supply chains. Partial and complete closure of factories and plants has drastically impacted business both here, and globally. As a ripple effect, many shops and businesses have struggled to keep up with consumer demands, and many brick-and-mortar stores have been forced to shut their doors. The growing need and use of e-commerce, online, and remote operations have shifted into overdrive. As an example, there has been an explosion of digital and online ordering; a direct result of consumers being unable to visit physical stores.

But this doesn’t mean that there still aren’t important business opportunities to be had. With major conferences and trade shows being canceled as a response to COVID-19, 42% of B2B trade show budgets will now be used for digital advertising or content creation. A little innovative thinking and change in expectations can ensure that your company still prospers and keeps clients happy. Lisa Kilrea will highlight more opportunities like these in our FREE webinar and provide in-depth insight into how to generate leads during the pandemic.
