MAIN POINTS:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
  1. Right now you have the most captive audience you\u2019ve ever had. It\u2019s time to build relationships with your customers because they are going to come back to those who they know and trust. <\/li>
  2. Right now is the perfect time to create content around product education. This can be try on videos, lives, or some sort of interactive game on your social media channels. <\/li>
  3. Be willing to adapt and try new things again. Your customers continues to grow, and so does your business. For example, If comment selling didn\u2019t work 3 months ago, it doesn\u2019t mean it won\u2019t work now!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    FAVORITE QUOTES:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    \u201cThere are so many boutiques who are thriving through this because they\u2019ve been the entrepreneur who solves the puzzle. Entrepreneurs do that better than anybody else, they solve problems.\u201d – Ashley A. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cNow is the time to serve your customers. It may not be so product-driven as much as it is product education. This may be fun content that can be entertaining to them, ere they are continually drawn to you, they don\u2019t feel like their whole mission in life is to exist so you can sell them something.\u201d – Sara Burks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cShow up, get present. It doesn\u2019t have to be perfect. Get on video, be authentic and do the things to show you are alive in your community and be real with the ups and downs of it all.\u201d- Ashley A<\/p>\n\n\n\n
