Many companies are struggling at the moment. It seems to be divided across different industries, some are struggling more than ever and others have seen an increase in business. If you are one of the businesses that are struggling then you may need to think on new ways in which you can start to grow your business and start to increase your turnover again.

Companies are being persuaded to try and limit the amount of face-to-face contact they have with their customers and therefor online marketing is even more important that it was before. If you do not already use one of the many social media platforms to market your business then now definitely is the time.

You may have been considering selling your products or services online in the past but never actually made the commitment. If this is the case then now would be the perfect time to take the plunge. Although you will have to find the upfront cost to have the website built it does mean if your business premises have to close then you can still continue to trade. Some web agencies or freelancers will allow you to spread the cost of your website over several months.
