If your business moved to work-from-home or temporarily shuttered sometime during the last year, you may be on the path towards reopening your business. Whether you closed voluntarily or because of statewide restrictions, chances are your closed business isn’t looking its best.
Dust and grime have piled up alongside the paperwork, ordering, and daily operations that require your attention to reopen. When you plan to reopen your business, there are some things you should know about the process and how office cleaning services can help.
Decide what reopening will look like for you.
You may decide to take a cautious approach to reopen by bringing back staff slowly and offering limited hours at first. One thing everyone's learned through the COVID era is there's no one-size-fits-all for keeping your doors open as a small business. Talk with your team, your clients, and your leadership to decide dow to reopen to stay profitable and safe.
Start your social media blitz early.
You’ve already established a reliable online presence if your business transitioned to e-commerce, delivery, or pick up to survive while your storefront operation was closed. Communicate early and often about your pending reopening.
Let customers and clients know the precautions you’re taking to keep people safe. Always tell your staff about upcoming changes first and encourage your team to spread the word about the reopening.
Revisit your business model and consider restructuring.
You may be one of the business owners who went straight into survival-mode during quarantine and shut down to stay afloat. Whatever you did to remain solvent may still benefit you, even after reopening your brick and mortar location.
Your 2.0 business model may mean devoting more of your time to e-commerce, re-evaluating your product base, or taking novel approaches.
Develop safety plans for clients and employees.
As eager as you are to reopen, the dangers from COVID aren’t yet resolved, so it’s critical to put plans in place for keeping your team and your clients safe.
Besides requiring masks, establish guidelines for social distancing and limiting groups gathering in enclosed areas of your business. Limiting capacity may be necessary, or having staff alternate days at the office and working from home.
Regular cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces is another measure you can take to safeguard both staff and clients.
