Delaware and Phase 2 of Economic Reopening

As of June 15th, state of Delaware officially entered the Phase 2 of the economic reopening. As the gradual recovery from COVID-19 continues, it doesn’t mean that our job stops right there. While our local businesses can operate now at greater capacity, child care centers can reopen and summer camps can resume, we are still required to wear face coverings in public and should adhere to all responsible social distancing guidelines.

Here’s What to Expect from Phase 1 and 2 of Reopening Delaware

Here's What to Expect from Phase 1 of Reopening Delaware

As we enter the Phase 1 and 2, the state of Delaware gradually reopens and adjusts to the new ”normal”, we’re sure you have plenty of questions about what to expect when you’re out interacting with the local businesses.

We’ve done our research and wanted to share with you the following state guidance that applies to all businesses during the Phase 1 and 2 of reopening Delaware. Please remember that during this phase, strict social distancing must be observed. Great care must still be paid to limit the spread of the virus in order to prevent outbreaks because infection rates, while slowing, remain high. We hope you join us in respecting the following guidelines:

 

General Guidance for Businesses for Phase 1 and 2 of Reopening Delaware:

 

  • Employers should close COMMON AREAS where personnel are likely to congregate and interact, or enforce strict social distancing protocols.
  • Employees and customers have a responsibility to self-quarantine if they have a reason to expect that they may be ill or may have come into contact with COVID-19. Employees who are symptomatic must not physically return to work until cleared by DPH or their medical provider.
  • Employers are encouraged to continue to have staff work from home whenever possible. Employees who have been working from home throughout this crisis should continue working from home unless there is a substantial change to business operations in Phase 1 (e.g. a business was closed, but now it’s open).
  • All surfaces touched by customers, including doors, restrooms, and point of sale infrastructure must be disinfected using an EPA-approved disinfectant every 15 minutes to 2 hours.
  • All employees required to go to work should perform a daily health check as prescribed by the Delaware Division of Public Health.
  • All employees should wash hands regularly with soap and water throughout the work day, and in particular after any time they come into contact with a customer. Hand sanitizer should be used to supplement hand washing throughout the day. Employees must also social distance from each other while working. This can be accomplished through spacing or moving workstations, staggering shifts or other means.
  • Businesses must make hand sanitizer or handwashing stations readily available for all employees and customers.
  • Downtime should be given between shifts and after closing for thorough cleanings of an establishment at a minimum after each day.
  • Employers should post signs on how to stop the spread of COVID-19, hand hygiene, and properly wear a cloth face covering.

How to Generate Demand for Your Products or Services 

by

How to Generate Demand for Your Products or Services

Successful marketing is all about three things: the right message, your target audience and good timing. When those essential elements meet, you are in a better position to generate demand for your products and services. 

Since there are many digital marketing strategies you can tap into these days, it’s crucial to know your buyer persona first. Why? Because that way you can instantly determine which channel might be the most beneficial to promote your business along with the products and services you offer. 

Targeting 

What you already know about your potential prospects will determine how you can effectively target them. Knowing your prospects’ intent is a key to turning them into paying customers. One way to achieve this is through Pay-Per-Click (PPC). 

Pay-Per-Click 

PPC ads are a great way to determine someone’s intent, because they appear on Google search results whenever someone types the keyword or phrase you linked in your ad campaign. This type of digital marketing is excellent for getting your products and services in front of those who are already looking for it.  

Another benefit of using PPC ads is the fact you can target ads by location once you specify your campaign to one region. However, the main benefit of targeting your potential audience with PPC is working with a fixed budget and an ability to cost-control your ad campaign according to the demand. 

Geolocation & Geotargeting 

This tactic is not only great for reaching potential customers in the location that you service, but it’s also effective because it’s based on user’s behavior data and preferences. 

Content Marketing 

The best way to attract people with the right intent is to create content that answers the questions they’re asking. You can do so by writing articles highlighting not only relevant information potential customers wants to know, but also your products and services. 

The idea of investing time in content marketing is to educate your potential customers so they can process the information they need to later make a confident purchasing decision.

Here’s Your Must-Have Digital Strategy Checklist 

by

Here’s Your Must-Have Digital Strategy Checklist 

When discussing your digital marketing strategy, we can’t forget about all the other basic business elements that will contribute to your plan of action. Understanding your “why”, having a polished elevator pitch, defining your buyer persona and knowing your competitive advantage are crucial concepts to take into consideration before implementing your digital strategy. 

According to The Digital Minds Book by WSI, building your plan of action requires answering important questions first. Here’s what should be on your digital strategy checklist: 

 

Must-Have Digital Strategy Checklist 

 

  • Building Your List and Your Database – This is where you’re going to nurture your prospect and customer base. Choose a platform that allows you to monitor every stage of your customer’s journey all the way to the sales pipeline.
  • Building Your Core Message – Think of this as a story your brand needs to tell the customers so they better understand your services or products. The more you focus on one main idea you’re trying to sell the better!
  • Defining Goals Within Your Strategy – Your marketing message should align with goals you’re trying to accomplish. Whether it’s generating more leads and sales, gaining authority and relevance in your industry or simply nurturing relationships and connections you already have, defining your goals will help you develop a more accurate brand messaging later on.
  • Defining the Channels – Each channel requires a different format so be selective when trying to find the right platform to carry your message. A question you should ask yourself here is: What are the digital channels that you will use to reach each buyer persona?
  • Measuring Results – This is the final strategy element that is best utilized when paired with marketing automation tools that provide analytics on a regular basis.
