It’s going to be hard having your stores close but KZbin allows you to make money from home. Maybe not much but push out some great business content and you might be surprised at the feedback. - warehouse tour - how your warehouse is organized - how to organize inventory - storytime videos - how to hire employees/train them/rules you have - how to find a warehouse. - what to do with old inventory Just some ideas. Hope that helps. Stay positive, we’ll get through this 💗

You could do pre-sale tickets to an event at your store for when you open again. Like an exclusive private shopping event-put out new items for the summer. Customers get first dibs at the new stuff and offer some sort of deal for items purchased at the event. Like 15% off. Some stores do that around here for each season. Seems to work. Look into the Small business grant Facebook just launched to help business get through this difficult time. You got this!

Girl I feel you! I haven’t closed my 2 stores yet (I’m in Florida) but I’m sure it’s coming. I am personally taking this time to plan and brainstorm ways to get more creative and turn lemons in to lemonade. I am hesitant to do big sales but I sell a lot of Spring wedding guest dresses and there are not going to be any weddings this spring 🤦♀️ Please do a video of any creative ways you’re handling the store shut downs or maybe a fb live where we can all share ideas? Keep your head up this will pass! ❤️

I'm so sorry for your situation and for everyone in America right now. Here in Denmark the government are paying 75% of employees wages if the business promises not to fire them, compensating businesses for loss of profits (regardless of whether you are a small business or a major airline), paying businesses bills, delaying tax and VAT payments so we have more cash available, etc. It's costing the government billions but it's still cheaper than economic collapse! I'm so worried for you guys with your healthcare system. Stay safe and stay away from other people as much as you can!

I wonder if there are any neighbouring businesses open that are willing to take your packages. I had to close my store this week too and it was the hardest decision ever. I am nervous that I won't be able to pay my bills but just gotta stay positive and do what I can to get online orders. I am now open on Saturdays for 3 hours for people to pick up their orders. Might be something worth looking into. I also did a Live Sale and it brought in a lot of money quick.

It’s how they generate most of their sales now- they’re have mini “try-ons” during the afternoon when people would normally have their lunch breaks and then they utilize longer try-ons in the evenings. They’re called Indie Jane Boutique on Facebook if you want to see how they’ve utilized it. They have a standard Facebook group and then they created a VIP Facebook group that you have to be invited too and they offer exclusive discounts and first looks for that group. Just know we’re all rooting for your success and we know you’ll come out of this thriving!🙌🏼🌿

Just so you know, many retail stocks like Kohls, Macys, and such, are being priced as if bankruptcy is on the table. Retail is going to dive as a result of the corona virus which will last for many months, and the recession (maybe depression) that follows, will not help. Be careful with your expenditures, lots of companies aren't able to handle the significant drop of revenue.
