This crisis is now really becoming a thing. And this social distancing will go on for a while. If you are a restaurant owner, gym owner or coach or run any other type of business where human interaction is key, you probably are feeling the consequences of this crisis already. Travel, leisure and hospitality are likely to be hit hardest if you read the studies. No industry will leave this crisis unscathed.

For you there are two ways to go about this crisis. You can either invest in learning a new skill and change work to an industry that is likely going to be hit less hard. Or you can adapt to your new reality and keep working in the trade or industry you love. Moving to an online model of acquiring and delivering your service is a first step to do that. And Match2Market is here to guide you through that process. Or maybe there are three ways, you do nothing and sit this one out. Not recommended in our opinion.

What you need to do is pivot. Pivot to translate the current situation into a chance. Because whatever way you look at it, this corona thing will have a lasting effect on how we interact with people and indeed how we do business.

In our humble opinion the best thing you can do is prepare your company to do business at a distance. What do we mean by that? If you run a restaurant where people used to come and sit, get into the online order, take away or delivery model. If you run a gym, provide lessons online so people can get or stay fit from the safety of their homes. If you are a coach, have one on one sessions through Skype, Zoom or any other means. Build one to many classes where people follow along your fitness lessons at home. Have a portal where you explain in video individual exercises and people pay you a monthly fee. You are the owner of a boutique clothing shop? Get into online ordering and home delivery. Have a lunchroom? Start taking orders from the internet and deliver at home. Do you see the common denominator here? To turn this crisis into an opportunity you need to start making online sales and lead generation a priority. And you need to start doing it now.

We thought long and hard about this. How can we help small and medium businesses get the most out of the crisis? How do we get businesses online quickly and help them turn to the online sales or online lead generation model? For this we tested some platforms where we could quickly and cost efficiently set up a web shop or online lead generating website. And we are delighted to say: we succeeded!

Within certain parameters and conditions which are laid out on our pricing page, we can now offer to start your online shop or online lead generation page for well under forty five hundred  dollars. Yes really. Way less than $ 4.500. Not will we build a solid eCommerce platform for your business. We will also build your shop on Facebook if it falls within Facebook Terms and Services (for instance, service offerings are not allowed).

Setting up the technology is however only part of the equation of success. We are convinced that any success in business starts with the right mind of the owner and defining staff. Getting into the mindset and habit of success is part of this service offering as well. 

We understand if you might think this offer is too good to be true. Are we doing this just out of the goodness of our heart? Yes and no. Yes we would like to play a big part in small and medium businesses surviving and thriving through this crisis. No in the sense that once your new website gets going, we hope you are so convinced of our customer first philosophy and professionalism you would like to start using one or more of our other services. Because frankly, this service will not make us a profit. But we hope it helps you as an SMB business owner to succeed through these hard times. And once succeeding, we hope you turn to us for additional services to grow your business further. Step into the magic of online with us with M2M Online Proof.
