Let’s support each other.

It's critical for us--as business owners and leaders--to reach out, encourage and support each other. We can do this through a variety of different ways. Simply picking up the phone and reaching out to our colleagues or to our clients shows we care. Another way we can show our support is to engage with fellow local businesses by spending money and continuing to do business with one another.

Let’s be clear in our messaging.

Your marketing message is super important now more than ever. I just want to encourage you to take a close look at what your website, social media and digital content are saying to your current and potential customers. It’s never been more relevant than it is right now. So it's important for us to evaluate whether we are communicating the right things and doing that in a way that's clear, a way that is encouraging and expresses empathy--that really connects with where customers are in this season.

Let’s really be in this together.

The final and most important thing we can do is recognize that we're all in this together and this season will pass. We will get through this. And I want to just encourage you to have hope. Hope is essential during this season of crisis. We need to see--during this season of uncertainty--hope really does trump fear.
