Learn the trending ways businesses are using digital to increase customer confidence and ultimately, bring them back in the door.
- Many customers – especially those at risk – will be more likely to return if they know you are taking extra measures to protect their health. What do you expect from your employees? Do you sanitize shopping carts after every use?
- The same individuals who have may not have visited your store in person in almost a year will need to know how your business has changed. With an easily changeable digital display you can promote changing hours and special hours for high risk groups. Since curbside pickup is in high demand you’ll want to promote what customers can do when they arrive.
- Share how you would like customers to act while shopping. Do you want them to wear masks? Do you enforce social distancing? If ordering pickup, will you bring it to the curb or do they need to go inside?
- Once inside, digital technology can help with wayfinding and remind customers of enforced rules or new procedures. You can also direct customers to high volume items such as toilet paper, medication, and remind them of additional promotions you have.
- Communicate your capacity counts so everyone can rest at ease that policies are being followed.
The world as we know it will likely not return to “normal” post-COVID. As medical advice changes and your business evolves, digital can be there to reassure customers and inform customers about your policies, increasing overall confidence. These recommendations will continue to evolve in the months and years ahead, and digital technology provides a clean, efficient and easy method to increase business.
