iZooto
Published on Mar 30, 2020
Welcome to the First Day of the Virtual Office Hours Series from iZooto.
The economy is in free fall. Businesses are on all-time loss, customers are hurting and the employees are clueless. In times like these when a pandemic has hit us like a hurricane, everyone is confused, a pang of anxiety has gripped everyone in the gut and there is an unsettling feeling of what tomorrow might bring. And all we have left is hope, that things will get better.
Most of us are self quarantined, working from home for the first time and a lot of us are all alone in a house, trying to get sh*t together.
So we are getting on calls on the weekdays in and out to help you during these tough times. You can join us for virtual office hours and ask us anything. Literally ANYTHING. Best things come when we brainstorm together, doesn’t it?
No one saw this coming. In these times of uncertainty, we are taking a shot at what marketers should do to make a difference. Here are a few points that we cover in this episode -
1. How have businesses been impacted?
2. What kind of businesses has been impacted and what haven’t?
3. What can you do today?
4. Is this a good time to explore alternate revenue model?
5. Understanding their post-COVID19 needs.
6. What is it that we at iZooto are doing to solve this?
Want to be a part of such fun conversations too? Join us here: https://hubs.ly/H0p0rsX0
