Hope for a Small Business Amidst a Challenging Year

the world is temporarily closed theater sign

The year 2020 has been quite the wild ride. It may have all started when the world lost one of our nation’s sports heroes, Kobe Bryant, all the way back in February and since then it has seemed like the hits just keep on coming. Small businesses have received devastating blows, and even with the resources they have been given there are so many that sadly have had to shut their doors for good. We have been lucky here at Marketing Juice to be able to keep our doors open, our new doors, now located in the downtown historic business district of  Cuyahoga Falls, to continue helping other small businesses stay strong and be seen in the digital world! Here’s how the second half of 2020 has been for us here at Marketing Juice. 

COVID-19 has touched the lives of every individual in the world both personally and in business. There was no exception here at Marketing Juice. Unfortunately, the marketing classes and workshops we were so excited about sharing in our new community space location had to be postponed, but don’t worry they will be back as soon as it is safe! COVID also got up close and personal and our staff, despite all recommendations and safety precautions, collectively ended up positive for the virus in October. We are eternally grateful every one of us made it through with no serious complications! 

As a whole Marketing Juice has continued to grow, starting relationships with new businesses every month and designing a plethora of new websites. Having a solid online presence is always important this day in age, but with COVID and government shutdowns it has become essential to ensure your digital marketing strategy and your website is on point as it is the online shopping and virtual classes and event have been at times the only operating branch of most businesses. We understand the significance here at MJ and provide specifically tailored, individualized support to every one of our clients.

Social media has continued to be a huge part of the digital world, with different platforms everchanging in popularity. This year we’ve seen a rapid rise in the popularity of TikTok, a video sharing platform that has been incredibly helpful with passing the time for those of us quarantined. Our social team has and will continue to keep a watchful eye on the evolving consumer behavior so our clients can be competitive with their digital approach in 2021. With the new year fast approaching we will be making announcements on new marketing plans that keep your business everywhere it should be with original and personalized content, keeping up with all the latest trends.

Stay tuned by subscribing to our email list for dates and times for upcoming classes and workshops. We will also be announcing our plans for our Community Space in the new year and have developed additional offerings specifically for businesses adversely affected by the pandemic. Despite this year of challenges, the Marketing Juice team is grateful for the support of our community and the continued confidence from our amazing clients. Keep your head up, small business owners, we’re here to help you succeed in the year ahead!
