You\u2019re competing against the increasing number of new businesses, the migration online and the mounting pressures to help clients feel safe and secure in your business. How do you catch attention and create an engaging environment for clients right now? If you\u2019re reopening your business soon, you need to create a space that draws people in and makes them feel secure once they\u2019re there. Here\u2019s how you can adapt your business to changing client preferences and overcome the challenges of reopening in a socially-distant way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h3>Changing Client Preferences<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way we shop has changed. As a business leader, how do you satisfy consumers\u2019 preferences to connect and support local? As well as their desire to shop both online and in-person? Their want for on-demand access? And a secure environment? Consumers want to connect, and to keep their distance. Here are some ways our clients\u2019 preferences have changed or grown over the last 12 months:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shop local<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.retailtimes.co.uk\/two-thirds-of-consumers-more-likely-to-shop-locally-compared-to-a-year-ago-mastercard-shows\/\">Two thirds of consumers are more likely to shop in their local community than they were 12 months earlier.<\/a> Community initiatives, government support schemes and a growing sentiment to champion your neighbourhood have culminated in a preference to know the people behind the business. To connect with them. To support them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"supportdublin.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25806 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/support-dublin-imac-1030x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1012\" height=\"717\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/support-dublin-imac-1030x731.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/support-dublin-imac-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/support-dublin-imac-80x57.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/support-dublin-imac-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/support-dublin-imac-260x185.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/support-dublin-imac-450x320.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 1012px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1012px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1012\/717;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blended online + in-person<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/gregpetro\/2020\/12\/04\/do-consumers-really-want-to-shop-online\/?sh=170e12ee6cf4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRetail leaders must first understand what customers actually want now and then begin to craft online and in-store experiences that align with consumer expectations and appetite for shopping for categories in both places.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online shopping has undoubtedly grown over the past 12-18 months. With high street stores closed or consumers opting to shop from home more often, more people have made the jump to virtual purchases. That\u2019s not to say we swap our stores for warehouses though. Many reports show people prefer different ways of shopping for different goods and services. Survey your clients and research online to better understand whether your audience is opting for online, or in-person. One key takeaway is that omni-channel marketing and offerings are a key contributor to success. Become salient in the marketplace, be where your clients need you, when they need you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-27156 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iphone-signin-983x1030.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"983\" height=\"1030\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iphone-signin-983x1030.png 983w, https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iphone-signin-286x300.png 286w, https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iphone-signin-76x80.png 76w, https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iphone-signin-768x805.png 768w, https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iphone-signin-673x705.png 673w, https:\/\/www.nettl.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iphone-signin.png 1039w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 983px) 100vw, 983px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 983px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 983\/1030;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeking engagement and connection<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps it&#8217;s the long days spent at home, the plethora of video calls, or the absence of nights on the dance-floor.

Share social media posts, website announcements and signage outside your business to let customers know what they can expect from working with you.
