Ideas and Resources to help Your Hospitality Business or Wedding Venue during the Co-Vid19 Crisis
The spread of the Corona Virus has decimated the Hospitality, Venues, Weddings, Events, Conference and Travel industries.
The situation continues to change daily.
Initially, the plan was to “postpone don’t cancel events” – now many venues are looking at months of lockdown and then a slow business environment & events recovery phase.
Here are some strategies that may help in the short and medium term ….
Strategies for Tough Times during the Corona Virus Crisis
- Adopt a “calm and caring” mindset – work on being a better leader & parent in these tough times
- Extreme Money Management – Secure your income & future cashflow – prepare to PIVOT yourself to do what you can
- Expense reduction strategies – review and cut your expenses and outgoings
- Assess Staff reduction options – standing down, reducing days, working from home
- Making a difference – Helping out others and being a humanitarian – R U Ok?
- Securing your supplies and your supply chain
- Watch your cash – collect debts, avoid extending credit, money from ATO and Govt Grants
- Consider your Marketing and Content Creation activities during the lockdown & downturn
- Find future sales opportunities – find your NEW market focus and prepare for post Corona
This is an excellent list of hospo resources during the crisis by Dani Valent.
