SOS SAYVILLE Let's Talk Corona Virus | COVID-19 Local Business Impact

Soul Of Sayville

EPISODE 01 Soul Of Sayville comes out swinging with Corona in hand to celebrate St. Patrick's Day by discussing what's on the mind of every Sayville patron, proprietor and citzen, COVID-19.

Let's start with PRACTICAL VALUE!!

LEARN TWO (2) SPECIFIC THINGS to consider that may or may not be obvious to the average super busy local business owner, but certainly make a difference in how they are perceived by the local community.

(1) Communicate with your customers frequently on social (and NOT just *BMS). We do not know how long this will last however doing everything in your power to remain top of mind on your social channels will be a worthwhile investment that will pay dividends. Stay Top of Mind with Sayville by letting your voice be heard. (Say how you feel send us voice messages) . This is an opportunity if you take action. We have already offered you help if you need it so there is hardly an excuse if you are serious about capitalizing on this time.

(2) Think Outside the Box on how to provide added value to your customers. Think practically about what will make the greatest impact to your community (i.e. 15% off customer pickup takeout orders was a genius move by La Tavola). BUT WHY STOP THERE do something even bigger together in collaboration with other local business owners (and again NOT just *BMS).

OUR BOTTOM LINE IS SAYVILLE LOCAL LOYALTY so feel free to reach out or sound off on an issue. Suffering in the silence of ignorance serves no one and is not a strategy. We know because we ask when everyone else is afraid to. Something on your mind share it and we can ask the question(s) for you.

TELL US, How You Really Feel (We ALL Benefit From Some TRANSPARENCY) - Seriously send us voice messages so your voice can be heard. If you SAY IT, we will PLAY IT #writeoutloud (with your permission of course)

The better we connect, collaborate and capitalize on our combined strengths as a community the faster we will LEARN TEACH BUILD and GROW TOGETHER!

*BMS | An acronym we coined that describes perpetual sales pitching on social media without any consideration for your customers other than "Thank You Please Come Again". (i.e. 24/7 selling instead of service an example would be failure to post a stand alone holiday greeting or acknowledge a top patron's birthday in post without there being a sales pitch attached - aka "BUY MY STUFF")
