Adapting to the New Marketplace

During this chaotic economy, businesses are adopting creative strategies to stay afloat. We all optimistically hope that business will rebound by the summer of 2021. When and if the marketplace bounces back, the business environment will be changed. The consumer is a creature of habit, and the method of purchasing goods and services has changed during the pandemic.

Online purchasing has increased exponentially creating opportunities for retailers to sell goods via the internet causing the demise of many large retail chains to shrink and eventually go out of business.

Gyms have gone out of business due to membership cancellations. Exercise equipment companies like Peloton, Nordic Track, and Mirror are heavily promoting their home gym equipment that in some cases daily online classes. This is an example of blending a product with a service. Sales of home fitness equipment have skyrocketed. Peloton stationary bike currently will take 8 to 10 weeks to ship.

Business owners have to reevaluate their position in their markets and adapt to the changing economy.

  • Hello, Neat post. There’s an issue with your web site in internet explorer, could
    test this? IE still is the market leader and
    a large portion of other people will miss your fantastic writing due
    to this problem. asmr 0mniartist

  • Colette,
    Thank you for your comments. I’m sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but I just was informed about the comments section.
    For starters, you are writing about what you know which is very important. Maybe, because I’m older I still prefer to put my thoughts on a legal pad and re-write before I publish an article. Good luck with your blog!

  • Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.

    Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very
    techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
    I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where
    to start. Do you have any points or suggestions?
    Many thanks
