Please note: Some of these questions may seem repetitive but please trust the process as it's very helpful for us to understand your business in order to help you clarify your message.
What is the purchase process for your customer (see instructions below)?
Your answer can be brief.
This question is not mandatory in case it's an obvious process (restaurants, clothing stores, etc).
Example: "We call customer from purchased list. It takes about 5 calls on average. They sign up for 'xyz' product via credit card by phone. An appt is made for them to work with an account manager to create their product. The customer has to do 'these specific tasks' in order for our team to do the work. It takes about 4 weeks for delivery. Delivery happens 'this specific way'. Purchase is over."
If unsure if you should answer this or not, please answer this question.
Besides Covid-19, is there anything your industry or business is struggling with which may be relevant to your messaging (details below)?
*
As a business owner, you may not see how sharing this is relevant to clear messaging but without knowing this, we may make a suggestion that doesn't work well right now. Our goal is to create clarified messaging for you that you only need to slightly tweak when you receive your first draft. An example of an answer to this question would be the 2009 'Cash for Clunkers' program for the car sales industry. If it were 2009 and your business was in or connected to this industry, it would be relevant and important for us to know about this.
Why did you open your business? What community problem were you trying to solve?
What community problem are you currently solving (specific compared to competitors, not generic of all in your industry)?
Have you won any awards or completed any trainings that set you apart as an authority figure in your industry? If so, please list.
What changes has your business made due to Covid-19 (healthy & safety) that customers need to know?
