Organizations use lots of incentives to encourage specific behaviors. The idea is that people will change behavior because of the monetary element of incentives. However, these incentives could be doing a lot more than that, which can have beautiful or terrible effects on your customer-driven growth. Ph.D. student Alicea “Allie” Lieberman from the University of California, San Diego, was a guest on our podcast recently to discuss incentives.

COVID-19 is impacting all dimensions of the workplace, from where we work to how we interact with customers and co-workers. Further, it has highlighted the need for schedule flexibility as more employees work from home and are faced with other constraints such as school closures and childcare. With most companies in or moving toward a work-from-home model, a cloud-enabled remote workforce is the new imperative.

We need to better understand shoppers. Why? Because retail is in crisis. Investment in bricks and mortar stores has declined 30% in the US and a staggering 50% in Europe. In the UK 50,000 of the 500,000 high street stores are empty , that’s a whopping 10%. But that level can even be higher, double or triple that in some parts of the country. The government in the UK just upped its rescue fund to a billion pounds and slashed its rates in the hope of lowering rents.

A few months ago, no company or business would have thought to prepare for a pandemic. However, everyone is currently experiencing an unprecedented situation, which has forced us to stand back, breathe and think. Even though companies are usually taking a step back in times of crisis (for example, during the global economic recession of 2007-2009), this case is totally different.

Social Media Marketing for Restaurants. More consumers than ever are discovering great restaurants through social media. It therefore makes sense that a growing number of restaurants are integrating social media into their restaurant marketing strategy. According to Cornell University , approximately 75 percent of independent restaurateurs use social media to attract diners, and as much as 59 percent of chain restaurants and franchise brands do the same.

Coronavirus has entirely changed the notion of working from home. Almost overnight, millions of people have been asked or ordered to leave the office and work remotely to help contain the spread of the virus, while trying to continue operations ‘as normal’. Many industries and companies find themselves in one of three camps: it’s had a negative impact on them, they are fortunate that their service or product is less affected by these circumstances, or they are benefiting from it.
