Boxworks Back To Business – COVID-19

The Idea – Over the last couple of weeks we here in Boxworks have been putting plans together to help develop a Business Growth package for our cowork members and local businesses for when restrictions are lifted and businesses get set to return to the work environment. We have been very busy in discussions from home (thank God for Zoom) with two specialists.

1. Business Growth and Development
2. Digital Marketing and each have put together a package examining the right solutions for the different needs people will have.

Some might need a digital marketing specialist, some might need to change their current on line identity, whatever those needs are, these  two specialists have developed a package which will be run over a period of time in Boxworks.

Background – The one thing all businesses have in common right now is the need to be in business or in growth mode when we get out the other side of Covid-19. Boxworks are supporting local Waterford businesses to plan their way out of the current crisis to put them in the best position to be around, viable and with a future.”

“The How” – Not all businesses are the same and they need bespoke solutions. We will help assess their and guide them to the solutions and people that can help. Whether it’s a retailer that needs to develop an online offering or a service business trying to grow their client base, the key is to get access to the best people.

Who we work with:

1. We have been working closely with Vinnie Lynch of Rustle Group, a Waterford based entrepreneur with a track record of helping businesses achieve business growth. Vinnie will mentor and guide businesses to the resources and solutions they need to focus on right now to increase their chances of being in business and/or growing these businesses when restrictions relax in the coming weeks.
2. Will Francis – Writer | commentator on technology, digital social media | culture. Will has put together content specific for this Boxworks package – “Content Marketing for 2020 and Beyond”. This two day course will examine: 1. Content Marketing, 2. Social Media and 3. Copywriting specific to your business
