This week’s sales and marketing news starts with changes. Actually, all the stories are about changes and as marketers we should be thrilled with the new challenges ahead! Well, that may be a stretch, but this week we’re sharing an article on AI model disruption, dating in the age of Covid-19, the sweatpants explosion, and I’m giving you a link to some new Zoom backgrounds. If you’re not going to buy new clothes, at least mix up your background.

In times like these, small business owners can feel pretty isolated. With people keeping to themselves more, you may find yourself wondering what other small businesses are doing to mitigate the fallout from the COVID-19 crisis.

I’m happy to put these regular sales and marketing related articles out each week, but this week’s news is tough! I feel like an amateur epidemiologist and know more about some Korean testing startups than I care to, so it was hard to find selling news with a positive bent. What we ended up with are articles focused on the future and what’s to come after the crisis recedes. There’s a note on how to sell now, the pressures in online grocery shopping, trouble with IDs online and masks. Always comes back to fashion, right? Enjoy, and I hope you’re staying safe!

In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, small business owners are understandably spending the majority of their time working to keep their business up and running while making sure that their employees remain focused on their jobs in sometimes non-traditional work spaces. It also is why coming up with a plan for when the crisis passes probably isn’t even a blimp on their radar right now.
