The COVID-19 virus is creating a unique and unprecedented situation for small business owners. In Western Australia, the full impact is yet to be seen, so now is the time to start protecting your business and your future viability.

But what can you do when you have no physical customers? What is the concept of fear; and managing a crisis communication plan? How can you move your workforce from office to working from home?

To help you navigate this uncharted territory, we have brought together some of our top digital experts in a series of online forums. Register for one, or for all, as the situation continually unfolds and changes.

In each session, four experts will deliver an overview on a topic related to managing your business through the COVID19 situation and will then open the forum for you to ask questions specifically related to your business.

Best practice, easy-to-implement solutions and updates on COVID19 strategy will be the main focus through ASBAS Digital Solutions.

In this session, you can learn about:

• top things to include in a Management Plan for your business to actively manage the risks due to the Corona virus
• making a COVID 19 Business Continuity Plan
• the power of a digital declutter during the downtime - how to get your storage under control and conduct a content audit.
• During tough times, how to utilise Instagram marketing (how to grow organically)

To help ensure you receive the most relevant information and have your questions answered, if you have any initial questions about the above topics you would like covered, feel free to email them before the session to asbas@businessstation.com.au

This COVID-19 Online Business Forum is brought to you by Business Station and AusIndustry under the ASBAS Digital Solutions Program.
