Construction Support Series (1 of 2): Power of Staying Connected
Is your business impacted by a construction project? Join the Construction Support series to learn practical tools you can use immediately to prepare your business and customers while supporting infrastructure development and revitalization in our City.
How do you keep customers coming back when access is confusing?
See if this feels familiar:
• Customers say they didn’t know how to get to you
• People assume you’re closed because the street looks messy
• Social posts feel like they disappear into the void
• You’re not sure what to say — or how often to say it
If that’s you, you’re not alone. Customers want to support you, they just need clarity and reassurance.
Power of Staying Connected, this virtual, interactive webinar, shows you how to keep customers informed, confident, and coming back with clear, consistent, low?effort communication. You’ll learn how to craft simple updates, choose the right channels, and make small visibility tweaks that remind people you’re still open and worth the trip. You’ll leave with ready?to?use customer messages, a weekly communication rhythm, and a visibility plan that fits into a busy day.
The Construction Support series consists of 2 workshops. You can register for the Power of Being Prepared on Tuesday, June 9 at 1 pm , where you will build a readiness checklist for your business.
