As we move into quarter two of the year, it’s evident that businesses in New Zealand are bracing themselves for the possibility of an uphill battle. The economic hangover from the Covid-19 pandemic is expected to still linger, casting a shadow of uncertainty over households and businesses alike. According to Newsroom, the pace of cost increases may be slowing, but factors such as mortgage bills, strained farmer cashflows, and a deteriorating labour market all point to continued spending restraint.

In times like these, it’s essential to acknowledge the challenges we face while also recognising our inherent Kiwi spirit of resilience and resourcefulness. As the saying goes, “We’re in the dark part of the economic cycle but, like any cycle, it will turn.”

Here are some key strategies to make the most of this year:

Housekeeping matters

Take this opportunity to review and update your customer or prospect lists. Ensure your databases are up to date and well-maintained to avoid wasting precious marketing funds on outdated or inaccurate information.

Embrace innovation

In challenging times, innovation is your greatest ally. Think outside the box and explore new ways to adapt your business to meet the evolving needs of the market. Whether it’s pivoting your offerings, exploring new revenue streams, or leveraging technology, now is the time to reinvent and innovate.

Remember, a diamond is just a chunk of coal that did well under pressure. Keep pushing through with initiatives that work for your business. Maintain open communication with your customers, seek out new opportunities, and stay agile in your approach.
