It’s no secret that COVID-19 has forced most salon owners to reevaluate their strategies and transform the way they operate. In the age of social distancing, salons were faced with a choice – migrate and optimise their existing operations online or risk losing their businesses entirely.
Enter Fiverr, the online marketplace for freelance services. The service provider is known as the place you can get flyers, presentations or even business cards created for as littler as five dollars. Hence its name.
And now, Fiverr has launched The Shift, a new web experience offering small business owners essential resources, inspiring content, and guides for those looking to take their business online for the first time, or optimise their existing online presence.
This launch comes on the back of research recently undertaken by Fiverr, which revealed that 66% of Australian small businesses have suffered a financial loss as a result of the pandemic, with losses for those affected exceeding $10,00 for three in four (80%), and exceeding $100,000 for one in five (26%).
“Businesses everywhere are grappling with the pandemic’s impact, and the thought of having to completely reinvent themselves online can feel like a daunting experience,” said Gali Arnon, Chief Marketing Officer at Fiverr. “As a company that has served the needs of small businesses for over ten years, we are in a unique position to help. Regardless of their industry, size or budget, our platform has the services and the talent they need to ensure their digital presence is just as authentic and distinct as their offline brand. Our goal is to provide them with the tools and resources they need to come out on the other side of this pandemic better and stronger.”
Completely new and unique to Fiverr is an innovative website developer matching experience. This intuitive tool connects a business with a freelancer specialising in web design and development. For those who are new to creating a website, the matched talent will act as a guiding force throughout the process. It is a new, high-touch approach helping first-timers bring their online presence to life.
In addition, every month Fiverr is awarding three businesses across the globe a $1,000 USD (approximately AUD $1,400) in Fiverr credit to help support their digital needs, with the aim too assist them to improve their existing websites, social content, or adding e-commerce features to their sites.
