What used to be our strategy at that time? Online marketing/surveying! Can’t we do the same now for the rest of our processes as well? Of course we can. A general survey or a questionnaire can help us understand better the needs and demands of the customer now. Why now, because the priorities have changed. Those who were earlier manufacturing spare parts for automobiles are now manufacturing ventilators. It is just the matter of fact that what used to be considered as necessity is now luxury and being replaced with the more essential things right now.
