support through social media. "
He added that Evans' page ranks
are up, and its social media content
has significantly improved. The results
are more leads and more sales.
Monthly meetings with the marketing
company help gauge what is
and is not working and set short- and
long-term goals.
TURNING THE TIDE
" I can't tell you as we sit here this day
in June that I have all the answers. But
I have the questions that locations are
starting to ask for services and products
in our space...but outside the realm
of what we did, " he said. " We have to
answer and provide solutions no matter
what it is, but I don't know what that is
now. Their questions will guide us. "
He emphasized that all great
sports figures and businesspeople
from George Foreman and Mohammad
Ali to Tom Brady and Lee Ioccoca
have reinvented themselves to
come back from adversity.
With 2020's pandemic challenges
rippling from the shutdown easing,
2021's biggest challenges are labor
shortages and supply chain issues,
Evans thinks.
" I need more labor - techs, drivers,
warehouse, sales, pickers -- after having
to lay off employees at the beginning, "
he said. " It's a sign that things are coming
back, but it's a challenge the whole
country in every industry is facing. "
One thing he's sure of is a comeback
is under way.
" I love this industry and the people
in it and we're coming back. It will be
different and smaller, but the people
who survive will be stronger than ever, "
Evans concluded. " It's a positive move
forward for the industry and country
as we get back to our lives and work. " ■
