The Shift showcases real-life stories from companies across the globe about how they tackled this challenge. For example, Lavender, a newly launched telehealth company, had to make a dramatic pivot to their entire business which was due to launch at the beginning of the pandemic.
Brighid Gannon, Co-Founder at Lavender said, “As a business that had to pivot and quickly get off the ground, we knew we needed experts to not only help bring us online but also help us increase our online traffic to reach new clients.
“Once we incorporated our new SEO strategy with the help of Fiverr freelancers, the results spoke for themselves. From May to June of 2020, Lavender saw a 400% growth in client bookings, which we hoped would hold into the next month. In July, Lavender grew 500%. More and more patients are saying they found us online, so our SEO is definitely working.”
Rooted, a direct-to-consumer indoor plant company, was forced to shut down its retail locations and sell their products exclusively online. Fiverr freelance talent, including a Shopify web developer, UX specialist and illustrator, helped Rooted introduce a dynamic new “Find Your Plant” quiz to their site, a lead generation tool to help prospects find the right products. Rooted’s e-commerce site, which accounted for 10% of their revenue before the pandemic, now accounts for all of the company’s sales.
