This week has been full of unexpected twists and turns. At Medley, we are simultaneously facing the reality of client event changes and new ways to tell stories while also creating plans to adapt as quickly as possible. We wanted to take a moment to share some tips and best practices on using technology to during this time of crisis:

For Business Owners:

-Host virtual events- Zoom allows you to have up to 100 users on at once. Take your large event or conference online to buy your attendees peace of mind.

-Look into online fundraising- For nonprofits having to cancel your spring event, now is a great time to promote your mission online and raise funds.

-Update your website- Now is a great time to make sure your website is up-to-date and easy to navigate for online sales, as most transactions will start to occur digitally.

For Life:

-Order in- Minimize interactions with other by having your meals delivered through apps like Uber Eats, and explore alternative ways to get your home essentials, like utilizing Kroger's delivery or pickup service.

-Look into other service delivery options- CVS announced this week that they'll deliver pharmacy prescriptions to customers at no cost.

-Use group chats- It's also a great time to teach our elders to use technology to stay in touch by using advanced apps like GroupMe for family communicating and sharing updates.
