Businesses with brick and mortar store can reach such customers if they set up the online store. Moreover, the Coronavirus pandemic has brought significant changes in E-commerce customer engagement. Customers now expect more personalized and empathetic communication from businesses, with an emphasis on safety and hygiene measures.
Magento 2 being a popular platform for the online store setup, the certified and expert Magento developers at Meetanshi help businesses set an online store within a short time at lower rates.
Not only this, but Meetanshi also offered free “Get Your Business Online” service to seven selected customers who need it the most!.

Shifted the entire team and set up for remote working
While we care about the customers and community, our very own Mit Crew is no less of a community. Certain steps are taken during the pandemic for the safety of our team members and balanced mental health.
One of them was shifting our desks home for leveraging the work from home facility. We had never experienced the work from home scenario till now but the team made sure that this remarkable change would not affect the productivity of employees.
The team was well equipped with tools that would help them communicate with the team members, manage their tasks, and grow their skills! You’d also love to read our tips for managing remote employees.

Implemented a “Photos at 4” activity
Meetanshi believes that it is not enough to ensure the productivity but also the mental health and communication among the team.
As a part of it. we carried out a “Photos at 4” activity under which a theme was decided each day. At 4 pm, the team members would share a picture according to the theme with the entire team.
This activity encouraged communication among the remote working team members, refreshed them to work with better enthusiasm, and helped us know each better.
Some of the themes were sharing a picture of their favourite quarantine snack, a picture of their dream vacation, a picture reflecting their childhood memory, etc.
A wave of nostalgia 🧡 as Mit Crew shared their favourite childhood 👶 memory for today’s “Photos at 4” theme! 🚀#workfromhomelife #QuarantineDiaries #StayHome pic.twitter.com/Pp6J71B7V5
