Core business pivoting in time!
When should a business pivot π
When a product or service turns redundant
When a product or service isn't the trend
When a product or service is obsolete
Then it's time to shift the focus
Let me set an example for this post-pandemic scenario π
Let's take the tourism industry, it's an open secret that the tourism industry is poised for a makeover in its approach to vacations
Tourists are fast evolving as travellers and their preferences of destinations, mode of travel, stay facilities, recreation, stay times etc are changing for good
Connecting with nature, the local flora & fauna, learning the history, heritage, outdoor stays and such are trending
Families are taking to camper/motor vans, caravans and RV modes of travel
Destination tourist centres are refocussing on glamping and pods as alternate accommodations
Imagine a person with a deep pocket who opts to venture into a chain of run-down type hotels at the major tourist destinations during this post the pandemic times
That person is sure to empty the pockets near soon, this is the time to pivot in the tourism industry as the core business is shifting from a tourist to a traveller
The pandemic enlightened and escalated the online opportunities, those offline businesses which adapted to online platforms will survive
Remaining ignorant of online trending and sticking around adamantly with only offline will surely teach the importance of the timely
Pivoting from core business ππΌ
