How to Pivot and Plan Events in an Online Climate
Posted by Steven Borders
The coronavirus pandemic has forced the world to make some giant adjustments. Adjusting has become so common that the word "pivot" has come to describe the actions that people are taking to respond to the impacts of social distancing and stay-at-home orders.
Depending on the level of restrictions in your area, the manner in which you may need to pivot might look a little different. We're here to offer some general suggestions and guidelines on ways that you can pivot and still make an impact with online sign ups.
Schools
If you are a teacher, you are likely conducting a lot of online meetings. Whether you are scheduling check-ins or small group learning sessions, it can be difficult to manage all the appointments. Fortunately, online sign ups are an easy way to manage all your virtual meetings.
Simply create time slots that list available meeting times and share the sign up link with your group. Our new integration with Zoom allows for your online meeting location to be added as well. We have even created a helpful guide for scheduling video conferences with online sign ups.
Genius Tip: Create custom sign up confirmations to email the video call information or online meeting link to participants once they sign up.
Friends and Family
There are all sorts of ways that families can connect during this time. But how do you celebrate events, such as graduations or birthdays, when you must maintain social distancing? Answer: with a little creativity!
For example, create a series of gift deliveries for a birthday so that gifts or cards get dropped off on the porch at regular points in time throughout the day. That way, the birthday boy or girl can be showered with gifts throughout the day and feel loved and celebrated by so many. It's guaranteed to be a memorable birthday.
