#1...
"Made in the U.S.A" is going to be more important than ever.
18 months ago I paid 100% more for a gi to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu because they were 100% made in the U.S.A.
Manufacturing WILL be returning to our borders NOW!
Smart manufacturers will want to get ahead of the curve.
Now is the time to gobble up market share.
They will want to get the word out.
They will need to leverage video to do so.
Videos of their facilities.
Videos of their staff.
Videos of their smiling customers.
Videos of their awards and certifications.
Videos of their safety procedures.
Videos of their quality control.
Videos that tell their origin story.
As a videographer, you are not competing with the award-winning mega-firm from New York City or the Oscar-nominated Hollywood crew.
Right now you're only competing with the local yocals, who can't hold a candle to you.
So, search the news for press releases, stories, and even job boards that say "we're hiring" and reach out to those companies.
Pitch them a sweetheart deal (because you're going for market share, too.)
But tell them they have to act now.
Put a "must-decide-by" fuse on that thing of 72 hours, tops.

Find a yoga/pilates/fitness/diet trainer/coach (maybe one male, one female in each category) and say...
"Hey, are people afraid to come see you or have you come to them? Ever wanted to make a video course you could sell? I can help you map it out, direct, record, edit, and produce your first program (or additional program) right now."
"As an added bonus, imagine looking back 6 months, 6 years, 20 years from now and telling prospects who are sitting on the fence, whining and complaining that 'Now's not a good time,' 'LISTEN UP, CHUMP! When the world was hunkering down in 2020 I was moving ahead like the boss that I am and I’ll show you how to be one as well. So to hell with your excuses! Click ‘Add to cart’ now and let’s get to work!'"
Again, give them a sweet deal with a short fuse and tell them once travel is back to normal you'll be back in your normal routine and they'll pay 5x more and wait twice as long to get this done.
More ideas for more industries coming soon.
Stand by...and wash your hands.
Market like you mean it.
Now go sell something.
