Written by Katie Conroy. Now that many of us are aware of and have been accustomed to remote working, the way home offices are presented to clients. Indeed, it is sure to look different from days gone by because we’ve had to take certain preventative measures to ensure everyone stays safe and healthy in light of Covid. But suppose your home office isn’t a place you’re feeling confident about hosting your next meeting in, Reasonable Realtor shows you how to give it a bit of sprucing up for in-person and virtual visits.
Make sure your HVAC system is fully functional
One of the things you can do to ensure the air circulates nicely through your home office is to test that your HVAC system works optimally. This means that your air filters should be cleaned regularly, and your unit is maintained often to ensure that the air is being filtered appropriately. Additionally, you could also consider having a UV light installed in your HVAC system, as this has been proven to kill germs and certain airborne viruses that may be present in the air.
Let fresh air circulate
In addition to having your HVAC system working optimally, it is also a great idea to have additional sources of fresh air circulating in and through your home office. So if you have an extra fan or two, be sure to leave these running as much as possible. Also, be sure to leave any doors and windows open so that fresh air is continuously flowing in and through your office space.
Masks are still necessary
If you’re hosting in-person meetings, then implementing mandatory mask-wearing is still an excellent safety measure to prevent the spread of the disease.
Minimizing contact
Of course, we should still be practicing social distancing even now. Easy ways to implement social distancing when clients come around include paperless invoicing and payment methods to minimize contact between your clients and your electronic devices. Such features could include contactless invoicing, tap-and-go payments, digital signature methods, and more.
Going digital can also be a way to increase brand awareness by using customizable invoice templates that you can design with your business logo using a label maker. You can also add your own color theme and other important information that you deem necessary to your invoice template. It’s all these seemingly small details that can make your brand more recognizable.
Making a good impression
As far as presenting a professional home office goes, you’re likely going to need to pay special attention to the correct lighting to use for virtual meetings, making sure your office space looks clean and organized with not a hint of clutter visible to detract from the professionalism of the meeting.
A new way of doing things
In summary, virtual and in-person meetings from home are going to become more commonplace as the world switches to remote working. And as exciting as this may be, it’s essential to not lose sight of the fact of what brought us to this place. Therefore, adapting the way we do business in order to accommodate these changes is going to be vital if we want to keep the wheels turning and keep our businesses running despite the strange circumstances we find ourselves in.
