Following the removal of Portugal from the UKโs green list for travel, the government has pushed back the date for the easing of lockdown by four weeks.
That date in the diary, 21st June, needs to be scribbled out and a note needs to be made next to 19th July. Maybe in pencil this time.
But kicking the can down the road just increases that pent-up demand.
Think about itโฆ Itโs another four weeks where thereโs still a higher level of restrictions and there are some things you still canโt do.
What does that mean?
Everyone wants to do them EVEN MORE.
And when the time comes, that pent-up demand is going to hit like a tidal wave.
So, the question isโฆ
Is your business ready to cope with the pent-up demand?!
Your staff are ready, youโve got the business plan prepped, your strategy is sorted, and you might have even plotted out your marketing activity over the next few months.
But what about your mobile signal?
Itโs one of the most overlooked aspects of any business. Over the last year and a bit, itโs become even more overlooked too.
Because so many people have been working from home, and still are, you havenโt had to think about it.
Sure, your WiFi might be good, but howโs the mobile signal?
Even if itโs poor, you might not have given it much thought. Because you donโt really need it, youโve got WiFi, youโre all connected and itโs no major issue.
But what if you miss a call?
What if youโve got clients visiting?
What if your signal drops mid-call?
If youโve not had clients in the building for a while, the issue might have dropped off your radar entirely.
But it could be immensely frustrating if they need to make a call โ or take a call โ and they canโt because the signal is naff.
Think about the nature of your business...
Are you a client-focused business?
Do relationships with clients really matter to you?
Do you know how your customers feel about the poor quality of mobile signal?
The poor signal might not affect you too badly but think about what matters to your customers.
If your business prides itself on relationships with clients, then youโve got to make your offices a place where people want to come.
If a prospective client arrives for the day and you have to tell them that they wonโt be able to take any calls in the office, itโs not the best first impression.
You might not even know that itโs an issue, but believe me, your clients will.
The moment they get that little red exclamation mark next to their message and the โmessage failed to sendโ icon pops up, theyโll know.
Poor mobile phone signal can present all kinds of problems for modern businesses.
So, what can you do to make sure your business is ready for the pent-up demand?!
The first thing is โ if youโve got an issue, act now.
Mobile signal boosters could provide you with the solution you need to keep your business moving.
But what are they?
A mobile signal booster will take the mobile signal that surrounds your building and bring it inside, distributing it throughout the building to significantly improve the mobile signal.
But are they legal?
Yep. 100%.
In April 2018, Ofcom, the UKโs communications regulator, enforced new regulations that allow you to use specific mobile signal repeaters without the need for a licence.
And we ONLY use boosters that comply with Ofcomโs regulations as per the Wireless Telegraphy (Mobile Repeater) (Exemption) Regulations 2018 stipulations.
All our boosters are classified as static mobile phone repeaters for indoor use, and theyโre perfect for commercial buildings with poor signal!
So, if youโre planning ahead for a busy summer, maybe nowโs the right time to finally get that mobile signal issue sorted?
If so, hereโs how it worksโฆ
The very first thing weโll do is get to know exactly what your requirements are as we find out the extent of your signal woes.
From there we can then carry out a remote desktop survey before we conduct an on-site survey to confirm that the solution, weโre proposing is the right one for you.
Plus, thatโll make sure that thereโs nothing else that could be causing issues!
Once weโve taken all the readings, measurements, and got everything we need to proceed, we can get on with the installation.
We aim to begin every job within 4 weeks, and weโll keep you up to date throughout, so youโll know when you can finally send a text message at the first time of asking!
After installation, weโll come out to you and carry out quality checks โ just to make sure everythingโs all good.
Weโll run some further signal tests, so we know that youโve got the maximum signal strength possible, and thatโs that.
Youโre all ready for the pent-up demand โ another box ticked off and youโre all set.
If you want to make sure youโre ready for the pent-up demand to strike, donโt hesitate to get in touch.
Give us a call on 020 3823 7365 and we can talk signal boosters.
