The coronavirus pandemic has affected so many small businesses and franchises during the year of 2020 in a variety of ways. Today we are joined by Danielle Carreau Mikolay, the owner of The Little Gym of Roxbury in Ledgewood, New Jersey to talk about her work as a franchise owner and what this uncertain period has been like for their kids' gym. When her husband first suggested the idea of running a branch of The Little Gym, it seemed like a crazy idea to Danielle, but as she explains, after some marination and a moment of realization, she found herself in love with the idea. We chat about the lessons her children can learn witnessing the running of a business, how she balances work at the gym with the responsibilities of being a mother, and of course, we get into the changes that have happened in this strange year. From outdoor classes to online events, The Little Gym of Roxbury has had to make serious adjustments in order to keep serving and stay afloat. Listen in with us today for this great conversation!

#23 Running a Kids’ Gym During the Pandemic with Danielle Carreau Mikolay

Today’s episode was supposed to feature a guest, however, due to COVID-19, we were having some difficulties getting that going. So instead, for this episode, Morgan decided to take what she had planned for the intended guest and asked a couple of college students how they feel about social media, what types of marketing affects them and what they’re buying right now, and we review some of the data she collected. One of the biggest questions Morgan wanted to know was “How do companies gain loyalty?” Especially because Gen-Z is the biggest market at this time and a target you definitely want your business to focus on when thinking about marketing. They’ll be the ones to take over the economy one day, so you want to get started on building up your brand loyalty right now. Stay tuned for today’s episode to see the results of Morgan’s research and how you can apply it to your company today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
