This is the case for most businesses now after the pandemic and because of the looming recession. Costs of production have almost doubled, but people have less money to pay for goods. How can a business grow in these poor economic conditions?

I can feel your sentiment. I had also seen in my city that some businesses were closed down. It seems that they cannot wait to progress more after this pandemic.

People need to eat so by all means they have to produce an amount to survive. That business will surely grow thru accumulated sales from people.

Like they say, when you are in rome, behave like does in rome. I think the best thing to do is to take your time in understanding the economy, take surveys on does who already have businesses there and see how they operate.

You can always look for ways to get incentives and grants from families and government if it's possible because that's the only way to improve your business.

That depends on the products you sell. These days, all cold tablets are sold out or are sold at an incredibly high price. With the lifting of Covid related restrictions in almost all countries, many businesses such as restaurants and travel agencies are gearing up to getting their business back on track. Some offer discounts or special deals to attract customers.

It will be very difficult to grow a business in a poor economic condition but if you embark on serious marketing campaign, the business can still strive a little.

Sell only products in your business that most people need. That is how your business grows despite being in a poor situation. It will gradually grow as days go by because of the people's needs that are found in your business.

First of all, you have to understand the level you should operate in relation to the state of the economy. It is better to sell out and people can't get than to have surplus stock that you can't sell. You can then increase steadily as the economy permists.
