Post-Pandemic Digital Marketing Tips for Your Business

Pandemic marketing. The ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has adversely affected many businesses from all over the world.

The ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has adversely affected many businesses from all over the world. Some countries imposed cessations and lockdowns for several months to prevent the spread of the virus. This caused a decrease in certain goods and services that forced many enterprises to close their operations. But, some countries have started lifting restrictions and entrepreneurs are reviewing their marketing strategies.

It has become increasingly challenging to meet new customer needs (or you wouldn’t be reading this right now), and you must think about how you can do so with the limited resources you have available to you due to social distancing. Organizations, especially e-commerce, are being buried with online orders while trying to ensure the health of employees, they don’t run out of stock, and other worries we all have. It has never been more important than now to leverage technology, whether that be online orders, utilizing your CRM tool for customer retention, lead generation tools, or chat functions. Ensuring every customer’s needs are met and the experience is what is expected is what your goal should be with every individual customer you encounter.

The following are post-pandemic digital marketing tips that will help you increase your sales.

Create a Free High-Quality Content

It may be hard for such businesses to sell products during this time. That’s why they should focus on providing free (or at a very low price) educational, inspiring, high-quality content. Of course, these should be in line with each business’ knowledge and experience.

What I have in mind here is creating virtual products, something which will be easily available for your audience (clients) but at the same time will bring them value. Ebooks, podcasts, webinars, tutorials… There is so much you can offer them. Of course, in such virtual products, you can market your products, and it would be a really natural way of doing so.

It won’t bring you income at this time, but it will make users attached to your brand and will make them feel that you not only care about selling your products to them but also about their well-being. And that you are understanding and know what their current situation is. When the situation will be back to normal, there is a high chance that these clients will be coming back to you as well.

Expand Your Market and/or Product Base

Imagine that you are a startup. You don’t have many, or even any, customers and you have to find someone who will buy what you have to sell.

Many small businesses are in a version of this right now. Their regular client base, who they may have had for years, is not there in the numbers that they have been. In a startup, you would look to pivot to something different that is based on the skills you have developed with what you are doing now.

For many small businesses, a variant of this is what is needed now. Your regular clients will likely return at some time in the future. Unfortunately, that could be a year or two away. In order to survive until then, look to the startup ideas and make some pivots. Some obvious ones are sit-down restaurants that have gone to takeout service. They are doing what they do, cooking food, and selling it through different channels. Most businesses, with a little thought, can think of different avenues to sell their products.

That may not be enough. So, just as a startup would do, look to expand your market and/or product base. There are a lot of ways to do this.

Keep in Touch with Existing Clients

I feel that keeping in touch with your customers is really important — whether they buy from you right now or not. Looking around, most companies have cut back, or even completely stopped, their marketing.

Big mistake…

As the saying goes, “Out of sight, out of mind.”

Your customers may not be buying from you right now, but that doesn’t mean that you should disappear from their radar.

Because eventually, the economy will bounce back. And people’s buying power will strengthen. And guess who will they be buying from then?

The companies who stayed top of mind, and who kept building the relationship.

Some people, justified or not, are really afraid right now. Afraid of going out in public, afraid of other people, really.
Is there any way to make them feel safer around you?

Aside from loading them up with sanitizer every time they come within close vicinity with your business, and wearing face masks that make one feel as if we live in a plague-contaminated zone…

Can they shop with you online, or over the phone? Can you deliver to them?

You know your business better than anyone. Figure out a way to keep going.
