The Corona Outbreak and the unique challenges it brings is forging changes in the world for years to come. If we stop a moment and put health issues aside, the world is experiencing the biggest economic downturn of mankind as we know it in history. Many Companies and Businesses did not survive the initial period, and those that have will unfortunately be trying to repair the damage for years to come. The advertising cost of marketing & sales were depleted in order to keep the cash-flow steady. In this emergency state, marketing strategy has become more aggressive, but also far more creative, as the goal is clear: to continue to create interest and continue to broadcast the ‘business as usual’ tone.

Endearing yourself to your Audience

This period of time is extremely sensitive for everyone. A complete world is in fear for their loved ones, in times like these, the traditional marketing is a little less relevant. Who is in the mood to go out on a shopping spree when the world is clouded in such big uncertainty?

This is exactly the time to come down to the masses and communicate eye-to-eye, even to build a community from which to begin an exchange of opinions. Ask the questions, and get the ball rolling in order to draw them nearer. And in the spirit of the time – maybe it’s time to be more personal – to reveal yourself, what you’re feeling. After all, we’re all going through this together. On the other hand, don’t be afraid to be light and to try to keep an optimistic point of view.

Continuity helps brand awareness even in times when customers cannot afford to buy products, but will also enable them to respond thereby enabling future projection for ‘the day after’. Additionally, developing ideas, asking questions, speaking of relevant subjects and making requests for feedback, such as sending a video in a newsletter and requesting talkback.
