Marketing Savvy in Times of Crisis.

Okay, we’re facing it. There’s no ignoring the way that the current Coronavirus is impacting almost every facet of almost everybody’s world—including that of your business. Many are wondering if they should stay their marketing course as we chart waters, that frankly, none of us has ever seen before. Though there are many issues to consider, the short answer—many experts contend the ONLY answer—is: Yes.

Everyone acknowledges that this has quickly become a worldwide crisis, one that has already affected all of us, to at least some degree. In going forward, the challenge for your business is to reassess your business, and revisit its goals. Whether you deal in necessities or so-called “luxury” items—and because no one can know how long this crisis will endure—it’s important to keep front of mind that your primary focus should always remain: Service.

Every Marketing Professional has an opinion on how best to maintain your business presence, but most experts seem to agree on key elements:

1) STAY ON TOP OF THE SITUATION
Do your best to not avoid the topic, but refrain from over-dramatizing. Don’t merely alter existing materials, but rather craft new approaches specific to developments, staying aware of the fact that those are likely to evolve quickly. Take care to make sure it does not appear you’re trying to capitalize on the situation to advance the personal interests of your company. Be sincere.

Consider offering “freebies” to keep your customer base engaged.

2) KEEP YOUR MESSAGES INFORMATIVE
In troubling times, audiences especially appreciate being reassured. Reinforce to your customers how you can continue to help them, especially now. By all means, resist inducing anything that smacks of panic; rather, post messages that promote community, hope, and as much good feeling as you can muster.

Admittedly, most of these suggestions are business practices you should have been using all along, it’s just that they assume added importance now.

3) PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR REPORTS
Redouble your efforts to monitor your data collection sources. Compare your information from period to period to see which approaches are working—and those that might require additional attention to make sure your message continues to come across in the best way possible.

Like any savvy marketer, you probably already pay attention to your feedback. But it’s more vital now than ever before to monitor customer comments diligently, to respond promptly and thoroughly, and, where appropriate, to engage interaction that might give you clues on how to deliver even better service/product.
