Put into action the things you always say you want to do but never had the time to fully plan out. This is a great opportunity to fine-tune the following features of your company’s visibility and promotion strategy:
– Refresh your Brand Identity - Perhaps your brand has been in the market for a few years and it looks a bit outdated? Maybe the logo wasn’t quite right the first time. Either way, simply giving your business and its market-face a makeover can update and renew your identity in the marketplace, doing wonders for your business.
- Corporate Website – Well, this is exactly the time to revisit the corporate site and make sure that your company is well presented, ensuring that it contains the right marketing messages with the right call for action.
– SEO – Check your current website organic search rankings and optimize them for search engines to improve the quality and quantity of your web traffic
– Refresh Marketing materials – Get an upgraded design for your corporate presentations, brochures and other marketing materials to showcase your Brand and Business better
– Social media engagement – Strategize how you can improve social media engagement and writing new case studies, white papers and professional articles.
Now is not the time to stop marketing efforts, it’s the time for you to be even more strategic in implementing them! Remember, ramping up your online presence doesn’t require face-to-face interactions.
- Branding campaigns: These will highlight what separates you from your competition. These campaigns can help your target audience to remember your brand, which is followed by gaining their trust, which leads to conversion.
- Custom email campaigns: During times like this, people want to be informed and they want transparency — a custom email campaign can do both! Use this time wisely to build real relationships with your potential customers and convert them into a paying customer. Email marketing is a great way to do just that.
- Social Media Marketing: People are spending more time online now, more than ever, scrolling through social media for information, interaction and entertainment. Put your brand in front of where your target audience is already glued to, so that when they are ready to purchase, they purchase from you and not your competitors.
