Focus on promoting your brand not by posting sales-oriented content but by reaching out to them using your social media platforms. Most people are relying on social media now to create and illusion of staying connected in an unexpected state of global isolation.

Make use of your pages to connect people to resources like food banks and other such essential information could be of use to them. Using your page to spread the word about ways to stay safe, the necessary precautions to take, etc. will show the audience that you are looking out for them and providing them help at these times of crisis.


  • Optimizing Your Online Presence

 Aim to be on the first page of Google Search Engine Page Results. This way, when customers look for certain keywords they will be directed immediately to you. This requires you to continuously optimize your content in order to prevent losing potential revenue.

 

  • Restructure Prices

That being said, if you can switch to the Software-as-a-Service model, you will not find a better opportunity than now. SaaS products or cloud based services are more likely to be a successful strategy during a crisis due to lower costs.


  • Be Wary of What You Share

Social Media often has a lot of inaccurate information which can be dangerous and sharing them with your audience can cause a lot of damage to your hard-earned reputation. Especially in times of a crisis, passing around false information related to cures and vaccines of the virus can result in very unfortunate circumstances.

Planning out your strategy and confirming the authenticity of facts prior to posting content can ensure that such circumstances don’t come to pass. Make sure you use information provided by reliable resources.


  • Prepare for Various Post-Crisis Scenarios

It’s difficult to predict when this pandemic will last or how long will the economy stay in such bad shape. Due to this, you must be prepared for every possible outcome of what lies ahead.

Anticipate what problems and questions your audience will have in various post-pandemic situations. Create a list of topics and ideas that can be shared as when the crisis starts to ease up. This way, whichever circumstance seem to take place, you will be prepared to deal with it in the most effective way possible.
