5 Great Marketing Tips to consider:
Traffic on Google and Facebook is changing drastically. Did you know that Facebook activity is UP 200%? Now is not the time to let your social media presence drop! Of course, this is due to the new "normal" that we call Social Distancing. However, at the same time, most businesses feel like they are being tested, and are struggling to stay open.
Do you feel like you are being tested? Some tests inspire good changes and learning opportunities; others can really destroy the business, and/or affect us emotionally hard. Depending on the type of business you have, the Corona Virus is really testing your business! You are now either sinking or swimming. Here are some tips to help you swim better during this rough patch.
Stay Present and Relative on Social Media!
Now is not the time to slink away from social media as a business. People are extending their screen time right now. They are looking for community connections on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. Make sure you are doing just as much as you were before, if not more. It might even be a good time to get current if you really have not already. Make sure your business has a few profiles and create one or even two posts daily. Interact with your followers. Interact with other businesses. Do not avoid the situation at hand in your posts, even though it is exhausting.
Everyone can relate to the current state. Become your business's Essential Marketing Person, and make the most of it. Avoid dwelling on the negatives. Instead, give some silver linings. Tell a joke or two. Potential and existing clients will appreciate it and hopefully remember you when they need to.
Update Your Business’s Status EVERYWHERE
If you find it frustrating ordering carryout because you cannot figure out which businesses are open, you are not alone. Do not make your customers research. Make sure you update your Google My Business, Website, Social Media, etc. with pertinent information such as updated hours.
Put out an extra big statement that you are open! A lot of businesses are getting passed up just because people automatically think most places are closed. People still need their furnaces repaired, the grass cut and carpets cleaned. Let them know your services are available.
