Social media experiences in pandemic times

The Hub Mentors ‘Moving your Business Online’ series comes to end next Tuesday 19 May, as they are holding the last webinar of the series. On this occasion, they will speak about digital marketing and, specifically, about how social media can be an instrumental tool to keep contact with your customer base in these changeable times; or even to increase it.

The dramatic impact on physical sales caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences in the form of lockdown measures have led many companies to a swift change in the ways they were traditionally operating, including the way they reach, attract and interact with their clients.

During these times of confinement and isolation, it’s more important than ever to stay top-of-mind with clients and prospects, reminding them about their previous shopping experiences with us, the differential factors that make our business stand out from the crowd, the aspirational elements of our brand, our unbeatable customer service, etc.

Only by doing this, we will be in the best position to successfully resume our relationship with customers once the lockdown measures are, at least partially, lifted.

We can also take this opportunity to reflect on our approach to both current and prospective clients, and implement digital marketing tools to reach a wider audience, including Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), email marketing, content creation… and social media, which will be the focus of this panel session.

When:

Tuesday 19 May at 11 AM.
