In 2019, the global pandemic and the resulting economic downturn resulted in feelings of stress and fear. Many businesses have been knocked down by COVID-19. Mass layoffs and closures had already occurred - just a few weeks into the crisis. The biggest risk of closure was negatively associated with the expected length of the crisis. Businesses had widely varying beliefs about the likely duration of COVID-related disruptions.
In addition to its impact on public health, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a major economic shock.
Some businesses with a good reputation and responsible internet presence not only have survived the crisis, but even been pushed the forward. However, a negative or erroneous perception on the internet can stagnate growth and immediately compromise your sales and marketing efforts. It can also scare away a lot of new customers or cause the perfect candidate to apply to a competitor. Despite the importance of reputation management, all business leaders must communicate the importance of operationalize it into a key performance indicator.
Hence, your digital presence and reputation is no longer important, it’s critical. Are you active on all the social media platforms linked to from your business website? Is the branding and voice at your social media profiles consistent with your business website? Things will never return to “the way they were,” and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Promote your content via social as if it’s new. Things need to change, and those most adaptable will survive. Now’s the time to put your plan into place. Business as usual isn’t an option.
As a content writer I believe that creating new content over rehabbing old content is strictly a bold business decision! We are in economically exceptional times. Yesterday's stable environment, suddenly is in doubt. Uncertain times and situations like these require far-reaching decisions.
But, how do you deal effectively with such a situation and ensure that the decisions you make are supported by everyone? This is how you do it together.
There are two ways to act when there are radical decisions to be made - you can make the decision for people, or you can make the decision with people.
Decisions that you make together will automatically generate more empathy and be supported by customer's and also your employees, i.e., by everyone you know of. Whether that means more dollars and cents from your existing social presence or amping up your reach with new followers is totally up to you.
What matters is that you set realistic goals. Never run out of inspiration! If you’d like some help in charting your course during this storm, or you need outside help with a digital audit, I'm here to help you.
