With nations all around the globe relaxing the restrictions in their individual states, businesses have started to get back on their feet but there is still economic uncertainty. Potential buyers and even loyal customers are still hesitating to buy. Most of the nations have been in quarantine for the last few months. This had led to a huge surge in the number of internet users. Now more than ever, people are using the internet for things they want to know, learn or buy. Because of this shift, business owners are now forced to re-invent their strategies, especially Digital Strategies, and take a second look at how they should navigate the business.

Speaking of which takes us to the next discussion. Let’s take a look at some pointers to discuss what a business should do to digitally work its way up during this global pandemic and how it should sharpen its Digital Marketing Efforts:

• Focus on SEO:

`One of the foremost points to remember for all organizations should be to focus on search engine optimization. Now that every user is confined to his/her house, they have an ample amount of time for doing their research regarding a particular product or a service. This is the time when they’ll probably go through every or most of the websites on a search page. Well, as the chances of them checking out a website rise, it’s more of an opportunity for any business to make required tweaking on the content. Improving your previous content and creating a fresh one with all the right components like proper usage of keywords, covering all the facts concisely and presentation can be beneficial in the long run.

• Build A Perpetual Presence on Social Media:

Building a social media presence is a fundamental requirement if yours is a business that’s heavily impacted by the Internet and/or a large portion of your customer base consists of Internet users. A perpetual social media presence refers to the idea of being constantly active on social media platforms. Some of the ways to do so could be:

1. Increasing Retargeting List Length: The length of a retargeting list consists of thirty days, but increasing the waiting period can help you get long-lasting customers. Even though most of the users aren’t buying right now, they’re constantly spending time on research. And when your website comes up with updates on products and services in correlation with your current situation, it gets the users hooked.
2. Introducing New Retargeting Ads: This one is more of an extension of the previous one. Updating your products in view of the current situation calls for interactive promotion. One of the most important tools is creating promotional videos concerning the pandemic. This creates an emotional connection with your visitors.
3. Stress on Your Creative Team: Focusing on your creative team to come up with innovative content is the most important thing. Creating innovative content covers traditional content and advertisement campaigns.

• Start Stimulating Consumption: 

In this pandemic, one of the toughest situations is getting through with sales. With all the physical stores looked up, there are a few that are still open for business. Now, the problem is, they charge reasonably higher than they used to, and due to the lack of abundance, the people who’re choosing physical stores over virtual ones are paying considerably high every time. If yours is a food delivery website, this is a perfect opportunity to come up with strategies to stimulate consumption like discounts and package schemes. This will lure in more and more customers and increase the volume of sales.

• Create Remarketing Campaigns:

For every organization, a loyal customer is the most valuable asset. If your business operates heavily on the online platform, you understand the importance of a long-lasting customer. In this pandemic, every organization should take this step diligently. Creating remarketing campaigns to reconnect with past visitors can be very beneficial to turn them into loyal customers. Using Microsoft marketing, YouTube campaigns, and local display campaigns can be a way of approaching past visitors. And if your Marketing Campaigns consist of new remarketing ads and improved content presentation, it will get the visitor hooked to your organization.

• Take time to align your digital marketing efforts:

Talking about digital marketing, every point we discussed is in some way or the other related to that. But there’s more to it. Aligning your digital marketing efforts according to the pandemic is important to improve your brand image. Some of the untapped components that need attention are:

1. Creating interactive videos, images, and carousel ads
2. Provide the audience with detailed information about current products and services.
3. Answering FAQs related to questions regarding how the business is taking preventive measures.
4. Making sure that your advertising strategies are aligned with relative searches and keywords that are trending right now.
