Take Your Business Where All Your Customers Are: Online

With Social Distancing in full effect, people have turned to Social Media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to connect with each other. Humans have a basic need for social interaction and with the COVID-19 situation, we’ve all been forced to keep to ourselves and that can feel isolating. To combat that, people have opted to make connections, communicate and socialise online. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has confirmed that traffic for video calling and messaging has exploded.

Similarly, user activity on video platforms such as YouTube is also soaring. As Digital Marketers, this provides us with the perfect opportunity to reach out to a wide audience. You can get more bang for your buck, which is why even B2B businesses which have resisted investing in Digital Marketing are now jumping on the bandwagon.

Since Social Distancing is the need of the hour, video conferencing has gained traction. Companies are conducting team meetings using apps such as Google Hangouts and Zoom. Doctors, lawyers and dentists are choosing to video conference with clients and patients.

There’s no doubt that a major portion of the world is now working and socialising online. So, it makes sense to invest in Digital marketing. The time is right, the opportunities are endless, so let’s take action!
