REACH YOUR AUDIENCE ONLINE DURING COVID 19
REACH YOUR
AUDIENCE ONLINE
DURING COVID 19
CURRENT STATUS IN COVID
19
It has been a year since the first case of Coronavirus, or Covid-19 was detected. And what a year it has been
since then! No seer nor new-age Nostradamus could have foreseen the complete upheaval of normalcy the year
pushed on us.
However, as a marketer or digital entrepreneur in 2020, this year has been the biggest learning for a simple
reason – it unearthed our basic emotions, stripping us all of social facades and expectations – until we showed
our truest colours
And universally, if there is one true colour we all sported, it was one of reaching out and wanting to stay
connected. Which is why it comes as no surprise that everyone went digital this year.
We all took to social networks and video platforms like fish to water – yes, even the ones who initially struggled,
have found their place on a digital platform of their choosing.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR A
MARKETER?
It means, old-age techniques of reaching out to your consumers are dead now, and
redundant.
How to reach your target audience online is now more than just about their likes, dislikes
and interests – it is now about communication
We have all undergone something powerfully dreadful together, and have still managed to
escape unharmed.
That says a lot of our flexibility – and it also says a lot about what we respond to.
And that is what marketers must tap into.
WAYS TO REACH YOUR
AUDIENCE ONLINE DURING
COVID 19
1) OFFER SKILL-BASED TRAINING
The pandemic might extend for a while. As sobering as this fact is, it has also become an
opportunity for people to gain new skills – especially one that might come in handy once
the virus is done and dusted.
When looking for ways to reach your audience online during covid 19, seriously consider
offering up educational training – hands-on, if you can afford it. There is a vast market for it
right now.
Educate yourself with New skills to stay ahead of your competition
2) JOIN THE DIGITAL BRIGADE
If you haven’t done so already, which is highly unlikely in the twenty-first century, then you
must – and we cannot harp on this enough – you must take your business to a digital
medium of your choice.
Whether you are running a small, home-based design and décor studio, or an established
business with a powerful legacy – the digital world is your oyster, and you get to be the
pearl within.
If you want to grow your business during Covid-19, go where your consumers spend the
most time – online.
3) ACE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA GAME
Is your business on Facebook? Great! Hop onto Facebook LIVE once in a while. Are your
posts not getting enough traction on Instagram? No worries – add relevant hashtags, tag
the right people, and tap into their treasure trove of Stories.
If you’re wondering how to reach your target audience online using Google, then create
and update your Google Business Profile, write relevant blog posts with the right keywords
The point is, be where your audience is, and make the most of that platform.
4) RELEVANCY IS ENGAGING
Over the last few years, social influencers have become all-powerful, all-knowing entities
whose social audiences follow and listen.
If your business is one that caters to a set of easily-influenced audience, it’s best if you
indulge in proper research on the influencers available for your field. Picking the right one
may be tricky, but remember to not just go by numbers, but by how they engage with and
influence their followers as well.
It’s best to create communication that matters to them and provide solutions in the form of
your product or services, via the influencers.
