The last couple of months have proven to be a challenge for some companies as they are trying to conduct business online and in doing so, identifying holes in their online presence and brand strategy. For others, the recent shut down of their business during this pandemic has given them time to evaluate their online brand strategy and make necessary changes to ensure their brand is protected for the future. Communication is going to be key in protecting your brand online during PAUSE and ensuring we keep “business as usual.”

- Have a plan for engagement with new and current customers. If your company offers a resource center or newsletter use Email Marketing Automation to stay engaged with customers with updates and new offerings.

- Engage with your customers on social. By simply responding to customers posts, engagements, and reviews, it shows that your brand is listening to customers and offering support when needed.
