Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs [FFL 396] Is it OK to Market Your Business During a Crisis?
Are you feeling the stress and strain of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic? You are not alone. Our society is currently overflowing with panic and uncertainty when it comes to our daily lives — and the potential impact of this crisis on our businesses and economy. On top of being nervous about how the marketplace will be affected by COVID-19, many entrepreneurs and business leaders are also anxious about marketing their products and services while maintaining their brand reputation.
In today’s episode, I share insight on whether you should market your brand during a global crisis and my response to the concerns many have about the possible backlash for marketing during a pandemic. I discuss whether marketing is essential to keeping your business afloat, and some crisis communications tips to help you be strategic with your approach. I also highlight how to craft a meaningful marketing message without spreading hysteria and what your clients and prospects likely crave from your brand during this uncertain time.
"This current situation has only served to amplify an underlying belief that you already had." - Eleanor Beaton
