3. Promote Positivity & Goodwill in Your Marketing

People remember how they are made feel, similarly to brands, people will remember brands for their acts of good in a time of crisis, especially if the act is done from the heart and generosity.

This can be achieved from donations to the community, continuing to pay employees even when the business is shut or providing time or products for medical personnel/organisations fighting against Coronavirus.

Consumers will likely remember how companies like Ford and 3M partnered to repurpose manufacturing capacity, putting their workforce back to work to make respirators and ventilators that help fight Coronavirus.

So, what can you do for your brand?

Create Feel-good content that will help ease the anxiety of your customers and those yet to become customers of your brand by sharing positive messages.

Humans recognise authenticity and connect with those that display a true purpose.
