Using Social Media To Grow Your Business During A Crisis

In today's episode of The Digital Slice Podcast, Brad shares a recording of a virtual presentation he gave at the Resilience 2020 Global Virtual Conference, titled Using Social Media To Grow Your Business During A Crisis.

2020 has been a year of crisis for business owners and marketers alike. Of course, we’ve been devastated by the COVID-19 Coronavirus for most of the year and, more recently, our attention has been directed to the Black Lives Matter movement.

In this Episode:

Brad advised that when a crisis occurs, pause everything and take stock in what you're currently doing and what is going on around you.
Brad suggests spending a significant amount of time listening.
Brad suggests that another key question companies must address is: Who should we communicate to?
Brad believes that a crisis may afford a business the time to take a dive deep into the company messaging.
Brad suggests that you focus in on the best channels to use to get your message out to your audience.
During a crisis Brad suggests that you focus on being there for your customer and your lead rather than selling your product or service.

Quotes from this Episode:
“Businesses need to be nimble. Be aware of what is going on in the world. And aware of how that might result in a shift in their digital marketing strategy.” - Brad Friedman
“In these circumstances, you have to ask yourself, Is my content going to be appreciated right now?” -Brad Friedman
“When crafting our marketing messages, it’s always a good idea to put ourselves in the shoes of our audience.” -Brad Friedman
“Silence would be deadly. And, saying the wrong thing could also be damaging.” -Brad Friedman
“To be honest, if you’re working with me, or if you’ve heard me speak before, you know I’m always preaching that your marketing message needs to be a message of helping along with selling.” -Brad Friedman
“There is no better time than a crisis to be “Shelping” in order to grow your business.” -Brad Friedman
