COVID-19 Messaging Strategy

A COVID-19 messaging strategy is critical. Business will continue on, but our lives are being changed by the day. If we ignore that fact and continue, business as usual, our messaging comes across as insensitive and out of touch with what’s really happening in the world. That doesn’t mean we have to focus on the negative, but it does mean we need to address the situation.

Today, we’ve put together a couple of tips to help you quickly pivot your messaging:

• Provide value for what’s happening now
• Share solutions for how you can meet the consumer where they are
• Ensure your following and customers that their safety is your top priority 

Here is an example we’ve put together for our friends in the mortgage industry: You’re giving away a free homebuyer checklist to continue growing your list of prospective homebuyers and eventually convert them into leads for your business. Your messaging should have some context as to what’s happening today.
