This time is an unprecendented one. For consumers, for businesses, for everyone, connectivity looks different than it did a few months ago. Even a few days ago.
Facebook released a few tips for remaining connected to your customers during this trying time, and we’ve selected the best to share with you.
1. Let customers know how to contact you to place their orders
Provide detailed contact information as well as the specifics of how they can place their orders. Mention any additional safety precautions you are taking during this time.
2. Maintain customer relationships
Even if you can’t be together in person, keep the conversation flowing online. Respond to your Facebook Messages and Instagram direct messages right from your Facebook Page inbox. You may want to set up automated responses for frequently asked questions such as hours or how to place an order.
3. Try out online events!
If you have to cancel an event, consider hosting it online instead. Go live on Facebook and Instagram and take your customers behind the scenes. Even if you didn’t have to cancel an event, you can go live to host a Q&A, interview a customer, explain your products or services, or show your fans how to do something!
