With shut downs, shipping delays, and customers sitting at home, there’s never been a better time to keep you name in front of anxious buyers using an e-newsletter.
The COVID-19 epidemic is of unprecedented proportion. Many people have never experienced a work stoppage or for that matter a quarantine. While customers wait for orders that may be delayed due to shipping issues or supply chain problems, email is the best way to soothe worries and keep customers loyal to your business.
Here are some tips to take to heart with how to communicate with customers during these unusual times.
1. Be honest of what is going on with your business. If there are delays due to supply chain issues – share the challenges in a positive manner.
2. Accept and acknowledge the uncertainty of the situation. Be real, people truly want to connect with you during this crisis.
3. Express gratitude and appreciation for orders and for those that will wait to receive their goods due to unforeseen delays.
4. Keep a regular connection with your client-base. Specifically, contact during this uncertain period should be several times a week or once or twice a month.
