If you are a brand looking to find better ways to connect with your consumers in the face of the pandemic, you may want to take a close look at your data and social strategies. With so much uncertainty in the world, brands need to be transparent and genuine with their content and how they communicate with consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As consumers spend more time at home – either under lockdown rules or as they come of restrictions – they are consuming more content and information than ever before. Some of that will be content to entertain them. Some will be to re-engage consumers in preparation for coming out of lockdown. And some will be to reassure consumers, who want trust and security from brands.

Several American states are reintroducing restrictions <\/a>– such as Nevada closing bars – due to surges in infections. And in areas that are lifting restrictions, some businesses are finding it difficult to attract customers back and some people are expressing reservations about shopping and dining<\/a> out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have consumer expectations changed? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Businesses need to plan for a time when consumer confidence returns. But their worlds could have changed, and with that, what they want from a brand. To understand this, brands are turning to data-driven social strategies to inform their engagement campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are the right questions to ask?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To fully understand what consumers want from you, these are the questions a brand should consider: <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are a brand looking to find better ways to connect with your consumers in the face of the pandemic, you may want to take a close look at your data and social strategies.
