Businesses need to reach the customer's screen
He believes that in a pandemic feared world, a majority of the population is relying on handy screens and businesses need to reach these screens.
This can be done only by a strong online presence backed by well-practiced and employed digital marketing.
It's also true that the potentially permanent effects of the pandemic have shifted the way brands conduct business.
Advice
Methodical digital marketing practices for businesses
Abid of Bison Creations advises brands who haven't posted on social media for weeks to seek professional help with social media marketing.
Those who haven't updated company websites must turn to content marketing, he adds.
Businesses that aren't available to their customers may require some damage-control in the form of online reputation management, as customers tend to leave if the bar is not met.

Abid likens digital marketing to a lifeline
"Through it, they may communicate with their audiences, particularly when other factors keep them from interfacing personally. I'd go as far and liken it to a lifeline," he added.
Abid went on to say that many of his clients now understand that caring about their virtual space is equally essential as paying attention to a physical storefront.
Techniques
Search engine optimization and social media verification are a must
Social media feeds, search engines, and influencers are popular methods that shoppers will use during their research and evaluation phases.
Therefore, companies need to employ search engine optimization and social media verification.
On the other hand, the buying part of the journey makes new types of purchase points more important. Thus, email marketing can serve brands well during this phase.
