1. Pay more attention to brand digital delivery
Data[1] has shown that internet hits have surged by over 50% during the pandemic outbreak as over one-quarter of the world’s population has been locked down. Of course, the time people spend on online surfing will ease back after economic recovery, but it reminds us of the importance of brand digitization especially for the non-E-commerce business because you have no idea when the next “COVID-19” crisis will come. Reorganize and optimize the content through the online channels to keep your customers with you whenever, for example, through your website, your social media platforms and your email. Always pay more attention to the direct or indirect online communication with customers because it costs much less, covers more and is flexible beyond the geographical barriers.
2. Exploit new ways to present your business
As the quarantine policy keep people’s feet at home, it’s a good idea to rethink your business presentation. Even for the same old stuff, you can present in a brand-new way. For example, you can digitalize your factory tour and embed the VR visit on your website so that your customers can have panoramic one-the-site viewing experience whenever and wherever. Online exhibitions and webinars are becoming the choice of more and more companies to make up for the deficiency of unavailable physical attendance under the background of global pandemic outbreak. You can even live stream to interact with audience and sell your goods directly as customers accessing the Internet becomes much easier than ever before.
3. Intelligentize your customer service system
You may have the experience that you call or online chat with the customer service but get late or no replies. When customer service team members are working at home, it increases the difficulty for them to respond to customers online or offline quickly. Hence, intelligentize your customer service system is a good choice. Automate the reply of your customer service, or even apply big data and AI technologies to learn how to further understand the needs of your clients, decreasing the cost of manual customer support and improving efficiency.   
4. Have more efficient video conference
