I hope you’re well, and staying safe and healthy! What a challenging time – we’re all juggling myriad responsibilities while trying to predict and prepare for post-pandemic life. What will our business and marketing plans look like in a few months, or a few years? The future may be unclear, but one thing is certain – staying in touch is imperative. We’ll continue to email, text, call and video chat with our teams and clients, and maybe utilize a few new tools, too. Here are a couple of ideas for making your communications stand out right now:
· For Zoom calls, consider a customized background that reflects your brand instead of using a standard virtual background. I love these branded template options that Northwestern University has created, and here’s the ESD background I’m trying out right now.
· Take a break from your phone and computer, and send someone a quick note by snail mail. Your thoughtfulness will stand out and be appreciated. I created a set of note cards that are perfect for saying “hello.” Let me know if you’d like a set, and I’ll mail one out to you.
