#1 Communication is the key

For a business, customers are like lifeline and you need to ensure there is proper communication with them to make sure you retain them. If you are not able to communicate as before due to the global pandemic that has urged employees to work from home or any other reason, you can keep your customers posted about the channels that you will use to keep in touch with them and how often you will be available via the same.

Right now, social media is the best way to keep connected as your customers will also be there on these channels. You can keep them posted about what you are offering for them and other updates via social media.

#2 Collect customer insights

Do not ignore on customer insights during the global crisis. Know what is going on with your customers from time to time. Also, understand their considerations regarding your products and services. It would be beneficial if you have someone collect the customer insights to keep. These steps will ensure your customers that you are focusing on the business even during the virus outbreak and keep them engaged as well.

#3 Rethink what you can offer your customers

During the ongoing health crisis, you need to rethink what you can offer your customers. Consider taking some of the components of your business online during the global pandemic outbreak.

Also, you can think of other alternatives that can help you retain your customers by keeping them in priority.
